Grünerløkka

Grünerløkka ['grɒːnəˌɭœka] is a borough but also a neighborhood of the city of Oslo, Norway. Grünerløkka became part of the city of Oslo (then Christiania) in 1858. Grünerløkka was traditionally a working class district; since the late 20th century the area has increasingly undergone gentrification. Especially in the core neighborhood of Grünerløkka, property prices tend to be higher than what is typical of other Oslo East End boroughs.
