Finntorp, Residential district in Nacka, Sweden

Finntorp is a district in Nacka municipality, Stockholm County, bordering Alphyddan and Sickla to the west and southwest, the Nacka gymnasium school and sports area to the east, Värmdöleden to the north and Värmdövägen and the Saltsjöbanan railway to the south. Its buildings mix villas, terraced houses and high-rise apartments, and Nacka Church stands in the southern part.

The neighborhood developed in the mid-20th century as Nacka expanded its residential and commercial areas. This period shaped the mixed-use character that defines the district today.

The name comes from the Finntorp croft, which in the late 19th century belonged to Stora Sickla farm and was called Sjöstugan. It was renamed after a Finnish tenant farmer took over the holding. Nacka Church stands in the southern part of the area, and the Svindersberg nature area lies to the west.

The area is easy to navigate and offers various services in one location, including restaurants and shops. Visitors should note that multiple providers operate in the district, each with different schedules, so planning ahead helps.

The name comes from a croft called Sjöstugan that belonged to Stora Sickla farm in the late 19th century. Its owner Matts Mattsson was followed by a Finnish tenant farmer, and the croft was renamed Finntorp after him. The area counted 2,262 residents in 2005.
