Grorud Valley

The main population centers are on the valley sides, close to the forest of Lillomarka and Østmarka.

Thanks to large scale urbanization throughout the valley in the 1960s and 1970s, it was transformed from agricultural to suburbian landscape.

Generally the neighborhoods are well maintained and there are recreational facilities and open spaces in the Grorud Valley.

The central valley is served by Norwegian Route 163 (Østre Aker vei) as well as Hovedbanen rail line.

The north side is served by Norwegian Route 4 (Trondheimsveien) and the subway line Grorudbanen.
