Trial Living in Retirement – New City, New Life, No Risk

Retirement opens up new freedoms – including the freedom to change where you live. But a move deserves careful thought. GLANDON Apartments gives you the opportunity to get to know a new city or neighbourhood for a while before making a long-term commitment. Furnished, straightforward, and with no obligations – so that trial living truly means a trial.

 

A New City – But Is It the Right Decision?

Many people dream of moving in retirement: closer to their children, to a quieter area, to a city with particular amenities, or simply into a new environment that brings variety. Yet the thought of leaving a familiar place and settling permanently somewhere else can feel daunting.

Trial living with GLANDON gives you the chance to try exactly that – without pressure and without the risk of a wrong decision. You live in the new city for a few months, experience daily life there, and then decide whether it is the right fit for you.

Getting to Know Locations in German-Speaking Switzerland – With GLANDON

GLANDON is represented at ten locations in German-speaking Switzerland – from the scale of a large city to quieter suburban communities. Whether you want to explore urban life in Zurich or Bern, or whether a quieter residential setting in Gümligen, Ennetbaden, or Wabern is more to your taste: GLANDON offers furnished apartments in a variety of environments that are made for trial living.

 

Trial Living as the First Step Towards a Lasting Decision

Many of our guests use trial living as a deliberate first step. They live in the new city for two to four months, build initial connections, explore leisure options and everyday life – and then make a considered decision. Some choose a permanent apartment at the new location; others consciously return to their previous home. Both are a good outcome.
