Although the canton of Zug is one of Switzerland’s smallest in terms of size, it has a population density much higher than the national average, with five cities that have more than 10,000 inhabitants, including the capital, Zug, which has 30,000. The tight real estate market is also due to the tax advantages here, which makes it hard to find an apartment to rent in the canton of Zug.
With annual per capita GDP averaging CHF 153,895 in 2016, the canton of Zug is Switzerland's second richest canton. This is mainly due to the attractive tax policy the canton developed while maintaining a very low unemployment rate. The canton is therefore home to many brokerage houses and the headquarters of multinational companies.
Density often means the real estate market is tight. That's why it's a good idea to use the platform of SherlockHomes, the specialist in finding real estate in Switzerland, if you hope to find an apartment to rent in the canton of Zug. And to be sure you don't miss out on a rental in Zug, the site offers useful tips and tools for putting together a complete application likely to obtain the owner's approval. You should know, however, that rents can be higher than in other, less densely populated cantons.
