Gamla Enskede
District
Gamla Enskede was created in 1904 to provide housing for workers, and is 2.94 square kilometres (1.14 sq mi). The architectural type known as "the Enskede villa," with pointed roofs on wooden houses, originated in Gamla Enskede. The streets are built to look like a "typical English" garden city, therefore not one street is completely straight but instead the streets are crooked and bent. As of 31 December 2003, the district's population was 10,064, with a population density of 3,423.13 people per square kilometre. There are two Stockholm Metro stations: Sandsborg and Skogskyrkogården, since 1950. Previously the area was served by two suburban tramway routes.
