It is bordered to the east by the sound Øresund and to the South by Copenhagen and counted among the most wealthy areas in Denmark. It was Counselor Johan David Heller who came to put his name on the area when in 1748 he bought the farm like Lokkerup and rechristened it Hellerup Farm and parceled it out into 38 hectares. Today only Øregård remains similar to the original farms, but several of their names live on in street names.
