Norrviken, Municipal district in Sollentuna Municipality, Sweden
Norrviken is a residential district in the northern part of Sollentuna Municipality, centered around a lake that defines its character. The area combines housing with green spaces and waterfront access, creating a suburban environment with strong connections to nature.
The district grew from a rural settlement into a suburban neighborhood following improvements in railway connections to Stockholm. Better transportation access transformed the area and enabled it to develop as a residential community.
The district's character is shaped by its relationship with the lake, where locals spend time outdoors and engage with the waterfront as part of daily life. The water and surrounding nature define how residents experience and use the space.
The area is well connected to central Stockholm through commuter trains and bus routes within the public transport network. Visitors will find good pathways to the lake and green spaces throughout the district.
The area developed as a commuter community that thrives during weekends when residents use the lake and surrounding nature for recreation. This weekend activity pattern gives the district a distinctive rhythm that differs from weekday quietness.
