[5] Westernmost section of Konjarnik, located in the municipality of Voždovac, between the streets of Ustanička on the north, Belgrade-Niš highway on the south and Vojislava Ilića on the east.

It extends into the neighborhood of Dušanovac on the west and borders Šumice park on the north and Marinkova Bara on the south, across the highway.

One of the major centers of Belgrade police, in Ljermontova street, is located in the neighborhood, and so is a new residential-commercial complex of KoŠum and a residential building Testera (Serbian for saw), because of its zig-zag construction.

Apart from many large residential buildings, it has an industrial zone, along the Vojislava Ilića and Mis Irbijeve streets (factories of "Precizna mehanika", "Bukulja", "Metal") and a developing commercial zones along the roundabout of the "Lasta" bus lines on the crossroads of the Ustanička and Vojislava Ilića streets.

Učiteljsko Naselje (Учитељско насеље; "teachers' settlement") is located in the central part of Konjarnik II, centered on the Učiteljska street and the roundabout of the trolleybus line 21, just east of the industrial zone.
