Buying in Vernier, the Right Bank along the Rhône

Vernier is one of the most populous municipalities in the canton and one of the most varied. On the Right Bank, between the Rhône and the airport, it brings together very different areas, from quiet villa zones to the large housing estates of the 1960s and 1970s. The municipality is structured into several distinct districts: Vernier-village to the west, the Aïre peninsula bordered by the Rhône, Châtelaine, now residential, and the large estates of Le Lignon and Les Avanchets. Business zones and natural areas line the Rhône. This coexistence of property types makes Vernier a municipality where each property is assessed according to its area, its architecture and its immediate surroundings.
