Accomodation

Take a look at the map of Värmland. You'll see you have limitless options for finding somewhere to live that'll suit you and your family.

You can set up home in an apartment in the heart of Karlstad, the biggest town in Värmland, buy a charming house in one of the older districts of the town, or move into a house on the fringes of the town. You can also set your sights on a smaller place or look for your dream house out in the country. In Värmland, we have manor houses and farmhouses with outbuildings, land and forests that need care and commitment from new owners. You'll also find here smaller crofts and houses next to lakes, with their own jetties and places to swim.

If you want the best of both worlds, though, it's easy to find a combination where you can live in the centre of a town but with the countryside not far away and within easy reach. This is one of the biggest advantages of living here in Värmland!

The cost of accommodation, on average, is the single biggest household outgoing for families both in Sweden and elsewhere in Europe. But here in Värmland, you might find your money goes further than you'd normally expect. If you move here from another country in Europe, you'll discover that the standard of our housing is often higher than elsewhere, and that homes are more spacious.
 
But statistics are one thing. Reality, with all its variations and options, is often very different. Apartment prices, rents and house prices vary widely between different municipalities in Värmland. The best thing you can do would be to contact a broker who can help you to wade through the jargon and work out where you'd most like to live in Värmland.
