Romsås

[1][2] Romsås is divided into six borettslag named after local geographical features: Orremyr, Emanuelfjell, Svarttjern, Røverkollen, Ravnkollen, and Tiurleiken.

There are also six kindergartens, two elementary schools, a middle school, an assisted living facility (Romsåslia), and a center (Romsås senter) with social housing, a retirement home, shops and services, and a swimming pool.

[3][1] With the exception of Romsåslia and the church, all buildings are located on the inside of a single road which starts at Grorud and loops back on itself in the shape of an elongated “q”.

It was built on the ruins of an earlier wooden structure which burned down in 1986, and was inaugurated in 1995.

As the site was formerly a landfill, the church has suffered significant subsidence damage since its construction.
