It has been called "the green city district" due to its many recreational areas, among them Bulltofta field and Husie mosse and its proximity to the countryside.

Husie has the highest life expectancy rate in Malmö and one of the highest in Sweden. Husie is the home to two football clubs: Kvarnby IK and Husie IF.
