    I think the best place for families who want safety and can leave their house at midnight and early morning without to worry, affordable and not so far from the center actually practically in the center is Bromma, it’s safe family vibes super into nature and great things to do there

    I grew up in Östermalm, it has been a rather posh area for a long time (it was a poor part of town originally though). I'm very upset you mentioned Nacka (and even Älta) and Haninge, but not Tyresö in-between. 😛 Well, not really, but still - much like Haninge, but smaller. We share the Tyresta National Park between us. Main "problem" is the complete reliance on busses for commuting, so in case of a blizzard we are isolated out here. Those living in Älta most often go grocery shopping in Tyresö as it is only a few minutes off. Was born here, and have been living here now for 25 years.

    It depends where in Haninge you live but anything from 30-60 min. If you live in Vega there is a direct line to central Stockholm, for example. For me, it takes about 45-50 min as I have to take a bus to the train station first.

    I grew up on Östermalm and now I live in Solna. The former is very much a white collar part of town and the latter is a blue collar part of town. Very different from each other but both are very pleasant places to live. Östermalm is very expensive though. When my family moved from that apartment it was still a rental. About a year later it became a condominium with a price tag of 10.000.000kr.

    A late comment! Yeah, even sweden is a stratified country.. even if we is kind of proud of our "equality"! However there still is people that earn more then others in sweden, by heretige, education, entrepeneurship.. a lot of reasons! In anyway.. where to live.. yeah, one often want to live where others in the same situation as one self lives, becuse one share the same social and economic situation.. often altso political wievs! Its there that both "Jante" and "Lagom" comes in.. and I only gonna focus on the good part of those! Is it importante to live in an expencive area or is it importante that ones children can roam freely to neighbours place in a townhouse/condomium/apartment.. area?
