The area is served by multiple metro stations, bus networks, and tram lines, and includes shopping centers and everyday services for residents.

The district was established in 1936 and named after Mikhail Frunze, a military commander from the Russian Civil War period. This naming reflected his importance in Soviet history and continues to define the area's identity.

The area consists of residential neighborhoods such as Kupchino and Volkovskoye, each functioning as distinct communities with their own cultural centers and educational hubs. Daily life here revolves around these smaller districts, where people shop, socialize, and maintain local connections.

The district is densely populated with a well-developed public transportation network that makes getting around straightforward. Visitors can navigate easily between different neighborhoods and find shops and services throughout the area.

The district is among the most densely populated areas in all of St. Petersburg, with many residents concentrated in relatively compact zones. Despite this density, the neighborhoods maintain green spaces and residential character that keep the area feeling livable and balanced.
