Your real estate agent for Lake Zurich Left Bank and the surrounding area

The district of Horgen and life on the "Silver Coast"

The district of Horgen is located in the canton of Zurich and stretches along the left bank of Lake Zurich, which is also affectionately known as the "Silver Coast". The district municipalities of Kilchberg, Adliswil, Rüschlikon, Thalwil, Horgen, Wädenswil and Richterswil offer their own individual advantages - although all are very well positioned in terms of quality of life, proximity to nature and leisure facilities. You can drive from Zurich to Pfäffikon SZ directly along the Seestrasse and enjoy the fantastic view of Lake Zurich and the mountains. In addition, the A3 highway, which runs parallel to the lake, offers optimal transport connections to regional and national destinations. Several S-Bahn lines connect all municipalities in the district with each other every minute - as well as with the business metropolis of Zurich.

Experience shows that the real estate market on the left bank of Lake Zurich is developing at an above-average rate in sought-after locations. Your qualified VON POLL REAL ESTATE real estate agents are well connected with owners and financially strong potential buyers in this beautiful part of the world. We are happy to provide you with competent and reliable support in real estate brokerage.

Kilchberg

Kilchberg - the birthplace of the world-famous Lindt chocolate - is located directly on the lake. Lindt & Sprüngli AG still has its headquarters here today and is the largest industrial company and employer in the municipality. The Zurich suburb also shows its chocolate side with its community-oriented, infrastructural and family-friendly municipal services. The sports, recreation and leisure facilities in an idyllic rural setting also leave nothing to be desired. The Kilchberg village markets and culturally significant buildings such as the municipality's landmark - the Kilchberg Reformed Church - are known beyond the region. As an innovative location, Kilchberg boasts particularly sustainable urban planning and an energy balance.

Adliswil

In addition to Kilchberg, the political municipality of Adliswil is located in the beautiful Sihl Valley between Albis and Zimmerberg - just a few minutes away from the neighboring economic center of Zurich to the north. Adliswil is home to globally active insurance companies that contribute to the excellent infrastructure. This means that a large proportion of the more than 18,000 inhabitants work in the service sector. As a place to live, Adliswil offers plenty of peace and quiet and local recreation. A wide range of cultural and leisure activities and a lively town center round off the pleasant life here. The town also has numerous sports clubs and sports facilities for tennis and golf, for example. Companies, start-ups and investors will find well-developed commercial areas with attractive conditions.

Rüschlikon

The charming and quiet municipality of Rüschlikon is located six kilometers from Zurich city centre. The town's foundation dates back to the 12th century: thanks to targeted maintenance of historic buildings and facilities, the history of the town remains alive for residents and visitors alike. Around 400 companies are based in Rüschlikon - including international multinationals - which are constantly on the lookout for qualified specialists. Over 60 clubs and associations offer an attractive range of cultural, social and sporting activities to suit every taste.

Thalwil

Thalwil on the left bank of Lake Zurich has excellent transport links by train, boat, car or bus. Numerous shopping facilities in the center, green spaces, various markets, regular cultural events and over 100 registered associations ensure a pleasant living environment and an intact village community. The extensive forest and meadow areas and varied leisure facilities by the lake contribute to the quality of life - and invite active recreation on foot, by bike and with all kinds of water sports equipment. In terms of education, leisure and sport, the charming municipality is very well positioned.

Horgen

Surrounded by many natural forests and meadows between Lake Zurich and the Albis mountain range lies the charming little town of Horgen. Surrounded by greenery, those in need of recreation and sports enthusiasts will find every opportunity for physical exercise and relaxation on land and in the water. The exemplary municipal energy supply and sustainable energy policy are also green - Horgen has held the prestigious "Energy City Label" since 2008. Travel in the surrounding area and beyond is guaranteed thanks to three local S-Bahn stations, scheduled services and a ferry.

Wädenswil

In Wädenswil, you can enjoy breathtaking views of Lake Zurich - for example from the romantic Au peninsula. The quiet town of 21,500 inhabitants developed from an industrial location in the 19th century to a sought-after town of education, research and innovation. The town is home to a competence center of the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) with over 1,000 students and numerous jobs in research and development. Cinema, theater, numerous cultural clubs such as the chamber orchestra, tennis courts, the indoor swimming pool and the golf driving range offer a balanced range of leisure activities for every taste. Those who like to go out will find good shopping opportunities as well as several clubs and bars in the lively town center.

Richterswil

The lakeside community known as "The Pearl on Lake Zurich" is a true feel-good place with a special quality of life and excellent infrastructure for living and working. Richterswil offers the longest public access to the lake in the district of Horgen with a modern marina, special views from the Samstagerner sun terrace and a beautiful lakeside resort - giving the municipality a reputation as one of the most popular recreational areas on the left bank of the lake. Here, locals and visitors can enjoy sailing and water sports as well as the gastronomic offerings. Four S-Bahn stations ensure optimal connections. The historic, protected village center and the landmark of Richterswil - a 101-meter-high fountain - are definitely worth a visit.
