About the place

Living here

Eskilsby och Snugga is a town with just under three hundred residents in Härryda municipality in Västergötland. The town is spread out and has almost no services of its own. What there is, is Sammels Gårdscafé a bike ride or drive away and Stjärnåsen Skyttecenter within walking distance but not close.

Everyday life requires a car. Most people have a car to grocery shop, school and railway station alike. The forest is right next to the house, the farmland a couple of minutes' walk away. Västra Ingsjön, a large lake, is a couple of minutes' walk away, and a swimming spot a bike ride or drive away. Three contaminated sites are registered in the town, the nearest a couple of minutes' walk from the centre.

The nearest neighbouring towns are small: Askedalen, Inseros and Bertshult each have fewer than two hundred residents. To the municipality's main town it is fifteen minutes by car, to Gothenburg half an hour, to Malmö three and a half hours and to Stockholm just under six.

The area around the town has an even age distribution: a little over one in five is under twenty, and about one in five is over sixty-five.

Eskilsby och Snugga suits someone who wants forest and lake close by, has a car and commutes towards Gothenburg. Anyone who wants a shop, school or train within walking distance is in the wrong place.
