Ivan Vazov is one of Sofia's most prestigious southern areas, close to the city center but far from its hustle and bustle. It borders Bulgaria Boulevard, Petko Todorov Boulevard, and South Park – a favorite spot for Sofia residents to unwind.
The neighborhood is differentiated by various architecture, featuring a blend of preserved old brick buildings and several modern residential complexes. Low-rise and mid-rise blocks with well-maintained communal areas are predominant.
Residents enjoy various amenities and recreational facilities, including the eponymous market, stadium, tennis club, football academy, fitness center, swimming pool, sports complex, volleyball hall, schools, medical centers, beauty salons, green spaces, and playgrounds.
Another advantage of the neighborhood is its excellent infrastructure and reliable public transportation. Several tram lines run through the neighborhood, connecting it to the city center and surrounding areas. Buses provide direct access to more distant districts/areas such as Student Town/City and Ovcha Kupel. The neighborhood is served by two metro stations. The first is Bulgaria on the third line connecting Gorna Banya and Hadzhi Dimitar, and the other is the European Union on the second line linking/connecting Nadezhda and Lozenets.
If you are looking for a quiet, well-maintained neighborhood close to the center, an apartment in Ivan Vazov is the ideal choice.
