Gradina
suburb · Sofia
59/ 100
Good
A tiny quarter on Sofia's southern edge, wedged between the Vitosha quarter, Simeonovsko shose and the ring road. Daily-life scores are solid, with walkability at 83, food at 80, sports at 83 and schools at 79, but greenery inside the quarter is minimal (9) and quietness (17) suffers from the ring road and Simeonovsko shose. The market is thin, asking around €2,700/m² with only a handful of live listings, so both buying and exiting take patience. ↗
