Just south of the center of Boden is Sanden, an area characterized by single-family housing with both villas, rental and cooperative apartments. The area is also home to a variety of businesses, such as a racecourse with stables, supermarkets, a fish shop with its own smokehouse, schools, a sports hall and a water park. The municipality’s police and courthouse are also located here. Residents in Sanden are close to the city’s commercial, cultural, leisure and entertainment facilities. Good bus connections make it easy to travel both within the municipality and to commute to other places. The area has preschool and primary school up to grade 9 and a health center. Qualities that residents like to emphasize about Sanden are the combination of central location and tranquility. It is also close to recreational areas. “I put my skis on at home!”

About the area

In the 19th century, the Sanden consisted of farmland and forest. At the end of the 19th century, the Malmbanan and Stambanan were built in the area. Around the turn of the century 1900, in connection with the construction of Boden’s garrison, a brickworks was built next to the ore railway. The mill operated until the late 1930s. It is from this time, with the city plan adopted in 1932, that Sanden began to be built with small houses, detached houses and small apartment buildings. There are several culturally and historically important buildings in the area, such as Tingshuset, Tallboskolan, Sandenskolan and Druidgården. Bodentravet, built in 1944, is one of the country’s oldest racetracks and has been an important meeting place since its establishment.
