Buxton
suburb · Sofia
74/ 100
Excellent
Buxton is a calm south-western quarter that families pick for the schools and the well-reviewed kindergarten (67 CDG). It pairs decent walkability with a leafier, lower-rise feel than the belt closer to the centre. The thing to watch is construction: 39 active permits since 2024 put it among the busiest building zones. ↗
