[åkerman]

Hello people... need some advice here.

My office is in Kista. I am looking for an apartment near by (Kista, Akalla, Helenelund, Sundyberg, Solna etc).

Which is good area? I know, there can be many parameters and its on individual's taste and priorities.

I am looking for,

• Clean and Calm area
• Near to bus/train station, so that connectivity/transportation is not an issue
• Apartment cost are appreciated over time (means good investment)

Basically I was having a similar discussion this week, and the conclusion was that apartments that are in stockholm that have seen the greatest increase in market value have been smaller apartments of around 50sqm

With many families moving further out of stockholm, to help offset the high costs of stockholm.
This has created a market of many smaller apartments appealing to professional singles, or D.I.N.K.S. (The 80's really has caught up with Sweden LOL).

As for areas near your profession ... it depends what you can afford.
If you are looking for space, or location.

I am just wondering.. in the areas I have mentioned.. which are good areas?

• Akalla seems little dirty and not well maintained. I may be wrong.
• Kista is better compared to Akalla. But, slightly noisy ?
• Helenelund is near by Kista. and is also kind of calm. But, will apartment appreciate there?
• Solna and Sundyberg are little far.. but, many options.
• Solna has least tax as well.Apartment value appreciate better compared to all these areas I am talking abt.

• What is ideal avgift?
• What is ideal year of built for apartment to consider?
• New constructions are better valued compared to say 1970's built but well renovated?

Well if you have a look at that apartment I linked to:

It is in Husby. very close to t-bana. walking distance to Kista. Affordable both in price and avift.

It is 3 ROK 76 kvm..

There are links on the pages which can give you a better understanding on the demographics of Husby!

In Husby:

28% are aged 50-64
48% are married
23% are couples without children living at home

The most common names are Astrid and Allan!

I personally would shy away from a new build, mostly because of the high monthly fee which are usually associated with new builds. But if you are a fan of new builds and dont mind such ....

As for areas, IMHO ... they all seem non central.
Solna and Sundyberg have good transportation links which can mean a similar time frame or even shorter when commuting to the city.

I cant comment on the other areas mentioned as they are places I have never felt the need to visit. My opinion is once you are outside of the city, you are outside of the city ... regardless how much closer it may be in comparison to the next place.

I dont think there are bad areas (generally) just more so areas that would depress the sh*t out of me if I had to live there. And make life miserable ... but you know, different horses for different courses.
