Welcome to Boxholm – where life is close

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

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

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

At the same time, the community pulses with a vibrant association life and people with strong drive. Here you will find a rich range of sports, culture, and voluntary initiatives that engage both young and old. Together, we are building a municipality where community, engagement, and hope for the future grow stronger every day.
