Nilssonsberg, Residential district in Linné area, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Nilssonsberg is a residential neighborhood in the Linné area of Gothenburg made up of apartment buildings arranged around shared green courtyards and planted common areas. The structures have clean, functional design with ground-level shops and parks nearby that serve everyday needs.
The neighborhood was built in 1977 as a planned residential project reflecting how Scandinavia approached housing design in that era. The development was part of Gothenburg's efforts to create housing for its growing population during that decade.
The neighborhood developed as a residential area that reflects how Swedish families chose to live in the 1970s, with shared green spaces that remain central to how people use the district today. Walking through, you notice how the layout encourages neighbors to meet in courtyards and around the planted areas rather than on busy streets.
The area is easy to reach with several bus stops and tram stations within a short walk, offering direct routes to central Gothenburg. Ground-level shops and cafes in the buildings make it practical to handle daily errands without traveling far.
Many of the apartments include private garden plots or vegetable beds, a detail often overlooked but that shapes how residents use their living space daily. These green spaces remain visible year-round and reflect a Swedish habit of connecting home life to gardening.
