After staying in the sub-urbs of Stuttgart for four-and-a-half months, I have the following recommendation for a person living alone and working in Schwieberdingen. I suggest staying closer to the city. This way you can catch the weekend action of the city without having to worry about “the-last-bus-to-your-home”. Weekend public transport connection is very poor for sub-urban towns like Schwieberdingen. You will feel isolated and bored in such village-like places. Localities within the Stuttgart city limits like Zuffenhausen, Weilimdorf and Feuerbach are very well connected on all days till mid-night including weekends with U-Bahn (city-tram service). The flip-side of staying in the city is that, your office will be far. Daily travel one-side from the city to your office in Schwieberdingen can be anywhere between 1-hr to 1.5-hrs by public transport, and may involve multiple changes of bus, S-bahn or U-bahn. Schwieberdingen is poorly connected even during the week.
Also, sub-urban towns of Ludwigsburg and Asperg are well connected to the Schwieberdingen. There are direct bus services from these places to Schwieberdingen. And for weekend, they are served by S-Bahn (sub-urban train). The plus-point is that Ludwigsburg itself is quite a big town.
