Living in Frontenex Or Chene Bougerie, Geneva

Hello All,


I need your help in deciding the place to live.We are looking for a new apartment and are very much interested in two apartment. One is in Frontene, near the football stadium and the other is in Chene Bougerie.


We liked both the apartments but it felt like the locality is too quiet. We went in the evening for a visit and couldn’t see anyone around. Even there were 4 buildings together and a small park but nobody was walking, no kids playing in the park, no noise, totally quiet.


Does anyone have any idea about these places to live? Hoping to find someone who loves nearby and can share his/her experienc.


 


Thanks,


Muskaan

Frontenex is going to be quiet, theres no emnities as such there - on the upside you might have good views going down to the lake, you are close to the park de la grange and its quite easy to walk into the centre of geneva or down to the lake, or only a very small number of stops on the bus.  Chene Bougeries is totally different in my opinion; it has a town centre, lots of amenities, it feels more like a little village of itself and has a weight to support itself.  But you are further away from Geneva and so getting into town is more tricky.  From an ambience point of view, chene bougeries is very nice though.

Hi there, 


both areas are safe and very nice.


within these 2 places, Many local rich Swiss people would prefer to live in Chene-Bourgeries due to law Tax rate scale.


Frontenex is right next to Eaux-vives, lively and close to the lake and nature park.


Hope it helps.


Best regards,


Xiaoke

Hello,


Many thanks for your reply. Just to understand as you mentioned low tax rates in Chene Bougerie, Does chene bougerie not come in Geneva? People working in Geneva pay less taxes in Chene Bougerie?

Hey Muskaan, 


 


we live in chene-bourg and we'd seen apartments in frontennex and chene-bougeries. both are great neighbourhoods like everyone says. frontenex would be more communal and parc de la grange is a great place, especially if you have kids. i generally found apartments in frontennex smaller than those in chene-bourgereies. Hope you have choices of the apartments already as getting the apartments in specific areas is very tricky in Geneva. it might be a much longer wait.
