Living here
Forkarby is a small locality in Uppsala municipality in Uppsala County, with about 123 inhabitants. The range of services within three kilometres is broader than the size suggests, partly because Bälinge is within reach. There are a grocery shop, Träffköp, a couple of schools, Bälinge skola and Hagmarkens skola, two preschools, a health centre, a library, a café and several restaurants. There are also about ten playgrounds and parks.
The surrounding area is strikingly young. About a third are under twenty, four in ten are between twenty and forty-four and only one in ten is over 65. That points to an area of families with children.
Forkarby suits families who want services near a small place. Anyone who wants a larger range than Bälinge has to leave the district.
