Living in Yverdon working in Geneva

I have found a good deal for a nice flat in Yverdon-les-bains. I work in Geneva. I was wondering if anyone here lives in Yverdon and comes to work in Geneva everyday. Is it feasible?


Second question is: How is living in Yverdon? are there things to do? places to go out? bars and night life?

Hi there,


Yverdon is a bit far from Geneva but it is feasible.( direct train Geneva - Morges - Yverdon)  If you don't work too far from Gare Cornavin it eases your life.


I commuted for 3 years between Lausanne and Geneva, and I was very happy when i found an appartment in Geneva. You get a life after all !!!


Yverdon is a small city, nothing very exiting but it is true that the price of appartment are very low compare to Geneva...


If you want to be outside of Geneva : Morges, Lausanne are good options and the night life is better in Lausanne than Yverdon ; )


If any more question, PM me : )


Good luck

Thank you "jcatjost".


I checked that train and it only takes 48 min to Yverdon. As I work near Cornavin, in 1h 5 min I can be home (where I live now is nearly 1h 30min).


Plus, the flat in Yverdon (110 sqm, 4.5, new) is simply UNTHINKABLE for CHF 2K in Geneva. I have 2 kids (separated father) and having an extra room to welcome my kids and a studio for my personal work (photo) is a must.


... As for bars and nightlife... I'm not much of a party beast... a little bar for a drink every once in a while will be more than enough.


Well... it seems I will live in Yverdon.


Cheers....

HI Huck,


I live in a little village just down the road from you and I managed 18 months in Geneva before finding a better job elsewhere. However it's time for a change and I'm looking a jobd in Lausanne and Geneva.


Good luck with the commuting and job.


I don't know about the night life there either as I mostly go out in Lausanne.
