Ammerud is a part of Grorud Borough in Oslo, Norway known for its large Le Corbusier style housing blocks.
To the north of the residential areas, bordering on the forest, lies Huken Quarry which also produces asphalt concrete.
The proximity to Lillomarka makes Ammerud a convenient departure point for trips in Marka, in particular to the tourist facility Lilloseter.
Breisjøen and Alnsjøen in Lillomarka bordering Ammerud supply drinking water for parts of Oslo.
A local bus line, 62, runs through Ammerudveien, from the metro station, to Huken and from there to Grorud Center.
