Filipovtsi
suburb · Sofia
48/ 100
Average
A small quarter on Lyulin's western edge along the Sheovitsa river, mixing an older family-house core with newer buildings, and buyers here routinely ask about safety first because of the area's perceived reputation; local voices online push back against glossy marketing of the area. The numbers are stronger than the image: €10/m² rents drive a 5.4% yield, greenery scores 80, and ten permits show builders are committing. The quiet score of 10 (ring-road and rail noise) and the perception gap are the real discounts baked into the price. ↗
