Living in Vannverksområdet
Vannverksområdet is an area of mostly houses, 27 km from Oslo S. Few children live here. Here you get sea views, lots of evening sun and quiet streets. On the downside: a long walk to transit and a kindergarten.

Prices and rent
A 70 m² flat costs about – mill. kr and a 140 m² detached house about 9.6 mill. kr, by SSB's price model. This is modelled, not actual sale prices.
Renting a 50 m² flat costs about 11,300 kr a month and a 70 m² one about 13,600 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
- Drøbak 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); bullying share not published for enough grades (Elevundersøkelsen 2024–26, 142 answers) - Drøbak Montessori ungdomsskole AS (private school, nearest lower secondary school for most homes here)
Pupils in years 8–10: well-being 4.2 of 5, close to the national average (4.1); bullying share not published for enough grades (Elevundersøkelsen 2024–26, 38 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.
