Since the community was founded in 1889, Djursholm has largely been characterized by villa buildings on large plots of land. However, over the years, the older houses have been supplemented with both more modern villas and city center buildings as well as smaller areas with apartment buildings. Several areas in the community consist of buildings typical of their time, characterised by styles such as romantic nationalism, neoclassicism and functionalism.
Djursholm, with approximately 9,300 inhabitants, is considered an exclusive residential area, with some of the country's most expensive addresses, and has been the residence of several notable representatives of Swedish finance and business, academia and cultural life.
