Carlshem is a residential area in southeastern Umeå, Sweden, located about 5 kilometers from central Umeå. Most of the area were built in the 1970s.[1]

The area consists of both townhouses, villas and apartment buildings with two or three storeys. There are both regular rental apartments and student flats. The area also includes a hair salon and a restaurant.

There is a church in the area, Carlskyrkan, which opened in 1984.[2] A hotel and spa is planned to be built in the area.[3]

History

[edit]

The names Carlshem, Carlslid, and Carlshöjd originate from the inn Carlslund, which at the end of the 18th century was located where Älvans väg in Tomtebo exists today.
