Bälinge is a built-up area in Uppsala municipality in Uppland and the church village of Bälinge socken, about fifteen kilometres north of Uppsala. The town has a little over 2,400 inhabitants, and by car it is half an hour to Uppsala and an hour and a quarter to Stockholm.
The school is a couple of minutes' walk away for most, the food shop walking distance but not close. The town has several schools, a food shop, a library, a health centre and a couple of restaurants, but no café. The nearest café is a bike ride or car trip away. The railway station is far off, a car journey, and the major road runs right next to most houses but is a bike ride or car trip from the centre. The fire station and police are also a car journey away.
The forest is right next to the houses and the fields a couple of minutes' walk away. A floodlit track is walking distance but not close, and water is found only a bike ride or car trip away. Industry and the railway are far from the houses, and the town has several registered contaminated land sites.
The area around the town is a district for families with children: just under a third are under twenty and just under a fifth are over sixty-five. Club life is broad for the size, with a community hall association, the sports ground Bälinge IP, FC Bälinge City, a shooting club and PRO.
Bälinge suits families who want a house and school nearby and who can drive to work. Anyone who depends on trains or wants a café and restaurant within walking distance should look closer to Uppsala.
