AVOID following area to live in OSLO until summer 14

dhi38

Incase you are moving to Oslo and are looking for a high quality residential area you might easily consider to live in VETTAKOLLEN. However, moving here before Summmer 2014 can end up in a nightmare, especially if you consider moving somewhere close to the Marka (Planetveien, Stjerneveien, Melkeveien, Huldreveien, Gullerasveien, etc). Up to Summer 2014 there is a MEGA construction going on UNDER Vettakollen for new drinking water supply (2 underground pools 100 m long, 25 feet wide and 13 m high!, tunnel of 1400m!, etc. Completely ridiculous is that the do work (drillings, blastings, etc)  for 24hrs a day!!! I have lived here only for a few months, had the worst night sleep in my entire life and problems to get out of the 1 yr binding contract. Now I managed and will move to another neighbourhood.
