Getting around
Walking distance to Göteborg Central (trains) and Nils Ericson Terminalen (Flygbussarna, regional buses).

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area in Gothenburg for families?

It depends on whether you want a flat or a house. For flats close to parks and the centre, look at Linnéstaden (Slottsskogen), Majorna-Kungsladugård and Örgryte (Delsjön nature reserve). For houses and space, Torslanda, Askim/Hovås, Mölndal, Partille and Kungsbacka. Check the preschool queue in your area early.

Where do young professionals live in Gothenburg?

Mostly in the inner city: Linnéstaden, Vasastan, Majorna, Lorensberg and the city centre for restaurants and nightlife, and Lindholmen or Eriksberg for people working in the tech district on Hisingen.

Which areas of Gothenburg have the cheapest rents?

In SCB's 2026 rent survey, first-hand rents are lowest in Angered (SEK 1,204 per m² a year), Västra Hisingen (1,401), Västra Göteborg (1,456) and Östra Göteborg, which includes Gamlestaden (1,470). The city average is 1,602. On the sublet market, the lowest 2-room medians were in Västra and Östra Göteborg (about SEK 9,500-9,600 a month).

Is it worth living outside Gothenburg, in Mölndal, Partille or Kungsbacka?

Mölndal and Partille are in the same Västtrafik zone A as Gothenburg, so a normal monthly ticket covers the commute, and both have fast trains. Kungsbacka is in zone B, so you need a two-zone ticket (SEK 1,335 a month at the ordinary price), and healthcare is run by Region Halland. Local tax is lower in Mölndal (31.99%) and Partille (31.36%) than in Göteborg (32.60%).

Where should I live if I work at Lindholmen or Volvo?

For Lindholmen: Lindholmen, Eriksberg, Kvillebäcken or anywhere on tram lines 10 and 12, or near the river ferries. For Volvo Cars in Torslanda: Torslanda itself or areas on the X1, X6 and X77 express buses.
