Skogås, Municipal district in Huddinge Municipality, Sweden.
Skogås is a municipal district in Huddinge Municipality positioned south of Stockholm, stretching along the rail corridor that connects toward Nynäshamn harbor. The area sits near lakes Drevviken and Magelungen and contains residential neighborhoods alongside schools, shops, and community facilities.
Beginning as a summer cottage retreat outside Stockholm, the area transformed into an urban center starting in the 1960s. This shift was driven by retail construction and later major residential housing developments that reshaped the landscape.
Mariakyrkan church anchors community life here and serves as a meeting place for residents to gather for religious services and social events. This congregation site shapes the rhythm of local activities throughout the year.
The commuter rail line 43 provides regular service connecting the area to central Stockholm, while Swedish national road 73 offers direct access to Nynäshamn and surrounding regions. The transportation options make it easy to visit surrounding areas or reach the city center.
The eastern section contains Sweden's largest row house development from the 1980s, which brought substantial population growth to the area. This large-scale residential project remains a defining feature of the neighborhood and reflects how Stockholm's suburbs expanded during that decade.
