Housing on Södermalm
Most of Södermalm was built between the 1880s and the 1930s. The buildings often have narrow stairwells, and where there is a lift it is small – a sofa or a double bed rarely fits. Around Hornstull, Mariatorget and SoFo studios and one-bedroom flats dominate, while larger flats are more common along Ringvägen and down towards Årstaviken. Expect large furniture to be carried on the stairs or taken apart.
Transport and parking
The metro's red and green lines run straight through the district, so you can manage without a car. For the moving truck it is harder: the streets are narrow, the hills steep and parking spaces few. Check in good time where the truck can stand and whether the street has cleaning that day. The closer to the entrance we can load, the less time the move takes.
What does a move to Södermalm cost?
Examples from our calculator: 2 movers and a truck, floor 4 without a lift at the old address 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 | 4,5–5,5 hours | 2 250–2 700 kr |
| Two-bedroom, approx. 75 m² | 6–7,5 hours | 2 950–3 700 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.
