m. Gardova glava
suburb · Sofia
78/ 100
Excellent
The rare villa zone that scores like a city quarter: composite 74, walkable (72), well connected (68, about ten minutes on foot to the Knyazhevo tram), yet green (96) and quiet (88) at the foot of Vitosha. Forum users confirm the appeal but warn the build-out is uneven, parts still lack sewerage, proper streets are scarce, and some new cooperatives ignore setback rules. At €2517/m² with a 4.3% yield it is arguably one of the best-balanced buys on Sofia's villa belt if you verify utilities parcel by parcel. ↗
