What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Lausanne?

We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Lausanne is like. They answered...

"A "villa jumelle" which is 2 houses next to each other. This is a good value here as the rent is a good value and you have your own house and garden and not so much land or expenses to take care of for a stand alone house. This is very common in this area," remarked another expat who made the move to Lausanne, Switzerland.
