Torstenssonsgatan

Torstenssonsgatan is a residential street of Östermalm, 200 metres long from Strandvägen to Storgatan. Its houses went up between 1889 and 1970. Here is every house on it – when it was built, who drew it and who owns it today – and what this corner of Östermalm is like to live in.

How the score is counted

Each part is a rank among all of Stockholms stad's streets; the parts are weighted and the total ranked again – the same measure for every street, so any two can be compared and shared. It is VERA PI's own ranking, not a price and not a valuation.

VERA PI

Sun

The median of the street's 19 residential buildings gets 3.4 hours of direct sun on a clear day on 21 March, on its sunniest facade – Stockholm's median is 7.8 hours.

The north-west side, whose facades face south-east, gets the most sun: 3.4 hours on 21 March in the median, against 2.4 hours on the south-east side.

The sun in ÖstermalmThe sunniest homes in Stockholm

How VERA PI measures the sun

Solläge is the number of hours of direct sun on a clear day on 21 March on a building's sunniest facade – at least 8 metres long – at its middle floor. Winter is the same on 21 December; on 21 September the trees count, in leaf. Neighbouring buildings, the terrain and the trees cast the shade. Medians are of the residential buildings; the lists name apartment buildings only – houses and terraced houses count in the medians but are never shown one by one.

The sun's path: NOAA's solar calculation. The buildings' heights: Stockholms stad's 3D buildings (the city planning office, SBK) – only derived values are shown, hours and rounded heights. Streets, addresses and trees: © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0. Calculated 21 October 2026.

The associations behind the doors

Of the 13 houses on Torstenssonsgatan with an address, 9 are owned by housing associations (bostadsrättsföreningar), matched in Bolagsverket's register of 19 October 2026. For 1 of them the association's own annual report for 2025 gives the figures a buyer reads next to the asking price: an annual fee of 523 kr per m² a year, and debt of 1,819 kr per m². For 4 houses no association was found: the sources do not say who owns them.

Prices and rents

Eight homes in ten here are bostadsrätter – you buy a share in the association that owns the building, and pay it a monthly fee. The rest are rented, through the city's queue or second hand.

Asking prices in Östermalm now

160,563 kr per m² is the median asking price across the 40 bostadsrätter for sale in Östermalm with a price and a size; half ask between 144,811 and 184,721 kr. The median flat asks SEK 15.4m, with a monthly fee of 4,317 kr. VERA PI's read of the estate agencies' own adverts, 20 October 2026 – asking prices, not sales; no single-street figure until the street has adverts of its own.

What isn't public. Sweden has no open register of what bostadsrätter sell for, so no sale price is shown for a single address. A national register of bostadsrätter is coming – Lantmäteriet starts collecting from the associations in 2027 – but it records the flat, its holder and any pledges, not what it sold for. Asking prices come from the agencies' own adverts and are shown as asking prices, never as sales.

Brå: reported crime is not all crime – not every crime comes to the police's attention. Local figures go by where the crime happened and are set against the people who live there. Our note: a district full of theatres, restaurants, shops and stations can therefore show a high rate against few residents. In 2025, 12 % of reports in the Stockholm police region had no recorded municipality. Sources: Brå, reported offences; Stockholms stad, Trygghetsmätning 2026 (source).

Who lives here
