Ilientsi
suburb · Sofia
35/ 100
Below average
A low-rise pocket of family houses wedged into Sofia's northern industrial belt, best known for the giant Ilientsi wholesale bazaar down the road, itself reportedly half-empty these days. At €1,701/m² with a 4.9% yield it works for people tied to the logistics and trade jobs nearby, or landlords renting to them. As a place to actually live it is hard going: constant truck noise (quiet 14), poor walkability (36) and almost nothing to do locally. ↗
