Bystrc
Brno's western edge by the Brno Reservoir: a housing estate, an old core by the church, cottage areas and the Podkomorské woods. A tram runs to the centre, and boats sail on the reservoir in season. It suits people who want woods and water behind the house and work on the western side of the city.
Žebětín
A former village on Brno's western edge, now mostly family houses with gardens and new streets at the edges. Fields and woods are all around, and the centre is further away than from Bystrc. It suits people who want a house and quiet and don't mind a longer trip.
