Cooperative housing in the canton of Luzern
Most cooperative apartments in the canton of Lucerne are in the city of Lucerne and the neighbouring municipalities of Kriens, Emmen, Ebikon and Horw.
In a 2012 popular vote, the city of Lucerne set itself the goal of increasing the share of non-profit housing and makes land available under building leases for that purpose. In rural areas the supply is much smaller. Vacancies are scarce, and this page brings the listings of Lucerne's cooperatives together in one place.
