Cycling into the center takes less than 10 minutes and about a quarter of an hour with the local bus.

In recent years, many residential buildings have also been built in the area and is today a neighborhood with enormous growth potential. In the area there are several exercise trails belonging to the outdoor area Ormberget and in winter you do not have to go far to get to a cross-country ski trail.
2.5 km north of Luleå city center is Bergviken, a residential area with villas and many condominiums.

Östermalm is one of the more central neighborhoods in Luleå. Despite its location in the middle of the city, you are not far from either water or nature here. It is almost as if the whole of Luleå has a perfect location between city and nature, something that is particularly evident in Östermalm. A bit to the east is Golfängen, a large outdoor facility with a restaurant and miniature golf. Getting to the city center takes only a few minutes' walk or even faster by bike.

Southeast of central Luleå, on Svartön, lies Svartöstaden. An old working-class district that today is the country's only preserved shanty town. The steelworks in the area are still active and give the area its unique character. Many of the old houses that were built for workers in the area have now been renovated and are modern homes. Newer houses with apartments have also been built here in recent years. This is the residential area preferred by many of the city's creative, artistic and musical people.
