A natural gem on the southern slopes of Ásfjall
Ásland 4 is the newest development area in Hafnarfjörður. Ásland 4 is a residential district, a continuation of the neighbourhoods on either side, namely Ásland 3 and new residential districts in Skarðshlíð and Hamranes. Ásland 4 and Ásland 5 is currently the same area, with development being promoted under the name Ásland 4. The area is defined by Ásfjall, with Mógrafarhæð protruding into the area from the north, the residential area of Ásland 3 to the north-east, Ásvallabraut to the east and south, and new residential development in Skarðshlíð and Hamranes to the west.
Vacant plots in the second allocation of the Ásland 4 development.
Emphasis on low-profile detached houses
The main emphasis in Asland 4 is on low-density detached houses, bungalows, semi-detached and terraced houses. Emphasis is placed on the neighbourhood being interconnected by green spaces or tree belts. These belts will feature footpaths and numerous trees, providing shelter and a connection to nature. The planning and design of the neighbourhood place a strong emphasis on a holistic vision, sustainable development, a green aesthetic, and diverse outdoor spaces. The recreational areas at Hvaleyrarvatn are close by, as are the woodland plantations and diverse nature found throughout the town's uplands. One of the main objectives of the area's planning is to make good use of the unique southward views towards Helgafell and Lönguhlíðar.
