Hjuvik consists mainly of villas, and the area is seen as exclusive due to its scenic location. From the hilltops one has a view of the North Sea. The ferry terminal to the Öckerö islands, located on Lilla Varholmen, is connected to Hjuvik via an embankment/road. The eastern parts of Hjuvik are dominated by an ex-military area now owned by Myrsjöhus construction and development company. The Torslanda Battery used to be stationed in the military area with a measuring station and two 24mm canons in armoured towers.
