Adolf-Miersch-Straße runs roughly in the middle of the settlement and connects it to the regional road network.

Internal access is via Melibocusstrasse, Jugenheimer Strasse, Heinrich-Seliger-Strasse, Herbert-Boehm-Strasse, Else-Alken-Strasse and other residential streets.
Origin and development
The building contractor and still the owner of the estate today are Nassauische Heimstätte, the public limited company for small apartments and other housing associations. The groundbreaking ceremony for 1,788 apartments was in October 1956. At that time, the construction costs for this amounted to DM 30 million. Between 1956 and 1965, a total of 230 residential buildings with 2,050 apartments were built with funds from social housing . Around 4,360 residents live there (as of December 31, 2008). In terms of the number of residents, it is one of the largest Frankfurt settlements.
In the 1970s and 1980s, numerous single-family row houses were built in the south of the settlement. In 1996 two-storey wooden studio houses were built along Melibocusstrasse. In 2004, Nassauische Heimstätte built 24 apartments on Heinrich-Seliger-Strasse. The "Edible Settlement" is an urban gardening project in which tenants in Melibocusstrasse have been using beds with plants since 2015. In 2016, another 25 apartments were built by Nassauische Heimstätte at Melibocusstrasse 62 and 70.
Development
The development was predominantly built in rows and thus followed the urban planning model of the time it was built. It aims at a rational urban layout, well-lit apartments and an economical construction. The four- and five-storey rows of buildings are mostly arranged across the access roads and connected by footpaths. Generous green spaces between the houses shape the appearance of the settlement. With the exception of a few garage yards, parking spaces are only on the streets. In the southwest of the settlement on both sides of Willeminenalle there are mostly two-story single-family houses.
