Type: from the name – foundation, municipality, company or association where the name shows it, otherwise cooperative (not verified against the commercial register). Apartments: total number of apartments as stated by the provider, all cantons (– = unknown). * Waiting list noted: an entry in our directory, not checked individually – whether the provider keeps a list, and for whom (often only existing tenants), is stated on its own website; a link, where given, is the sign-up link on record, not checked by us (– = none noted). Active listings / listings: the provider's listings in the canton of Luzern on Laos.io. As of 5 Nov 2026.

FAQ: housing cooperatives in the canton of Luzern

How many housing cooperatives are there in the canton of Luzern?

Our directory lists 79 housing cooperatives and non-profit landlords in the canton of Luzern (as of 5 Nov 2026). The directory is not necessarily complete: very small cooperatives are sometimes missing.

Which cooperatives in the canton of Luzern have apartments available?

10 cooperatives currently have active listings on Laos.io, for example Wohngenossenschaft Geissenstein - EBG (11), Baugenossenschaft Reussbühl (2), SBL Wohnbaugenossenschaft Luzern (2) and ABK Allgemeine Baugenossenschaft Kriens (2). Across all providers, 35 listings for cooperative apartments in the canton are active, including listings from property portals. Check with the landlord whether an apartment is still available. Listings are often only online briefly – a search alert tells you about new ones.

How do I get on a cooperative's waiting list?

Whether a provider keeps a waiting list, and for whom, is stated on its own website – some lists are only open to existing tenants or members, others are closed, and many providers let apartments only through listings. For 53 of the 79 providers in the canton of Luzern, our directory notes a waiting list, for 47 of them with a sign-up link (not checked individually). Where a list is open, you usually register online or by e-mail and may have to confirm your registration regularly.

What is the difference between a building cooperative and a housing cooperative?

In everyday use both terms mean the same: a cooperative that builds or buys apartments and lets them to its members at cost rent, without a profit margin. Names such as housing, residential or estate cooperative usually also refer to non-profit housing providers.
