Prices and rent
A 70 m² flat costs about – mill. kr and a 140 m² detached house about 4.5 mill. kr, by SSB's price model. This is modelled, not actual sale prices.
Renting a 50 m² flat costs about 10,900 kr a month and a 70 m² one about 13,100 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.

- Ve skole (years 1–10, nearest for most homes here)
Pupils in years 5–7: well-being 4.3 of 5, above the national average (4.1); 13 % bullied, close to the national share (13 %) (Elevundersøkelsen 2024–26, 195 answers)

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.
