Sídlisko Ťahanovce ([pronunciation: 'seedlisko 'tyahano-utse], literally: "Ťahanovce Housing Estate", Hungarian: Tihany-lakótelep) is a borough (city ward) of Košice, Slovakia. Constructed in the late 1980s and consisting almost exclusively of prefabs, the estate offers little in terms of work opportunities or recreation, causing residents to spend most of their daytime elsewhere. The estate has long suffered from traffic jams and petty crime. The number of residents has slowly declined as more affluent inhabitants moved out but as of 2024 remains above 20,000, making the Ťahanovce Housing Estate one of most densely populated parts of Košice.
