Grafarvogur

Grafarvogur is among the largest residential districts of Reykjavík, Iceland. It is a relatively new neighbourhood and is located on the eastern-most side of Reykjavík. Major construction began in the late 1980s and continued well into the 1990s.

Neighbourhoods

The district includes 15 neighbourhoods: Hamrar, Foldir, Hús, Rimar, Borgir, Víkur, Engi, Spöng, Staðir, Höfðar, Bryggjuhverfi, Geirsnef, Gufunes, keldur, and Geldinganes. Of those, five fall within the boundaries of the historic Gufunes estate.

Shopping

Grafarvogur currently has one medium-sized shopping centre called Spöngin. It's not a mall in itself but a cluster of shops, Hagkaup being the largest. Also, there are small clusters of shops in Hverafold, in Víkurvegur and Langirimi Streets. These shopping centres are much smaller and contain only a few shops, the supermarkets being the largest.
