Imagine Homes

Premium Furnished Apartments in the Zug Region

Imagine Homes rents a portfolio of high-end furnished apartments in and around Zug, in the company's home base of Baar (Schützenstrasse 3, 6340 Baar). The business targets professionals, families, and corporate relocators seeking fully furnished, move-in-ready housing on short- or long-term leases. The apartments occupy a single newly constructed building with only five units, each finished to "gehobener Eigentumsstandard" (premium ownership standard), meaning the interiors aim at a high-end residential aesthetic rather than the minimal functionalism of typical furnished rentals. Imagine Homes positions itself as offering "dein Zuhause auf Zeit" (your home-away-from-home), emphasizing comfort and individuality in an era when furnished apartments often feel anonymous.

Premium Finishes and Design Philosophy

Every Imagine Homes apartment is furnished individually and "mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet" (with careful attention to detail) rather than cookie-cutter designs. The physical specifications include natural parquet flooring throughout, unusually high ceilings and doors, large window fronts that admit natural light, high-quality boxspring beds in all rooms (not just the master bedroom), height-adjustable work desks for remote workers, and ensuite bathrooms. The site emphasizes that residents should feel comfortable immediately despite the temporary nature of their stay: "auch wenn unser Apartment nur dein Zuhause auf Zeit ist, hast Du es verdient, dich wie zu Hause zu fühlen" (even though our apartment is only your temporary home, you deserve to feel at home). This positioning appeals to executives, consultants, and remote workers spending weeks or months in one place rather than hotel-hoppers passing through.

Inventory and Pricing

Imagine Homes advertises seven furnished units across two locations. In the primary building in Baar, the company offers: a penthouse (Attika) with fireplace, three terraces, and 360-degree mountain views (price on request), a 4.5-room garden apartment with private garden for CHF 8,800 to 9,800 monthly, a 4.5-room apartment on the second floor with mountain views for CHF 8,000 to 9,000 monthly, a 4.5-room apartment on the first floor for CHF 7,500 to 8,500 monthly, and a 2.5-room apartment on the first floor for CHF 4,800 to 5,800 monthly. In Baar proper, a 5.5-room apartment rents for CHF 9,000 to 10,000 monthly, marketed as "for sports and nature lovers." In the neighboring municipality of Steinhausen (also in Zug canton), a 3.5-room apartment rents for CHF 4,000 to 5,000 monthly, described as "warm and lovingly furnished." The pricing ranges indicate that identical room counts across floors vary in price, reflecting views, privacy (garden vs. building interior), and aspect. All prices are published as ranges, suggesting seasonal or demand-based variation.

What Is Included in Monthly Rent

Imagine Homes includes the following in the monthly rent: fully furnished and equipped apartments, utilities (heating, electricity, water), WiFi and television, cleaning service, washer and dryer in the unit, a garage or electric-car parking space, and access to a garden grilling area shared by all residents. The site describes the units as "wie in einem gehobenen Hotel, nur mit viel mehr Platz und Privatsphäre" (like a high-end hotel, but with much more space and privacy). The comparison to upscale hotel service suggests professional property management, housekeeping, and responsive maintenance included in the all-in rent. The site does not specify whether trash collection, internet speed, or any other specific utilities are included beyond the implied basics.

Location and Commute

The apartments occupy Baar, a municipality 3 to 5 minutes on foot from Baar railway station. The site publishes commute distances from the Baar location to major hubs: Zug city center and Zugersee (Lake Zug) are 5 to 8 minutes by transit, Zurich main station is 25 to 30 minutes, Lucerne is 25 to 35 minutes, and Zurich airport is 40 to 45 minutes. The Baar station sits on the main rail line connecting Zurich, Zug, and points south, so a resident can commute to Zurich for work or to Lucerne for leisure without a car. Grocery stores (Migros, Coop, Denner, Aldi) are within 1 to 5 minutes walk, schools and kindergartens within 3 minutes, and swimming pools or gyms within 2 to 10 minutes. The location suits someone working in Zurich but preferring lower costs and less urban density than living directly in Zurich; the 25-30 minute commute is not insignificant but manageable for permanent or semi-permanent residents.

Lease Terms and Flexibility

The site explicitly welcomes both short- and long-term stays: "Kurz-oder langfristig" (short or long-term). It does not publish a formal minimum lease length, suggesting that Imagine Homes negotiates custom terms for each tenant. This flexibility appeals to relocators unsure whether they will stay three months, six months, or a year. The site does not publish cancellation policies, early-termination penalties, or renewal procedures.

Additional Services and Contact

Imagine Homes advertises "24/7 Check-In" and "persönliche Betreuung" (personal support), suggesting management is responsive and available outside typical office hours. The company provides a phone number (Tel: +41 41 766 24 00) but no email or booking system on the public website; prospective tenants must call to inquire about availability, pricing clarification, lease terms, and application requirements. The site emphasizes that support is personal and individualized, suggesting a small, owner-operated business rather than a large corporate property-management firm.

What the Site Does Not Disclose

Imagine Homes publishes no lease terms, no deposit requirements, no availability calendar, and no online booking. The site does not specify whether utilities carry caps or variable charges. It does not explain whether pets are permitted, whether the apartments are accessible to people with mobility limitations, whether a foreigner can rent without a Swiss employment contract, or what documentation is required. The site does not detail cleaning frequency, whether WiFi speed is guaranteed, whether parking is included in all units or charged separately, or what happens if a resident damages the apartment. For a high-end market, the lack of published lease terms suggests Imagine Homes expects direct negotiation with each prospective resident, tailoring terms to circumstance.

Who It Serves

Imagine Homes suits executives, consultants, and remote workers on temporary assignments in the Zug region, families relocating mid-year and seeking premium temporary housing, and corporate clients needing to place multiple employees. The high-end finishes and garden spaces appeal to people willing to pay for comfort and quality during a temporary stay. The Baar location near Zurich makes the apartments attractive to people working in the larger city but unwilling to live downtown. Anyone uncomfortable with traditional Swiss rental applications and wishing to avoid unfurnished apartments can access immediate, fully-fitted housing by calling Imagine Homes directly.
