Chailly

Chailly feels less like a city district than a village that happens to sit above one. Its small centre has its own shops, cafes and bakeries, and beyond them stretch the Hermitage parkland, the Sauvabelin forest and the vineyards that ring Lausanne's heights. Families come for the houses, gardens and schools, and stay for the quiet and the green, with the city centre just a bus or short drive downhill. For investors, Chailly is a steady, owner-occupier-led market. Demand for its 3- and 4-room family units is consistent, and the scarce house-and-garden stock holds value well. But the hillside setting limits the transit-dependent renter pool, turnover is low, and yields sit in the mid-2% range, so this is a long-hold, family-housing play more than a rental engine. As across Switzerland, Lex Koller keeps the residential buyer pool to Swiss residents and permit-holders.
