Housing on Östermalm
Östermalm is known for large turn-of-the-century flats with high ceilings, stucco and parquet floors that scratch easily. The largest flats are around Karlaplan and Strandvägen, while Gärdet has bright functionalist buildings from the 1930s with smaller flats. Many buildings have an old, cramped lift, so pianos, large cabinets and art are often carried in the stairwell with extra protection.
Transport and parking
The red line stops at Östermalmstorg, Stadion, Karlaplan and Gärdet. The streets are wider than on Södermalm, but free spaces near the entrance are scarce on weekdays. Ask the housing association about rules for moving: some want floor protection in the entrance or the lift booked. Tell us in advance and we bring what is needed.
What does a move to Östermalm cost?
Examples from our calculator: 2 movers and a truck, a lift or ground level at both addresses and a 5 km drive. Prices are after the RUT deduction.
| Home | Working time | Price after RUT |
|---|---|---|
| Studio, approx. 30 m² | 3–3,5 hours | 1 500–1 750 kr |
| One-bedroom, approx. 55 m² | 3,5–4,5 hours | 1 750–2 250 kr |
| Two-bedroom, approx. 75 m² | 5–6 hours | 2 500–2 950 kr |
The times and prices are the calculator's estimate, not a quote. More stairs, a long carry or heavy items add time; if everything is packed and the truck can stand by the entrance it goes faster.
