It is located in Barangay Ramon Magsaysay (Bago Bantay), Quezon City and its neighbors, Project 7 (Veterans Village and Bungad) and Project 8 (Bahay Toro, Sangandaan, Baesa). It links to Congressional Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue. The station is named after Roosevelt Avenue, which was constructed and named in honor of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

On August 7, 2020, it was announced that Roosevelt station would be temporarily closed from September 5 to December 28. As part of the construction of the North Avenue Grand Central Station (commonly known as the Common Station), the tracks extending eastward from Roosevelt station have to be realigned in order to provide the necessary connection to the Common Station. Hence, during this temporary closure, Balintawak station would once again serve as the northern terminus of the line.[1][2]
