Zona B-5-3
suburb · Sofia
78/ 100
Excellent
Zona B-5-3 is a compact wedge of tall EPK blocks just west of the centre, and it scores a perfect 100 on both walkability and transit, with the metro and the Women's Market area in easy reach. Residents describe well-maintained towers, some with porters and access control, and everything close by; the downsides they name are real: hard parking, little greenery (38) and constant urban noise, with a quiet score of 0. At €2,846/m² it suits people who want a central life in solid housing and care little about facades or silence. ↗
