The territory was mainly built up with standard many-storey blocks of panel construction flats in 1979-86 (in the 2000s, residential development continued). The population is over 180,000 people (2002). The main thoroughfares are Kosygina Avenue, Nastavnikov Avenue and Industrialny Avenue. In the east, it adjoins Rzhevsky Forest Park.
