Located on the Saltovskaya Upland (the southernmost edge of the Central Russian Upland) in the interfluve between the floodplains of Kharkov and Nemyshl. It is bordered by the floodplain of the Kharkov River in the north, by the Ring Road and Kulinichi in the east, by the ravine of the Nemyshlyanskaya River (Nemyshlyanskaya Street) in the south, and by Marshal Batitsky and Tyurinskaya Streets to the market near the Akademika Barabashova metro station in the west. The population of Saltovka, excluding private housing and apartment buildings built before the mass construction of the 1960s, was 250,000 people in 1977 and 410,000 people in 2018. The exact territory called Saltovka is quite difficult to delineate. Traditionally, it is associated with the modern borders of the main part of the Moscow administrative district of Kharkov (excluding everything west of Saburova Dacha), the left-bank part of the Kievsky district (excluding Bolshaya Danilovka and Rashkina Dacha), and the right-bank part of the Nemyshlyansky district. The district was named so because the road from the center of Kharkov to the urban-type settlement of Stary Saltiv — Saltovskoe shosse — passed through its territory. Until the early 1960s, Saltovka was called Saltovsky settlement and had several small scattered areas, mostly of one-story (up to three stories) buildings (Tyurinka, Old Saltovka, Shevchenko settlement, Kirov settlement). Saltovka is a so-called bedroom community. Saltovka is the largest residential area in Ukraine and the former USSR. There are almost no industrial enterprises here, but there are many shops and markets. Including one of the largest clothing markets in Ukraine, near the Academician Barabashov metro station (colloquially known as "Barik", "Drum", "Barabe", "Barabashka"). The Barabashovo shopping center (registered name of the AVEK company) is, according to some sources, the largest in Europe. The general plan for high-rise development of the Saltovskyi massif was developed by the Giprostroy Institute in 1963. The development is mainly represented by panel 9, 12, 16-story sectional and point, as well as 5-story sectional buildings. Separate high-rise development was carried out since 1967, mass development of high-rise buildings began in the 1970s. The last ones to be built up, in 1984-1993, were the areas of Severnaya Saltovka and Krasnodarskaya Street. In the 2000s, due to the relatively low cost of housing compared to the city center, Saltovka became unattractive to investors. Since the second half of the 2000s, the construction of residential buildings has intensified again, and several new buildings have appeared in Severnaya Saltovka. At the moment, the construction of a new microdistrict near the medical complex consisting of 30 houses is being completed, and active construction of the residential microdistrict "Meridian" on Severnaya Saltovka consisting of 21 residential houses is underway. The largest developer in Kharkov, the company "Zhilstroy-1", plans for 2019 to begin mass residential development in the area of ​​​​Valentynovskaya Street.
