Avenue Deolinda Rodrigues runs along the southern border of Rangel and connects the Central Business District in Ingombota to the suburbs to the south and east of Luanda.

Avenue Hoji ya Henda divides Rangel between its northern and southern sections.

The southern section of Rangel is more formally built and is the home of several large sporting and medical institutions.

The northern part of Rangel consists of informally built neighborhoods known as Musseques, a large waste treatment plant and the Telecommunications Institute of Angola.

In recent years a number of high-rise residential, hotel and office buildings have been constructed in the Vila Alice neighborhood on the western edge of the district.
