Living in Oborishte
The neighbourhood is right in the centre, east of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. The streets are quiet and green, with plenty of cafes, small restaurants and galleries, and the Doctors' Garden and Borisova Gradina are close by.
Because of its proximity to the institutions and embassies, Oborishte is favoured by families, diplomats and people who want to live in the centre without the noise of the main boulevards.
Types of property
Most buildings are brick apartment blocks from the first half of the 20th century, many with high ceilings and distinctive facades. There are also a few new buildings put up in place of old houses. Vacant plots are rare.
Prices
Oborishte is among the most expensive neighbourhoods in Sofia, both to buy and to rent. Apartments in renovated old buildings and those with park views are especially in demand.
