Frequently asked questions

Questions about the district: what it is, what is being built and where to park. And about the directory: where its information comes from and how you take over your page.

What is Barkarbystaden?

A new district on the old Barkarby airfield in Järfälla, north-west of Stockholm. The first residents moved in in May 2014 and the build-out continues in phases – the metro's blue line gets a station here in December 2027. The directory gathers the district's businesses.

What is being built in Barkarbystaden right now?

The metro's blue line is being extended from Akalla to Barkarbystaden and Barkarby, opening in December 2027; the regional-train platforms and the new bus terminal at Barkarby station open in December 2026. At the metro entrance Åke Sundvall's blocks 7 and 9 with just over 500 homes start in 2026–2027, and the district's first upper-secondary school opens in autumn 2027.

Where do I find housing in Barkarbystaden?

New builds are sold by the developers themselves – the Housing page here lists the projects selling or coming, with developer, number of homes and occupancy, plus Mäklarstatistik's price per square metre for Järfälla. Individual listings are with the agents and the property portals, not here.

Where can I park?

Barkarbystaden is a no-parking zone where street parking costs 15 kronor an hour or 50 kronor a day (Järfälla municipality, paid at the meter or via EasyPark); residents park on their buildings' own land. The retail quarters have their own visitor parking: two hours free in Flottiljen's garage, three hours free at Barkarby Gate and Barkarby Handelsplats. Bas Barkarby at Bällstaågatan 18 has a public garage with 150 spaces. The Services page lists all the facilities.

What is on in the district?

Järfälla municipality's barkarby.se has the district's calendar and newsletter. This directory keeps to the businesses: opening hours, menus, lunch and offers.

What is this website?

A directory of restaurants, cafés and shops in Barkarbystaden in Järfälla, north-west of Stockholm, with opening hours, menus and current offers. The site is run by Eightyfive AB and the businesses keep their own details up to date.

Which area does the directory cover?

Barkarbystaden and its immediate surroundings: the blocks around Sveatorget, Safirtorget and Lansengatan, plus the Flottiljen and Barkarby Gate retail blocks. Barkarby handelsplats and the outlet are outside the directory’s scope.

Where does the information come from?
