It refers to the Warsaw Escarpment, at which the neighbourhood was built, and Puławska Street, which forms one of its boundaries, and which was named after the town of Puławy, Poland.

[1] The neighborhood consists of eight 13-storey multifamily residential large panel system-buildings, and a technical and administrative building.

[11] The residential buildings were built in the large panel system technology of Warsaw Universal Form (Polish: Warszawska Uniwersalna Forma, WUF).

[2] They were based on the 10-storey large panel system-buildings, built previously between 1960 and 1965, in the nearby neighbourhood of Służewiec-Prototypy.

They were designed by Lucjan Adamczyk, Andrzej Bielobradek, Stanisław Dębiński, Władysław Sieradzki, Halina Skarżyńska, Tadeusz Stefański, Eleonora Stolarczyk, Zbigniew Pawłowski, and Jerzy Zoller, from Biuro Projektów Typowych (Standart Projects Bureau), and Studia Budownictwa Miejskiego (Urban Construction Studios).

[2] In the first years of its exploitation, the central heating installation of the neighbourhood, which consisted of a single pipe, turned out to be malfunctioning.
