Frequently asked questions about Annemasse coliving

Our private rooms in Annemasse Agglo (Ville-la-Grand, Ambilly, Annemasse) start at CHF 1,370/month all inclusive. The price covers rent, bills (water, electricity, heating), fibre up to 8 Gb/s, cleaning of the common areas 3 times a week, access to the heated pool, gym and sauna, weekly private yoga and fitness classes, and monthly community events. No agency fee, no application fee.

From Annemasse station, the direct Léman Express (no change) takes 8 minutes to Geneva Eaux-Vives and about 20 minutes to Cornavin. By car, count 15-20 min depending on the border crossing (Moillesulaz is the fastest). TPG tram 17 (Lancy-Pont-Rouge ↔ Annemasse) also serves central Geneva. Geneva airport is 25-30 min by car.

It depends on your priority. Ambilly is the closest to the Swiss border (Moillesulaz a 5-minute walk away, tram 17 at 5 minutes: ideal if you want to walk or cycle to Geneva). Ville-la-Grand is residential and quiet, right on the border, ideal if you want greenery (the Foron nature reserve on your doorstep). Central Annemasse (the Romagny district for Le Lodge) gives you the Léman Express station and every urban convenience nearby.

Living in Annemasse when you work in Geneva →

Yes: to work in Geneva while living on the French side you need a G permit (cross-border permit). Your Swiss employer applies for it once your contract is signed; Annemasse Agglo is within the eligible border zone. Conditions and processing times are those of the Geneva authorities (OCPM, ge.ch).

A 12-month renewable furnished lease with a 3-month minimum commitment, then 1 month's notice. It suits cross-border workers settling in for good as well as people on a probation period in Geneva. The lease follows French law (loi Alur), with a deposit of 2 months' rent excluding charges and no agency fee.

In a classic flatshare you usually manage the bills (electricity, water, internet), the cleaning and the upkeep yourself, and furnish your room. Our coliving in Annemasse includes everything in one rent: bills, fibre, cleaning 3 times a week, designer furniture, access to the premium spaces (pool, gym, sauna), community events. The price per square metre stays in line with a high-end classic flatshare in Annemasse, with no nasty surprises.

Fill in the form on our application page. We call you back within 48 h for a chat (motivation, work context, availability). If it's a good fit, we organise a visit of the house that matches your profile (La Villa in Ville-la-Grand, Le Loft in Ambilly, Le Lodge in Annemasse Romagny). Move-in can happen within 2 to 4 weeks depending on availability.

Yes, as in any central town of a metropolitan area: it depends on the neighbourhood and the hour, not on the town. Our houses are in quiet residential areas: Le Lodge in Romagny (Annemasse), La Villa in Ville-la-Grand, Le Loft in Ambilly a short walk from Moillesulaz. More than 100 residents have lived there since 2021, many of them newcomers who didn't know the area. Our article on Annemasse's neighbourhoods says, block by block, where we would live and where we wouldn't.

Living in Annemasse when you work in Geneva →

Yes, if a room is free on your date: two-minute online application, reply within 48 h, visit on site or by video, lease signed online. The median time between application and move-in at La Villa is 30 days (2026 data), and one week is enough when the room is ready.

Both, depending on the word you use: you live in a flatshare, in a house shared with 7 to 12 flatmates, but everything is already organised the way a coliving is. A furnished room of your own, a furnished lease in your name, one rent that includes bills, fibre, cleaning of the common areas 3 times a week, pool, sauna, gym and events; 29 rooms in 3 houses, run directly by the founders, no agency. What you don't have to do: find flatmates, split bills, buy furniture.
