The main town of its district and the beating heart of La Côte, Nyon ranks among the most sought-after towns on Lake Geneva’s arc, between lake and vineyard. Its historic centre brings together the castle, Place du Marché and the pedestrian streets running down to the harbour. It sits alongside newer districts such as La Petite Prairie or the area around the station, where the supply of apartments has grown markedly in recent years, for renting as well as for buying.
In terms of transport, the town is a regional hub: direct trains to Geneva (about a quarter of an hour) and Lausanne, the Nyon–St-Cergue–Morez railway (NStCM) towards the foot of the Jura, an urban bus network, a CGN lake steamer landing stage and the A1 motorway junction. Families find a full range of schools, from compulsory schooling through to the Gymnase de Nyon, as well as international private schools close by, in Prangins as in Terre Sainte.
The local job market is solid: company headquarters, UEFA, export-oriented SMEs. Cultural life is punctuated by the Paléo Festival and Visions du Réel. Restaurants, weekly markets and a busy calendar of associations add to the town’s pull. This appeal sustains steady demand for renting and for buying, with price levels among the highest in the canton of Vaud. Our figures by locality are gathered on the price-per-square-metre page, updated with each edition.
