The area is best known for housing Waves, formerly known as Hundige Storcenter, which is one of the largest shopping malls in Denmark with over 150 stores and various leisure facilities.

Hundige Church, a modern structure completed in 1976, is an architectural landmark in the district, known for its distinctive use of concrete and wood.
