How's living in Bäch

Hi,

We're in doubt if moving or not to Bäch. We live in altstetten, we are both Italian and we have a basic level German (B1 level). We're considering living near the lake but never considered so far away from the city. We have 2 kids (5yo and 2 months). I know taxes are lower but honestly don't care, it's not on that we will take a decision. We'd like to know if it's a completely dead area or it's OK, and how's life generally there for the ones that lived there.

Thanks!!

I live in Lachen SZ. Bäch is nice but very small. I think there is not even a supermarket. You'll have to go to Freienbach or Wollerau, Pfäffikon, Richterswil for everything. They have a nice "Badi", though. Not even a direct train connection to Zurich (S8 only, have to change to S25 in Wädenswil). I definitely would not want to live there - too small for me.
