History
Construction of apartment blocks started in the area in 1978 and was completed in 1987. The textile factory Tricodava and the plastics factory Munplast were built by the communist regime in the neighborhood. Tricodava was demolished in 2007, and an apartment complex was built on the former location.{{Cite web|url=http://ghid.imopedia.ro/dex/ghencea-6310.html|title=Ghencea}}
Transportation
The infrastructure of the neighborhood is not very good. There are no subway stations in the area, and the only way to get around fast is by using lightrail line 41. Getting around by car, bus, or trolleybus can be very time-consuming, especially during rush hours.
