Situated to the east of Shuafat and the south of Neve Yaakov, it is divided into three sections and connected to the city by a direct highway. As it is located in territory captured by Israel during the Six-Day War in 1967 (and subsquently annexed), it is widely considered an Israeli settlement in East Jerusalem. Since the spring of 2004, construction has been proceeding on the separation fence dividing this and other Jerusalem neighborhoods from the West Bank.
Many of the streets in Pisgat Ze'ev have numbers instead of names (e.g. "Street of the Four," "Street of the Sixteen"), memorializing the number of soldiers who fell in combat in this area during the Israeli War of Independence, the Six-Day War, and other battles for Jerusalem. A memorial listing the names of these fallen soldiers can be found at the Archeological Park in Pisgat Ze'ev-Central.
