Prices and rent
A 70 m² flat costs about 4.8 mill. kr and a 140 m² detached house about 6.6 mill. kr, by SSB's price model. This is modelled, not actual sale prices.
Renting a 50 m² flat costs about 12,500 kr a month and a 70 m² one about 15,000 kr, excluding power, by SSB's rental survey. SSB gives rent per town or bydel, not per neighbourhood, so the figure is adjusted by the price level here.
Schools
- Presteheia skole (nearest primary school for most homes here)
Pupils in years 5–7: well-being 4.3 of 5, above the national average (4.1); 11 % bullied, close to the national share (13 %) (Elevundersøkelsen 2024–26, 278 answers) - Stiftelsen steinerskolen i Kristiansand (private school, nearest lower secondary school for most homes here)
The nearest school is not always the catchment school: check with the kommune. The pupil survey says how pupils feel at school, not how much they learn. Small schools and grades are hidden by Udir.
