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.
