Ullern
Space without isolation — if your budget can handle west Oslo prices
Ullern combines substantial family housing and green residential environments with genuinely strong public transport. But it contains sharply different residential products, from dense, changing and highly connected Skøyen to quieter, lower-density areas farther west and uphill.
The quick answer
Why live here — and what's the catch?
You get
- +Strong public transport
- +Substantial family housing
- +More residential space
- +Strong nature access
- +Ownership-oriented housing
You give up
- −High purchase cost
- −Uneven walkability and urbanity
- −Traffic and noise exposure near major corridors
- −Major construction and change around Skøyen
Best for
Best suited to higher-budget families, established buyers, western Oslo and Fornebu commuters, and households wanting more space without abandoning strong public transport.
Think twice if…
Less suitable for budget-first buyers, nightlife-focused households and many students or younger renters seeking inexpensive central-city living.

Getting around
Commute & transport
Transport is one of Ullern's strongest advantages. Skøyen provides exceptional rail connectivity, while metro, tram and bus corridors give other parts of the borough viable alternatives. Transport quality nevertheless varies substantially by subarea.

In depth
Editorial deep-dives
Buying in Ullern requires substantial capital. The 2025 block-apartment average was NOK 103,200 per m², only modestly above the comparable Oslo average, but Ullern's median total transaction price was NOK 8.687 million. The difference reflects its dwelling mix and larger housing products and is why price per square metre and total transaction price must remain separate.
Ullern has a smaller renter presence than Oslo overall. Available evidence indicates a high-cost rental environment, but SearchNova does not publish a canonical Ullern rent because no sufficiently precise contracted-rent series matching the current administrative borough was identified.
Ullern is one of Oslo's stronger family propositions for households that can afford it, combining substantial family housing, comparatively generous residential space, nature access and strong transport.
Connectivity is excellent, but high prices, limited nightlife and an ownership-oriented housing structure make Ullern less naturally suited to students and budget-focused younger households.
Ullern is more polished residential west Oslo than inner-city urbanism. Skøyen supplies commercial intensity and major transport access, while much of the rest of the borough offers space, greenery and residential calm.
SearchNova verdict
Ullern is one of Oslo's strongest space-without-isolation propositions, but affordability is the gatekeeper and choosing the right part of Ullern matters almost as much as choosing the borough itself.
