Iztok
suburb · Sofia
77/ 100
Excellent
Iztok is the upmarket, convenient east: embassies, parks nearby, strong health services (families rate the 22 DKC pediatric clinic, when it has space). Locals genuinely like living here and the sentiment shows it. The economics are the catch: among the highest prices and lowest yields in Sofia. ↗
