Baikonur District

Baikonur District is an administrative area in the northern part of Astana that contains residential neighborhoods and government buildings spread across the territory. The area combines modern urban infrastructure with everyday functions that serve the residents.

The district was established in 2018 when the city restructured its administrative organization and replaced the previous district. This reorganization was part of broader developments in Astana's urban management.

The district serves as a meeting place for people from different backgrounds, where Kazakh and Russian communities live together and shape daily life. Public spaces and organized events reflect this diversity and define the social character of the area.

Residents and visitors can access administrative services online through the district's official website and stay informed about local developments. Standard public transportation connects the area with other parts of Astana.

The area shares its name with a major space launch facility located in southern Kazakhstan, but operates as a completely separate administrative entity. The name choice reflects local connections rather than any operational relationship.
