The commune is located west of Bucharest, on the banks of the Ciorogârla and Sabar rivers, and on the left bank of the Argeș River. It is crossed by county road DJ602, which leads east to the Ghencea Extension neighborhood of Bucharest and north-east to Ciorogârla and further into Giurgiu County to Joița and Săbăreni, then returning to Ilfov County in Chitila (where it intersects with DN7) and Buftea (where it ends in DN1A).[2]
