Starting in a clockwise direction in the north, the district is delimited as follows:
The S-Bahn line between Steele and Bochum forms the northern border to the neighboring districts of Steele and Freisenbruch. In the east, the border with the neighboring city of Bochum runs east of Uhlendahlweg and then on Höntroper Straße. In the south and west, the Ruhr forms the border to the neighboring districts of Burgaltendorf and Überruhr .

There are 65 designated traffic areas in Horst, including no space . Eight streets are only partially in the district:
Rademachersweg, Tossens Büschken street, Sachsenring, Eiberg mine street and Weg am Berge continue to Freisenbruch. Höntroper Strasse and Dahlhauser Strasse continue to run under different names to Bochum. The Ruhrau runs to Steele.

There are no federal or state roads running through the Horst district.
