Its northern border is the Győr-Pápa-Celldömölk and Győr-Veszprém railway lines (partly from the west), and Ady-város. Marcalváros is bordered to the west by Szent Imre Road, to the south by the city border, and to the east by main road 81.
The extreme formation of the Sokorói Hills approaching Győr from the east is the Szabadhegy terrace, located about twenty meters higher, on which the city district was settled.
Vineyards were established here as early as the time of the Árpáds.
It is not known exactly when it became part of Győr, but it was already mentioned as part of the city in 1786, and Korabinsky's geographical lexicon even mentions that it consists of manors and vineyards. The owners of the vineyards lived at the foot of the mountain, as did the workers who worked there. The mountain was covered with vineyards and orchards until recent times.
The development into the current family-house type began at the beginning of the 20th century, and with it the disappearance of vineyards.
The village of Szabadhegy has been inhabited since the 12th-13th centuries. It may have been inhabited as early as Roman times, although this is not confirmed. According to old documents, its name was first Szent Mihály, from the 12th century Szőlős, and then Szabadi.
It was inhabited by royal winegrowers and winemakers. Later it was registered as an independent village, then annexed to Győr, but there is no exact data on this time.
It was an agricultural settlement even a few decades ago, but today we can witness its integration with the city center of Győr. Its rural character is disappearing, and in some parts a "new" housing estate was built in the 1970s, due to the subsoil, only 5-story residential buildings were built.
In the 1980s, a small, experimental housing estate with 55 apartments was built on Páva Street. The two-story terraced houses are made of concrete panels, but in their form they function as single-family homes.
In the nineties, a new housing estate, the Szabadi út housing estate, was built around the TV transmission tower (relay station), in previously undeveloped areas.
Nowadays, new shopping malls and residential parks are being planned on the areas formerly occupied by the Soviet army as warehouses.
From the area around the TV tower or from the higher-lying houses or their terraces, under clear visibility conditions, the Ravazd-Ménfőcsanak range of the Sokoró hills, the tower of the basilica of the Benedictine Abbey of Pannonhalma, and, if you are lucky, the higher peaks of the Bakony Mountains can also be seen.
The main street of Szabadhegy is József Attila Street.
Until now, this was also the route for traffic connecting main roads 81 and 82. With the re-alignment of main road 81, traffic was partially diverted to Zöld and Yerevan roads, which run parallel to József Attila Road. The urban development plans also show further road network expansion.
The city center can be reached by four bus routes, city buses on lines 2, 5, 6, 7, 17 and 38. It is a distance of 4-5 km from the city hall.
