Two new residential developments of six semi-detached houses in Hafnarfjörður have been built and become fully operational in just under two years, at Arnarhraun 50 and Öldugata 45. At the end of May 2021, the first four residents moved into the new residential cluster at Öldugata, and a further two residents will move in during the autumn.
