Single room for rent - 8463 Benken ZH, Breitenstrasse 2

Your future room is the largest room in the shared apartment with 22m2 and is located on the 1st floor. From the windows, you can see the greenery of the garden. The shared apartment is located in a building section constructed in 1952, divided over 3 floors into 6.5 rooms. The entire apartment is 172m2. The house is very bright, most rooms have wooden floors, there is a tiled stove in the living room, and everything has been built ecologically.

The shared apartment is part of the self-managed cooperative BEGGO. In the house, besides your room and the communal areas of the shared apartment, there are also community rooms of the house community: a large community room, a sauna, attic, cellar, workshop, and a guest room. In total, there are 5 apartments in the cooperative, and currently, 11 adults (across generations) and 3 children live here.

Together, we take care of the house and the large garden. Across the street is our leased vegetable and fruit garden, where you can contribute as you wish. You see, there is plenty of room for creativity. We, as a cooperative, house community, and shared apartment, are jointly responsible for the house and garden.

We are looking for a roommate who appreciates shared living as much as we do and is looking for a long-term home (not a purpose-driven shared apartment). It is important to us that you are interested in sharing part of everyday life with us and participating in the lives of the other residents of the shared apartment – of course, you can also retreat in peace from time to time. We share organic, seasonal food (partly directly from the garden) and cook together – as it comes up.

We are Lukas (34, environmental scientist, often out on the bike and outdoors, occasionally graces us with bass or saxophone in the living room), Lea (36, agronomist, enjoys dancing Lindyhop, crafting, and bathing in the Rhine), and Frida (32, occupational therapist, partner of Lukas, enjoys the mountains, concerts/theater, and the garden). We have found our form of living in the shared apartment. We would be happy to tell you more when we get to know each other.
