Residential areas in Örebro

Örebro is a smaller city and although there are distinct neighborhoods here, it is easier to divide the city into the 4 cardinal points and the center. Here you can read about the different parts of the city before you start looking for rental apartments in Örebro.

Northern Örebro

In northern Örebro, you live close to Lake Hjälmaren and everything that goes with it: bathing areas, waterside exercise paths, fishing, boating and ice skating in winter. Living close to Sweden's fourth largest lake has its advantages if you are an outdoor enthusiast or have a boat. It's also in this part of the city that you'll find Svampen, one of the city's famous landmarks. Svampen is a beautifully designed water tower that today houses both a café overlooking the city and a conference facility.

Eastern Örebro

Örebro University is located here and is therefore very popular with students. The beautiful city park and the Wadköping open-air museum are also located on the eastern side of the city.

South Örebro

South Örebro feels more like a countryside than a city, with huge open green areas on the doorstep. Many people who love exercise and nature live in the area, as southern Örebro has many jogging paths, water parks, a golf course and a riding school. Södra Ladugårdsängen and the new homes in the area are today very attractive and perfect for families with both younger and older children.

Western Örebro

Like the rest of Örebro, there are plenty of opportunities to walk close to forest and nature here, but western Örebro is probably the part of Örebro that feels most like a city. Here you live within walking distance of Örebro's city center and shopping streets. The E18 runs through western Örebro, which is optimal for those who commute to nearby cities.

Industry and Örebro University

Örebro is home to more than 12,000 companies ranging from major private employers such as Atlas Copco Rock Drills AB, Nobina Sverige AB and DHL to state employers such as Örebro Municipality, Region Örebro County, Örebro University and the Swedish Police Authority. While nearby Karlstad and Västerås have greater potential for ambitious workers, Örebro can instead offer a stable labor market in a smaller city where community and proximity to nature are in focus.

Thanks to Örebro University, many young people are also attracted to the city during spring and fall, and a large number of them choose to stay in the charming city after graduation. About 17,000 students live and study in Örebro and the city has become one of the country's smaller university towns.
