It was integrated in the Bucharest area in the early 1950s when construction of apartment blocks started on the right side of Bucureștii Noi boulevard, using typical Stalinist architecture.
The streets are in a grid layout, offering symmetrical surfaces of about 300 m2 (3,200 sq ft) for the construction of houses or small apartment blocks.
The neighborhood contains many penthouses and modern villas which serve a small community of families who own private courtyards.
The neighborhood is very popular because it has a good infrastructure, fully paved streets and a well-maintained sewage, water, gas and electricity systems, as well as parks, swimming pools, kindergartens, schools, markets, retail stores and soon also a big shopping mall.
The Bucureștii Noi train station serves the Căile Ferate Române Line 900, which connects Bucharest with the western city of Timișoara.
