Vattubrinken

Vattubrinken is a built-up area in Södertälje municipality, on Enhörnalandet north of Södertälje, with just over 400 inhabitants. It takes a quarter of an hour by car to Södertälje and three quarters of an hour to Stockholm.

The area is sparsely built, with large plots of almost 2,000 square metres, and forest lies right next to most of the houses. Water is a couple of minutes' walk away, and the lake Lersjön and Mälaren are a bike ride or drive away. A grocery shop and a school are far from most homes, three and just under two kilometres away respectively, so daily life requires a car or a bike. The railway station is over six kilometres away. In the area there are two playgrounds, five parks, among them Talbyskogen and Korpbergets naturreservat, Södertälje naturskola and three viewpoints. Nature is what is nearby.

The neighbouring town of Södertälje, with almost 80,000 inhabitants, is about two kilometres away, and Viksäter and Viksberg are within walking distance but not close. The surrounding area has an even age distribution: almost a third are between twenty and forty-four, and just under a quarter are under twenty. Vattubrinken suits anyone who wants to live in the forest near Södertälje and Stockholm and has a car, and suits less well anyone who wants a shop and a school within walking distance.
