Суд находится рядом.

Суд most basically means court in the legal sense.

Depending on context, it can refer to:

• the court as an institution,
• a trial or legal proceedings,
• or, in everyday context, sometimes the courthouse itself.

In a sentence about physical location like Суд находится рядом, learners often understand it as the court / courthouse is nearby.

Находится means is located or is situated.

So:

• Суд находится рядом = The court is located nearby
• Суд рядом = The court is nearby

Both are possible, but they feel a little different:

• Суд находится рядом is a bit more formal, neutral, or matter-of-fact.
• Суд рядом is shorter and more conversational.

Russian often omits a verb in the present tense when English would use is, so Суд рядом is perfectly natural.

It is the 3rd person singular present tense of находиться.

Breakdown:

• dictionary form: находиться
• present tense: он / она / оно находится = he / she / it is located

It agrees with суд, which is singular.

The -ся ending is part of the verb. In this case, you should learn находиться as a whole verb meaning to be located / to be situated.

Here рядом means nearby.

When рядом stands by itself, it works like an adverb:

• Суд находится рядом. = The court is nearby.

But when you say what something is near, you normally use:

• рядом с
  • instrumental case

For example:

• Суд находится рядом с банком. = The court is next to / near the bank.

So:

• рядом = nearby
• рядом с чем-то = near something

Russian has no articles, so there is no direct equivalent of the or a/an.

That means суд can mean:

• the court
• a court

Which one is intended depends on context. In many real situations, the listener already knows which court is being talked about.

Yes. Russian word order is flexible.

These are all possible:

• Суд находится рядом.
• Рядом находится суд.
• Суд рядом.

The basic meaning stays similar, but the focus changes:

• Суд находится рядом. = neutral statement
• Рядом находится суд. = puts more emphasis on nearby
• Суд рядом. = short, natural, conversational

So the version you have is a standard neutral way to say it.

Yes. Суд is masculine.

You can tell from its form and from how it behaves in other tenses:

• present: суд находится
• past: суд находился

In the present tense, Russian verbs do not show gender, so находится itself does not look masculine. But in the past tense, gender becomes visible:

• Суд находился рядом.

It is natural, but a little more formal than the shortest everyday version.

You might hear:

• Суд рядом. in casual speech
• Суд находится рядом. in neutral or slightly more formal speech
• Здание суда находится рядом. if someone wants to be especially clear that they mean the building

So your sentence is completely correct and natural; it just sounds slightly more official than the most casual option.

The stress is:

• суд
• нахо́дится
• ря́дом

A rough pronunciation guide:

• суд ≈ soot (but with a different Russian у sound)
• нахо́дится ≈ na-HO-deet-sya
• ря́дом ≈ RYA-dam

The stressed syllables are:

• нахо́дится
• ря́дом

Stress is important in Russian, so it is worth memorizing these together with the words.
