Heggedal has a post office at the local chain store, Kiwi, and its postal code is 1389.

There is also a local library, which was considered shut down in 2002, but a demonstration was staged to prevent this, to which 500 people attended - on the same day that the local newspaper, Asker og Bærums Budstikke, printed that a solution had been found.

The local school, Heggedal barneskole, was built in 1906, and expanded several times, most recently in 1960.

The men's association football team used to have a cooperation with the nearby Vollen UL, and played on the sixth level of the pyramid, but this stopped after the 2003 season.

In the 1960s, Nordic combined world champion Arne Larsen represented Heggedal IL.
