[2][4] Bagarmossen is located southeast of central Stockholm, neighbouring the Skarpnäcks gård district to the south and west, Kärrtorp to the northwest, and the nature reserve Nackareservatet in Nacka Municipality to the east.

When line 17 was extended to Skarpnäck in 1994, this included a new underground station in Bagarmossen, replacing the old surface one.

[7] New apartment buildings were constructed near the metro station in the early 1990s, and in recent years, Bagarmossen has seen several new developments, mostly in the northwest.

When the area was first built in the 1950s, it received some international recognition because of the consistent separation of pedestrian and road traffic - leading to plenty of walking paths.

While the centre-right Alliance for Sweden earned a majority in Stockholm, they were behind the red-greens in both Bagarmossen and Skarpnäck borough.
