# region

The region that bounds the area in which to fetch points of interest.

```
get region(): CoordinateRegion | null;
set region(value: CoordinateRegionData | null);
```

## Discussion

The system determines the region from the provided bounding box or derives the region from a box enclosing the circle specified by [`center`](/documentation/MapKitJS/PointsOfInterestSearchOptions/center) and [`radius`](/documentation/MapKitJS/PointsOfInterestSearchOptions/radius).
