The area is characterized by a mix of residential housing and some agricultural land. Historically, it has been a rural area that has seen increasing development as part of the suburban expansion around Oslo.

The name "Görðum" likely derives from Old Norse, possibly related to words for "enclosure" or "farm." Like many Norwegian place names, it reflects the historical agricultural landscape of the region. The settlement's development has been influenced by its proximity to Oslo and the subsequent growth of the surrounding commuter towns. Infrastructure in Görðum includes local roads connecting it to the broader transportation network of Nordre Follo. Public transport services, typically bus routes, serve the residents, facilitating access to larger centers like Ski.

The surrounding landscape offers opportunities for outdoor activities, with forests and open areas present in the vicinity. While Görðum itself is primarily residential, it benefits from the amenities and services available in the nearby urban center of Ski, which includes shops, schools, and cultural facilities. The area continues to be a residential community within the expanding Viken region.
