Prices and rent
A 70 m² flat costs about 5.5 mill. kr and a 140 m² detached house about 10.6 mill. kr, by SSB's price model. This is modelled, not actual sale prices.
Renting a 50 m² flat costs about 13,300 kr a month and a 70 m² one about 15,900 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.

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.
