Herrängen

Herrängen, Residential district in Hägersten-Älvsjö, Stockholm, Sweden.

Description

Herrängen is a residential quarter in southwestern Stockholm that blends single-family homes with apartment buildings. These structures sit among green spaces that break up the layout and create an open residential feel.

History

Development began in 1901 when industrial owner J.E. Lignell bought the estate and started building the neighborhood. Those early private efforts established the foundation for what became a residential community.

Culture

The neighborhood keeps its character as a residential area with different types of housing where diverse groups have settled. The district is shaped by its relaxed layout and green spaces that define daily life here.

Practical

The neighborhood connects to central Stockholm through metro and bus services, making it easy to reach the city center. The green areas throughout the district offer pleasant spaces for walking and spending time outdoors.

Did you know?

During the 1940s and 1950s, residents built their own homes using materials and instructions provided by Stockholm. This unusual model of self-help construction shaped how the neighborhood developed and made it a distinctive housing project.
