Living here
Sanda is a built-up area in Strängnäs municipality in Södermanland, with just over 300 inhabitants. The town is spread out and the plots are large. Strängnäs is a quarter of an hour away by car, Stockholm an hour and a quarter and Göteborg five and a half hours.
Everyday life is built on a car. School, church, restaurant, café and petrol station are all at a bike or car distance or further away, and so are the railway station and the swimming pool. There are three playgrounds within cycling distance. Mälaren is some way off by car. The nearest neighbouring towns are Björktorp, Brunnsåker and Vansö. Abborrberget, with just over three thousand inhabitants, and Strängnäs, with just over fifteen thousand, are both at a bike or car distance.
The area around the town is older than the country as a whole: almost one in three inhabitants is over sixty-five and just over one in five is under twenty.
Sanda suits someone who wants to live outside the town with a big plot, near Strängnäs but with a car for every errand. Someone who wants to be able to walk to a school, a shop or a train will have to look elsewhere.
