The location

Rüschlikon lies on Lake Zurich between Kilchberg and Thalwil. The village is characterised by slopes with lake views, the Park im Grüene and a quiet residential structure. The S-Bahn reaches the main station in about twelve minutes.
Who stays here
The Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute and proximity to corporate sites on the western shore bring business guests. Added to that are leisure guests seeking lake views and quiet. Properties with a view stand out clearly here — that is the point where photography makes the difference.

Questions about Rüschlikon
Before you decide
What makes Rüschlikon special for short-term letting?
The hillside locations with lake views — and the fact that these are hard to photograph. A shot from inside looking out that shows the lake raises the click-through rate considerably; industry sources cite 20 to 30 per cent more clicks for good photography. Conversely: mention the view only in the text and you will not be clicked in the results list. Add to that the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute as a conference venue with demand of its own, and the Park im Grüene with lake access.
How well connected is Rüschlikon?
The S-Bahn reaches the main station in about twelve minutes. That is the decisive figure for business travellers: under fifteen minutes a location counts as close to the city, above that as the outskirts — even if the distance is the same. For the listing that means stating the journey time in minutes, not «good connections». Anyone looking for accommodation for an appointment in Zurich thinks in minutes.
Do I need parking in Rüschlikon?
Considerably more so than in the city. On the western shore more guests arrive by car, especially on longer stays and with families. If parking is available it belongs in the title — it is a filter attribute people search for. If not, public parking with costs belongs in the listing, because a missing statement reads as «no parking».
Which regulation applies in Rüschlikon?
Rüschlikon has its own building and zoning ordinance (Bau- und Zonenordnung); the Zurich city regulation does not apply here. Whether and which restrictions exist for short-term letting is a matter for the municipal building authority — we found no publicly accessible source, and that does not mean nothing applies. Following the Kilchberg resolution of June 2026, movement is to be expected in the lakeside municipalities in any case. This check rests with the owner.
Who books in Rüschlikon?
Conference guests of the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute, business travellers, leisure guests and, in summer, families. Stays are longer than in the city, weekend occupancy lower. For management that means: a weekly or monthly discount is worth more here than in Zurich, because it reduces cleaning turnovers — ten per cent off costs less than two additional turnovers.
Not legal or tax advice — the municipality gives binding information.
