Which residential areas in St. Gallen are interesting for your commute?
Choose a frequent destination. The actual travel time depends on the address, stop, mode of transport and time of day.
Useful starting residential districts
Station / centre
Check several residential areas and compare the actual connection from the potential address.
By life situation
Which part of St. Gallen suits your life?
Choose your situation. The recommendations are deliberately formulated as starting points – not as a blanket ranking of residential districts.

Use the selection as a starting point and then check the specific micro-location, routes and residential environment.
Before choosing a home
What should you check besides the rent?
Five topics that are easy to forget during a viewing – but can strongly affect everyday life after moving in.
Schools, childcare structures & playgrounds
School locations, day-care structures and playgrounds vary by residential area. Check the responsible services and catchment areas for the specific address directly with the city or municipality.
Road, rail, public transport & micro-location
Check the specific address, not just the residential area. Municipal and cantonal geoinformation helps with traffic and noise context; the surroundings should also be visited at different times of day and night.
Heat, shade & urban climate
Summer heat strongly depends on the micro-location and building. Check the floor, top-floor/roof position, orientation, shading, window areas and cross-ventilation for the specific home.
A parking permit does not replace a private parking space
Parking permits, zones and fees vary locally. Before moving in, check the rules for the specific address; a permit does not guarantee a free parking space.
Put taxes in St. Gallen into context
The tax burden depends on the canton, municipality, income, assets and personal deductions. Check your specific situation using the official tax information or the relevant tax calculator.
