There is also an industrial area on the other side of the highway (E14) called Verksmon. just south of Fjällmon lies Torvalla by (Torvalla village) which also counts to the district. Torvalla is a relatively young district that began to develop under the Million Programme, however, there were inhabitants in the area before it became a district of Östersund. There are currently four schools in Torvalla:

* Class 1-5: Fjällängsskolan, Mimergården and Ångsmogården (One in each sub-district)
