Thinking of moving to Skövde? Great!
Skövde is an open and welcoming city in constant change. Which is not surprising as we are part of Skaraborg - Sweden's fourth largest labor market region. Every year, hundreds of new recruits come to the regiment and thousands of new students to the university. Not to mention all the talent from near and far that joins our expansive companies and contributes to renewal and growth.
So, what’s your housing preference? Rural but close to the city, newly built, amidst the buzz of the city or near the rail station? You’ll find most options covered here. For those who want to live in a lively location, plans are under way for Skövde Science City, a unique new city-centre district with sustainable housing for a varied age range intermingled with business premises and innovative meeting places.
Questions and concerns? Of course you do. Moving is a big step and luckily we are very good at service. At Welcome House Skövde, we help you along the way and answer questions about what it is like to live in Skövde.
Where do I join the housing queue? What are the interesting companies and job opportunities?? What forms does the tax authority need? What leisure activities are available?
We want to give all new Skövde residents a good start! As a new resident, there are many questions and we are here to guide you. Welcome House Skövde is the meeting place where you, as a new resident or curious about Skövde, get tips, guidance and valuable contacts to create your new life in Skövde.

It's so close to nature and activities that you can do more than you
think on your lunch break. You can easily take a mountain bike ride on
Billingen, a short shopping trip in the city center or a lap on the ski track during
winter time. Most things are within easy reach, making life a little easier.
As a family with children, it feels both safe and convenient with
walking distance to kindergartens, schools and sports facilities. More
time for family, leisure and simply doing what you love. That's how we
works in Skövde.
Now you can live in Skövde Science City and become a neighbor to a whole cluster of game development companies or Fintech companies. Here, sustainable housing is interspersed with exciting meeting places and business premises. Best location! Not least because you can walk to the city center, university, travel center and Science Park Skövde in just a few minutes.
Did you know that Skövde is one of the country’s biggest film and theatre centre’s outside of our major cities? The city offers you at least one cultural event every day, 365 days of the year.
Enjoy!
Love golf? Perfect, Skövde actually has three really great golf courses to choose from, with several other fine courses to visit in the surrounding area. And don’t be surprised if you meet elite players out on the course. They often play here.
In the city center there are charming shops, large shopping centers and many restaurants and cafes. For those who want to experience Skövde by night, there are of course bars and nightclubs.
Enjoy!
