Gellert

Gellert is where Basel's families put down roots. Just east of the old town, its calm streets are lined with detached villas, mature gardens and the kind of quiet that money buys in a compact Swiss city. The Gellertpark, the zoo nearby and the St. Jakob sports grounds keep weekends active, while reputable schools and quick tram links to the centre make daily life easy. For investors, Gellert is a low-turnover, long-hold market. Detached houses and garden apartments are scarce, expensive and rarely come up, and demand is reliably topped up by executives relocating for Basel's pharma giants. That scarcity supports values but caps liquidity, and yields sit in the mid-2% range, firmly in capital-preservation territory. As across Switzerland, Lex Koller keeps the residential buyer pool to Swiss citizens and resident permit-holders.
