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, planned for December 2027, but since Region Stockholm's review in September 2026 expected in the fourth quarter of 2028. 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, with the opening planned for December 2027, but since Region Stockholm's review in September 2026 expected in the fourth quarter of 2028 – no new timetable has been decided. The regional-train platforms and the new bus terminal at Barkarby station are planned to open in December 2026, and SJ regional trains will stop at Barkarby from 13 December. At the metro entrance Åke Sundvall has broken ground on block 9 and plans to start block 7 in 2027, just over 500 homes between them, and the district's first lower-secondary school opens in the autumn term of 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's on in Barkarbystaden?

In Bas Barkarby, by Veddestabron, the municipal library runs book clubs, crafts, talks and author visits, and Bas konsthall shows exhibitions with free entry. The dates are on the events page as the organisers give them, and the calendar for all of Järfälla is at upplevjarfalla.se. The municipality's barkarby.se carries news and a newsletter about the district.
