Ängsbruksgatan 3: landlord, rents and how to get a flat
For robots
Ängsbruksgatan 3 is a rental building in Norra Djurgårdsstaden in Stockholm, and the landlord is the municipal housing company Stockholmshem. The flats are let on first-hand contracts through Bostadsförmedlingen i Stockholm, the city's housing queue, so if you want to live at Ängsbruksgatan 3 it is your queue time that counts, not an application sent straight to the landlord.
Where is Ängsbruksgatan 3?
Ängsbruksgatan is in the Gasverket area of the Hjorthagen district, part of the Norra innerstaden borough. The postcode is 115 46. Listings often give the address as Östermalm, since the area lies in the north-east of the inner city.
The blocks around the street are part of Norra Djurgårdsstaden, one of Stockholm's largest urban development projects, built on former port and industrial land at Värtahamnen and the old Värta gasworks. According to Wikipedia, around 12,000 homes and 35,000 workplaces are planned in the area, with construction expected to continue at least until 2030. From the buildings you can see the red-brick gasholders that architect Ferdinand Boberg designed for the gasworks. The nearest major transport hub is Ropsten, with the red metro line and the Lidingö line.
Who is the landlord at Ängsbruksgatan 3?
The landlord is AB Stockholmshem, a public housing company owned by the City of Stockholm and founded in 1937. According to the listings, the building was completed in 2015. Stockholmshem does not let its vacant flats itself; all external letting is handled by Bostadsförmedlingen i Stockholm, which also lets the flats of Svenska Bostäder and Familjebostäder.
In practice this means:
- You need to be registered in Bostadsförmedlingen's queue.
- You register interest in a specific flat when it is advertised.
- Bostadsförmedlingen sends tenant proposals to the landlord in order of queue time. The person with the longest queue time who meets the landlord's requirements gets the offer.
Rents at Ängsbruksgatan 3
Two flats at the address give an idea of the level. The two-room flat was let through Bostadsförmedlingen in September 2026; for the three-room flat the rent is known but not the date it was let.
| Flat | Size | Rent per month | Let |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 rooms and kitchen | 54 m² | SEK 14,007 | 7 September 2026 |
| 3 rooms and kitchen | 85 m² | SEK 19,099 | – |
That is roughly SEK 3,100 and SEK 2,700 per square metre per year. The rent in the building was set in a negotiated agreement under chapter 12, section 55 c of the Land Code (jordabalken), a so-called presumption rent. Such a rent is to be considered reasonable if challenged, unless there are exceptional reasons against it, and it can later be adjusted in line with general rent development in the area. So you cannot count on getting the rent lowered by the rent tribunal just because it seems high compared with older buildings.
What comes on top of the rent?
The listings for Ängsbruksgatan 3 mention several costs not included in the monthly rent:
- Household electricity you pay yourself.
- Hot water is metered per flat, so you pay for what you use.
- Detergent in the shared laundry room is charged by consumption.
- Optional flat maintenance (VLU): Stockholmshem uses a system where you can opt into renovations for a rent supplement. Read the terms before choosing anything. Under section 55 d of the Land Code, a rent supplement for an add-on agreed in a separate signed document can be accepted in a rent review for up to ten years.
- Broadband is installed and used for TV, phone and internet. There are no separate cable-TV or phone-line sockets.
Requirements for getting a contract
Besides queue time you must meet the landlord's requirements. The listings at Ängsbruksgatan 3 mention two things to expect:
- You may need to show home insurance for the new home when signing the contract.
- If you work outside the Stockholm area, you need to show that your workplace is within commuting distance.
Always check the requirements in the current listing, as they can differ between flats. If you have questions about your rights as a tenant, Hyresgästföreningen (the Swedish Union of Tenants) can help.
