Kraskovo-Bogorodskoye, an old estate of the Trubetskoy knyazes, is located on the Pekhorka River.

It was heavily damaged after the October Revolution—the park was deforested and most of its area was used for construction. The main house with its auxiliary wings and a church, household courtyard, and a crude kerb-stone fence still remain.

Another historic site of Kraskovo is the brick empire Vladimir church, constructed in 1831–1832.

In 1898, the first hospital in the area opened here, which is today known as Lyuberetsky District Hospital #1. There are now also children's and adult's clinics and a veterinary station for domestic animals.

Children pre-schools and schools of general education, children intellectual development center, a stadium and a sporting school. State professional vocational training lyceum and Moscow artistic teacher's training college of technology and design.
