Sala backeRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"The Grid"
With a median price of €17.2/m², Sala backe isn't the steal it used to be, firmly landing it in THE_GRID rating. The high-end €23.4/m² figures usually reflect the newer developments popping up on the fringes, which skew the neighborhood analysis for those looking at the older, unrenovated stock. It’s a solid investment outlook for stability, but don't expect a sudden surge in cultural cool factor to justify these climbing prices.
The Vibe:Dominated by 1950s functionalist brick blocks and wide-open green spaces, this area feels spread out rather than cramped. You’ll see plenty of bikes heading down the Hjalmar Brantingsgatan corridor and locals congregating near the distinctive Brantingsskolan water tower. It’s a functional zone for people who prefer having a lawn between buildings over being stacked on top of a bar.

Locals Ask
Is parking actually available in Sala backe?
It is significantly easier than in Fålhagen, though street spots still disappear fast once the workday ends.
What is the long-term investment outlook for renters here?
Expect steady, boring growth; the area is being squeezed by high-end new builds which keeps the floor on prices high.
How long is the commute to Uppsala Central Station?
It is a solid 10-minute bike ride or a 25-minute walk; don't let a landlord tell you it is 'right next door'.
Why is there such a wide gap in the m² stats?
The €12.8/m² low end represents older, original-state rentals, while the €23.4/m² peak is for new builds near Källparken.
Are there any decent places to eat locally?
You are mostly looking at standard pizza shops and local grills; for anything serious, you are heading to the city center or Gränbystaden.
