Located largely on the side of a hill named Furča, the vast majority of the Dargovských hrdinov borough consists of housing, built mainly in the form of panelhouses. There are little to no industrial structures or activities in the borough, which is one of the largest residential developments built in Slovakia during the Communist era.
