Hirzbrunnen Rent Prices in Basel 2026
Our Verdict
"The Grid"
At Fr29.8/m², you are paying for the convenience of walking to work at the campus rather than for any specific cultural 'buzz.' Hirzbrunnen sits firmly in THE_GRID because it offers a predictable, high-quality residential experience without the volatility of more central districts. It’s not a bargain, but the stability and access to the Tierpark justify the mid-range pricing for those who value sleep over nightlife.
The Vibe:This is essentially the backyard of the Roche towers, where city noise is replaced by the quiet rustle of the Lange Erlen woods. You'll share the sidewalks with pharmaceutical employees and locals heading to the Eglisee pool via the Tram 6 line. It is functional, green, and lacks the gritty edge found closer to the Rhine.

District Highlights
Locals Ask
Why is the top end reaching Fr38.5/m²?
That spike is driven by high-spec, furnished apartments and new builds specifically targeting short-term expat contracts at Roche.
Is the noise from Badischer Bahnhof a problem?
Only if you're in the first row of buildings; most of the neighborhood is shielded by the massive green buffers of the cemetery and parks.
Is it easy to find parking here?
It's better than Kleinbasel, but during summer, the Eglisee crowds take every available blue zone spot within a kilometer.
How fast can I get to the city center?
The Tram 6 or 2 will have you at Messeplatz in 5 minutes and Barfüsserplatz in under 15.
Is there any nightlife in Hirzbrunnen?
Absolutely not; the area shuts down after 8 PM, so you'll be heading toward Clara or the Rhine for a drink.
