As part of the Glattalstadt, Bassersdorf (Bülach district) has developed into a medium-sized agglomeration with all the advantages of a well-situated business location. Despite the tremendous growth of recent years, the community has been able to retain the charm of a village.
Due to its ideal location in the triangle between Zurich, Winterthur and the airport in Kloten, well-known companies have settled in Bassersdorf. Bassersdorf is also extremely popular as a place to live, as the significant population growth of the last 20 years proves. In 2000, the municipality had 7400 inhabitants, just seven years later over 10,000. Today, the population is just over 12,000.
In addition to a wide range of education and support services, Bassersdorf has attractive sports and leisure facilities as well as a diverse range of club life. The redesign of the village center, which included the construction of rental apartments, shopping facilities and a multifunctional, usable village square, has also had a positive effect on the attractiveness of village life.
Attractive village center
In fact, a new, attractive village center was built on the wasteland of the former Bassersdorf train station in 2015. Two residential and commercial buildings with a total of 71 rental apartments surround the village square with a new pavilion — which also offers space for events. Both properties have a base area for major distributors Migros and Coop. In addition, the properties have impressive roof gardens on the roof of the base area, which serve as communal outdoor spaces. An underground parking garage connects all buildings and offers a total of 254 parking spaces for business customers and residents.
Leisure activities can be enjoyed in associations, among others. There are many events throughout the year, and there is also a wide range of sports on offer — with an indoor pool, outdoor pool, skate park, fitness trail, fin track and fitness center. Various viewpoints invite you to take a walk. You can find out more about these offers here.
