Waiting lists for cooperatives

55 providers in the greater Zurich area: waiting lists, interest forms and other application routes, with eligibility and current intake information. Checked 12 September 2026.

Jump to the lists:

City of Zurich · 18 Canton outside the city · 29 Through membership · 4 Retirement apartments · 10

Providers use different processes: waiting lists, applicant pools, newsletters or applications for advertised apartments. Registering does not guarantee an apartment; allocation is not always first come, first served. Check eligibility, validity and whether renewal or a new application is required. Follow the provider’s current instructions.

The city of Zurich is part of the canton. The second list covers homes outside the city; providers with homes in both areas appear in both lists. Membership and senior housing are separate categories with location notes. Checked 12 September 2026. Please report inconsistencies via our contact form.
