About the place

Living here

Sandkullen och Sågarehagen is a built-up area in Lerum municipality in Västergötland with about 217 inhabitants. Lerum is a bike ride or drive away, and among the neighbouring towns are Lindskogen, Tollered and Slätthult.

Most houses lie right next to a main road, and forest and field are nearby. The lake Lensjön is a couple of minutes' walk away. A grocery shop, a school and a railway station are a bike ride or drive away for most people. The nearest petrol station with a shop is Circle K Floda, and within three kilometres there are also Berghultsskolan, Skallsjö kyrka and several playgrounds. A power line runs a couple of minutes' walk from the houses, and a registered contaminated site is just as near.

To Lerum it takes a quarter of an hour by car, to Göteborg half an hour, to Malmö three and a half hours and to Stockholm six hours. The surrounding area has a mixed age distribution: roughly a quarter are under twenty and roughly one in five is over sixty-five.

The area suits anyone who wants a short route to Göteborg but wants to live near a lake and forest and does not mind taking the car to the shop. Anyone who wants to walk to a shop and a train is better suited to a denser town.
