Categories / City Topography/Historical Geography/Residential Areas
DOLGOE LAKE, one of the largest residential areas. Located in the North-West of St. Petersburg, it neighbours Kolomyagi in the east, Commandant's Aerodrome in the southeast and Yuntolovo Forest Estate in the west. The name is derived from Lake Dolgoe. Beginning with the second half of the 1980s, the territory was built up with typical panel apartment buildings with improved layout design. On the whole the planning structure and development took shape by the early 1990s, yet some of the free spots were continued being built up until the early 2000s. The multi-storey residential building is the dominating building style. In the early 2000s a number of large entertainment and trade centres were built. A new metro station Komendantsky Prospekt has been recently completed and is located on Komendantskaya Square - the district's planning centre. Aviakonstruktorov Avenue, Komendantsky Avenue, Koroleva Avenue, Dolgoozernaya Street are the major thruways.
