> all these people want to have a cheap apartment in the same 10 km^2 that's designated as the cool place.

Which, incidentally, is cool because not everyone's living there ;) Don't know about Stockholm, but I guess those places are the same 19th/early 20th century quarters like in every other European city build for renting out to an upward moving middle class and popular exactly because they're meeting the representative needs of their tenants then and now.

There's nothing special about the buildings - the same kind exist all over the country in large numbers.

It's not about the buildings themselves, it's about the neighborhood. As always in real estate it's location, location, location.
