Snösätra, located between Rågsveds friområde, Rågsveds centrum, and sjön Magelungen in Enskede-Årsta-Vantör, was previously farmland for Snösätra torp. By 2004, a decision was made to phase out the area as it was considered rowdy and poorly placed in a nature area. Today, Snösätra is primarily owned by Stockholm city and is predominantly occupied by construction and recycling businesses.
However, in 2014, Snösätra underwent a radical transformation, reimagined as a center for gatukonst and graffiti. It features large paintings on walls and facades created with the owners' permission. Among the artists who have contributed paintings to the area is Daniel Blomqvist, also known as Puppet.
Plans are currently in the works to build housing on the current Snösätra storage area. The planning process is in its early stages with site designations to build about 40 apartments in the form of row houses and terraced houses.
