One of Sweden's fastest developing cities has a lot to offer, both for younger singles and families with children.

Västerås - an ambitious city
Västerås is today Sweden's fifth largest urban area with a population of more than 110,000 people. So how did little Västerås become so big? The main reason is the many job opportunities available in the city. ABB and Nordiska Metall are probably the companies with the biggest presence in the city, but it was also in Västerås that both H&M and ICA were founded. While ABB is today one of the city's largest employers, the IT electronics and digital design industries have emerged in the city.

Living right by the water just a 20-minute walk from central Västerås is a dream for many young Västerås residents, and for those with a boat, Öster Mälarstrand is probably the most optimal neighborhood to move to today.
Karlsdal
Karlsdal and Kristiansborg are two charming residential areas in northeastern Västerås. Several new apartment buildings have been built here in recent years, but the area is known for its slightly older, traditional buildings. City is only a short walk away and here you live with all the advantages of living centrally but a little closer to the highway for easier commuting. From Karlsdal you can also easily get to Mälardalen University, Carlforsska gymnasium and Arosvallen.
Rönnby
About 5 km north of Västerås City is charming and natural Rönnby. The area was developed in the 1970s and today consists mainly of condominiums and houses. A short distance from Rönnby is the Rocklunda outdoor area, which is one of Scandinavia's largest composite sports areas. Here you can play sports both indoors and outdoors, all year round. From Rönnby you can get to central Västerås by bus or bike in less than 20 minutes.
Bäckby
A well-planned residential area just outside the city with many families with children. Bäckby is located about 6 km west of central Västerås. Around the corner is Erikslund's trading place with all the services and shopping you can imagine. Living a bit outside the city also means that you live close to nature, in Bäckby there are several light trails and sports areas for active Västerås residents. Getting into town by bus takes about 20 minutes and half an hour by bike.
