With over 1,300 students across its three campuses, Bascharage, Ettelbruck, and Rollingergrund, the institution plays a pivotal role in health education.

While universities aren't within the neighborhood, residents benefit from the proximity of a University of Luxembourg campus in the neighboring district of Limpertsberg, further expanding educational opportunities for those in Rollingergrund / Belair-Nord.

Rollingergrund's cultural offerings are modest, centered around the notable Rollingergrund Cultural Center Jean-François Boch. This public events space hosts various activities regularly. However, for a more expansive array of cultural events and facilities, residents often venture to neighboring districts, where a broader cultural scene awaits.

Rollingergrund is fortunate to host the primary healthcare facility of the capital, the Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg (CHL).

Rollingergrund boasts numerous sports facilities, many clustered around the Josy Barthel Stadium. Adjacent to the stadium, tennis courts are serving as the headquarters for the Tennis Club Stade, offering various tennis courses. Close by, a multipurpose sports hall provides additional opportunities for diverse athletic activities. Although the Josy Barthel Stadium, once the national stadium, is located in the neighborhood, it has been replaced by a newer, more modern facility. It is planned to demolish the current stadium and use the land for housing.

Beyond the stadium vicinity, the neighborhood features a gymnastics hall within the primary school premises. However, access to this facility is restricted to official schools and clubs in the city.

Primarily residential, Rollingergrund / Belair-Nord features a limited but varied range of shops and restaurants.
