The 1970s marked further development in the area of Bischofslinde, leading to a new center being established, incorporating the catholic church of St. Albert and the Anne-Frank school.

Small gardens can be found to the south of the district, the aforementioned Seepark lies to the northwest, where the Hallenbad West also marks Freiburgs largest swimming pool.

The district is home to student settlements, the largest being the Studentensiedlung (StuSie) and the Ulrich-Zasius-Haus, both belonging to the Studentenwerk Freiburg.

The main form of public transport in Betzenhausen are trams of the Stadtbahnlinie 1 and Linie 3, the latter only running to the east tip of the district.

Through its location at the edge of the western Ringroad of Freiburg as well as a feeder road, Betzenhausen can be accessed via two motorways.
