Welcome to Boxholm – where life is close

In Boxholm municipality, you live with everything you need within reach. About 5,500 residents appreciate the proximity to both services and nature.

Imagine having shops, schools, preschools, a swimming hall, and commuter trains – all within just a few minutes' walk from the center. And when you want to swap small-town life for city pulse, you can easily reach Linköping by commuter train – in just 30 minutes.

Moreover, nature is literally at your doorstep – perfect for recovery, outdoor life, and quality of life in everyday life. In Boxholm, you get the best of both worlds: the calm, safe, and nature-close – with the opportunities of the city just a stone's throw away.

At the same time, the community pulses with a vibrant association life and people with strong motivations. There is a rich variety of sports, culture, and voluntary initiatives that engage both young and old. Together, we are building a municipality where community, engagement, and faith in the future grow stronger every day.
