Global Street Style Report: Mapping Out the 15 Coolest Neighborhoods in the World. 3/15 SÖDERMALM / STOCKHOLM / SWEDEN
In this day and age, “Cool” and “Stockholm” are essentially synonymous. Think: Acne Studios, long-lit summer nights, minimalistic armchairs. Imagine, then, how hip its coolest neighborhood must be. Enter Södermalm, an island just to the south of the city’s center, where one can find top-notch vintage boutiques like Grandpa (which also sells Swedish labels including Rodebjer and Dagmar) to a comprehensive 'zine shop, cheekily named Papercut. Young parents: be sure to stop by the buzzy Mini Rodini outpost on Nytorgsgatan, famed for its funky children’s wear.
For the second year in a row, the municipality of Danderyd outside of Stockholm has been voted the best place in Sweden to live, according to a magazine’s annual ranking.
Danderyd has some of the lowest municipal income taxes I think, at around 29% of the monthly income. (Varies up to 34% I think around the country)
It's full of nicer upper class neighborhoods, very safe, very politically homogenous (center-right by Swedish standards), better than average schools etc.
It's also not adjacent to any real problem area, with some water-separation so there is little "overspill" of crime from any surroundings.
(Compared to Solnawhich is much to closer to Kista, Husby, Rissne, Rinkeby etc the infamous bombing/carfire and raping grounds, though by itself, Solna is quite nice).
I would say Danderyd is the kind of place you'd want if you have a family that you want to be safe, but you don't mind commuting in towards the city center about 20 minutes for work.
When people are depicted as "posh" in Sweden in media, either Danderyd or neighboring Lidingö is usually where they are from.
If you have a boat, this is probably a preferable place as well.
Södermalm is the home of about 30% of the countrys total population of journalists, More than 1 in every hundred people who live here is a journalist (That is a real fact, 10.4/1000 inhabitants).
Politically it's known for hard-left leanings, very high "green" vote, open borders, all that fun AOC stuff for the upper-class leftie who likes to pretend (s)he is hip blue-collar worker while making 3 times as much and drinking vegan lattes with space flight capabilities for $9 each every morning....(yes I am exaggerating slightly here, they're probably just $8)
I would say Södermalm is much friendlier if you don't have a car compared to Danderyd.
So depending on what you value you'd chose by that. It's probably quit obvious that I loathe a lot of what Södermalm is known for, so have my bias in mind, but I think they're two very different types of neighborhood, and hard to compare because if you value certain things in one of them, the other is probably not at all interesting for you anyway.
I would say younger people who can't afford paying hundreds of thousands $US for a tiny flat on Södermalm have the most to gain from living there (city-life, hippie places, appartment parties etc), but settled people who could afford to do so are probably better off in Danderyd (elementary schools, safety, order, homogeneity, nice quiet life).
Depends, if you are liberal left aka funny hair colors, open borders & gay sex is a virtue, then södermalm.
If it's liberal right like freedom to move around and feel safe, mind your own business, nobody minding you owning a few rifles for hunting etc, then Danderyd.
I should probably mention that "left" and "right" here is a relative scale... that probably fits between Bernie Sanders and AOC for the most part...

Depends on what you mean. If it's people keeping boats and other luxurious stuff it's Danderyd, if it's public stuff like buses, subway, and access to malls, services etc it's Södermalm.
