Your real estate agent for the Lake Zurich Platinum Coast and the surrounding area
The district of Horgen is located in the canton of Zurich and stretches along the left shore of Lake Zurich, which is affectionately known as the “Silver Coast.” The district’s municipalities—Kilchberg, Adliswil, Rüschlikon, Thalwil, Horgen, Wädenswil, and Richterswil—each offer their own unique advantages, though all are exceptionally well-positioned in terms of quality of life, proximity to nature, and recreational opportunities. Traveling directly along Seestrasse from Zurich to Pfäffikon SZ, you can enjoy fantastic views of Lake Zurich and the surrounding mountains. In addition, the parallel A3 highway provides optimal transportation connections to both regional and national destinations. Several S-Bahn lines connect all municipalities in the district to one another—as well as to the economic hub of Zurich—at one-minute intervals.
Experience shows that the real estate market on the left bank of Lake Zurich in sought-after locations is developing at an above-average rate. Your qualified VON POLL REAL ESTATE agents have an excellent network of owners and financially strong prospective buyers in this beautiful corner 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 situated directly on the lake. To this day, Lindt & Sprüngli AG has its headquarters here and is the municipality’s largest industrial enterprise and employer. This Zurich suburb also shines in terms of its community-oriented, well-developed, and family-friendly municipal services. Likewise, the sports, recreation, and leisure offerings in this idyllic rural setting leave nothing to be desired. The Kilchberg village markets and culturally significant buildings, such as the municipality’s landmark—the Reformed Church of Kilchberg—are known far beyond the region. As an innovative location, Kilchberg boasts particularly sustainable urban planning and an energy balance.
Adliswil
Adjacent to Kilchberg, the political municipality of Adliswil is situated in the beautiful Sihltal valley between the Albis and Zimmerberg mountains—just a few minutes from the economic hub of Zurich to the north. Adliswil is home to globally active insurance companies that contribute to its excellent infrastructure. As a result, a large portion of the over 18,000 residents work in the service sector. As a place to live, Adliswil offers plenty of peace and quiet and local recreational opportunities. A diverse range of cultural and leisure activities, along with a lively town center, round out the pleasant lifestyle here. Additionally, the town boasts numerous sports clubs and facilities for activities such as tennis and golf.

The town’s origins date back to the 12th century: thanks to the careful preservation of historic buildings and facilities, the town’s history remains alive for residents and visitors alike. Around 400 companies are headquartered in Rüschlikon—including international conglomerates—which are constantly seeking qualified professionals. Over 60 clubs offer an attractive range of cultural, social, and sporting activities to suit every taste.

When it comes to education, leisure, and sports, this charming community is very well-positioned.

Surrounded by many unspoiled forests and meadows between Lake Zurich and the Albis mountain range lies the charming little town of Horgen. Nestled in the countryside, those seeking relaxation and sports enthusiasts will find every opportunity for physical activity and relaxation on land and in the water. Green is also the town’s exemplary energy supply and sustainable energy policy—Horgen has held the prestigious “Energy City Label” since 2008. Travel within the surrounding area and beyond is guaranteed by three local S-Bahn stations, regular bus service, and a ferry.
Wädenswil
In Wädenswil, you can enjoy breathtaking views of Lake Zurich—for example, from the romantic Au Peninsula. This quiet town of 21,500 residents evolved from an industrial hub in the 19th century into a sought-after center for education, research, and innovation. The town is home to a center of excellence at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) with over 1,000 students and numerous jobs in research and development. A movie theater, a theater, numerous cultural associations such as the chamber orchestra, tennis courts, an indoor swimming pool, and a golf driving range offer a well-rounded selection of leisure activities for every taste. Those who enjoy going out will find good shopping opportunities as well as several clubs and bars in the lively town center.
Richterswil
Known as “The Pearl of Lake Zurich,” this lakeside community is a true haven of well-being with a special quality of life and excellent infrastructure for living and working. Richterswil offers the longest public lakefront access in the Horgen district, featuring a modern marina, a spectacular view from the Samstagern sun terrace, and a beautiful lakeside resort—thus earning the town a reputation as one of the most popular recreational areas on the left bank of the lake. Here, locals and visitors alike can enjoy sailing and water sports while savoring the local culinary offerings. Four S-Bahn stations ensure excellent transportation links. The historic, protected village center and the landmark of Richterswil—a 101-meter-high fountain—are definitely worth a visit.
