The current buildings in Flemingsberg (also called "Flempan" for short) were built during the Million Programme and for a long time there was trouble renting out all the apartments and the area become known as a very bad suburb.^{[citation needed]} The two halves were renamed Visättra and Grantorp as the name Flemingsberg gave bad associations. Today the name Flemingsberg is again used for the area and the railway station.

One notable building is the Flemingsberg Church.
