 Selo Rakovica is located in the central part of the municipality, in the valley of the creeks of Rakovički potok and "Milošev potok", some 15 kilometers south-east of downtown Belgrade.Once a small village distant from downtown, Selo Rakovica today grew into one continuous built-up area with the rest of the city, bordering the neighborhoods of Jajinci on the north and Beli Potok on the south.At the time, Selo Rakovica got the official prefix "selo" (Serbian for "village") to make a distinction from the much larger, industrial suburb of Rakovica.
