Previously, it was a dacha village (summer colony) in a pine grove which was included in the Kyiv city council area in 1919.

The neighborhood is located in the North-East of the Dnieper Upland, in the western part of Kyiv.

The suburb is situated on both sides of Kyiv's Prospect Beresteiskyi. The neighborhood borders the Nyvka River in the west. Sviatoshyn Forest Park [uk] begins on the opposite side of the river.
