Nyhagen och Översättra

Nyhagen och Översättra is a built-up area in Österåker municipality in Uppland, with just over 600 inhabitants. It lies right next to Åkersberga, a town of around 38,000 inhabitants, and Stockholm is about three quarters of an hour away by car. Åkersberga can be reached in a quarter of an hour.

Åkersberga is within walking distance but not close, and Solbergasjön a couple of minutes' walk away. The sea is also a couple of minutes' walk away, and the forest right next to it. The school is within walking distance but not close. The grocery shop, ICA Nära Skånsta, and the railway station require a bike or car. Nearby are Skärgårdsstads förskola and a couple more preschools, several playgrounds and about ten parks, among them Domarudden and the boat playpark at Murkelvägen. Länsmansgården is a café nearby, and there is a campsite and a couple of viewpoints.

Solberga, with just over 500 inhabitants, is as close as Åkersberga. A power line runs a couple of minutes' walk away.

The surrounding area has mixed ages and many families with children: almost three in ten are under twenty, and only one in eight is over sixty-five. Österåker municipality has one of the highest incomes in the country and a very low share of people with tight finances.

Nyhagen och Översättra suits families with children who want to live green near Stockholm and the sea. Someone who wants a shop within walking distance should expect to use a car.
