Itborders the neighborhood of Đeram on the south, Slavujev Venac on the west, "Novo Groblje" (new cemetery) on the north-west, Zvezdara II on the north and Zvezdara itself on the east.

Characteristics

Name of the neighborhood means nightingale valley and comes from Tukish words "bülbül", nightingale, and "dere", valley. Apparently, the entire surrounding area was populated by nightingales, as the neighboring areas are called "Slavujev Venac" and "Slavujev Potok" (Serbian for nightingale's circle and nightingale's creek, respectively).

The neighborhood is mostly residential, with a population of 5,437 in the local community of the same name, by the 2002 census.
