Living here
Grimstorp is a town in Nässjö municipality in Småland, with just under 350 inhabitants. Grimstorp is the highest-lying station locality on Södra stambanan, high above sea level.
The railway is a couple of minutes' walk from most houses. The lake Lillesjön is also close and Storesjön is within walking distance but not close, and a bathing spot is within walking distance but not close. Forest and farmland are close. From the middle of the town it is close to a school, but for most households the food shop and school are several kilometres away, so a car is needed. In the town there are the preschool Hattstuga and a playground. Industry is five kilometres away.
The area is noisier than the country on average, and several registered soil contamination sites are found in the town.
To Nässjö it takes a quarter of an hour by car, to Göteborg about two and a half hours and to Stockholm four and a half. Bodafors is five kilometres away. The surrounding area has an older population than the country, with a little over a quarter over sixty-five. Association life includes a sports and community association and Grimstorpavikens Samfällighet.
Grimstorp suits someone who wants to live quietly by a couple of lakes on Södra stambanan and drives. Anyone who wants a shop and school within walking distance should look elsewhere.
