Botunets
suburb · Sofia
28/ 100
Below average
A 1960s workers' estate built for the Kremikovtsi steel plant, now far from everything with weak transport, no big shops and zero building permits since 2024. Long-time families describe staying by choice, but the area makes the news for the wrong reasons (a fatal street race in 2025 had residents demanding a permanent police presence), and prospective buyers ask about safety before anything else. At €1,302/m² with 9 listings, this is a market for locals, with little liquidity and a thin 3.7% yield. ↗
