Nizhnyaya Yeltsovka is a residential district in Novosibirsk's Sovetsky City District, located along the banks of the Ob River. It combines apartment blocks and community facilities with research institutes that serve both residents and the city's scientific community.

The district began as a settlement in the early 17th century and grew gradually over centuries into an established residential area. This long timeline shaped it into a recognized part of the Novosibirsk region.

Several research institutes operate within the district, shaping the neighborhood as a hub for scientific work and learning. These facilities reflect how knowledge and research integrate into the community's daily identity.

The area is well connected to the city's transport system through four railway stations serving the neighborhood and surrounding areas. The riverside location makes walking and outdoor activities accessible to residents and visitors.

The Central Siberian Botanical Garden operates within the district, showcasing regional plant species through its living collections and research work. Founded in 1961, it offers visitors an unexpected natural escape hidden within an urban residential area.
