Stay in Horten
Just a stone's throw away from everything.
Living in Horten means just about everything is right outside your door. Saving a few minutes here and there simply makes life easier.
Horten is a safe place to grow up
We have full kindergarten coverage and many of our schools and kindergartens are new. Our absolute pride is Horten Upper Secondary School – Norway's first plus house school.
In addition, young and old can enjoy a wide range of leisure activities, lovely beaches, ski trails, salt water, fresh water, forests and mountains.
Are you tempted by having your own garden?
In Horten you can fulfill your dream of an apple orchard and a detached house for the price you pay for a small apartment elsewhere.
Live in Horten – work somewhere else
What do you want?
Do you like living close to others or do you need some space around you? Is a detached house the top of your wish list or perhaps an apartment suits you better? Do you dream of a small farm where you can grow your own vegetables or is life in the city centre more your thing? Whatever you want, you’ll find it here in Horten.

Is there something in the water?
In Horten we’re a bunch of entrepreneurs. Maybe there’s something in the water here because we enjoy an entrepreneurial spirit of the highest order. You can see it on the arts and culture front too, with Horten superstars from Edvard Munch to Girl in red.
As for technology, we’re world leaders in many areas as well as the No. 1 technology location in Norway. The evidence clearly shows that Horten is full of people who are pioneers in their industry. And we are equally proud of them all.
