There is Khimka reservoir, also known as the Moscow Canal.
Despite the high alcohol and drug abuse, the neighborhood is considered to be highly desirable due to its proximity to parks, beaches and solid housing and transportation infrastructure. Within the last 20 years the neighborhood has been through a revival due to an influx of immigrants from former Soviet states like Armenia, Georgia, Uzbekistan, etc.
