IMPORTANT NOTES BY BULGAIRAN PROPERTIES LTD.
Bankya is turning into part of the capital Sofia now. Being very close to the city, just 15-17 km from the ideal centre, more and more people are looking forward to moving and living permanently in Bankya. The population in Bulgaria has been living mainly in the urban areas of the country, to be close to their work places. As result the rural areas of Bulgaria are populated mostly by older pensioners. Things are quickly changing now: the young and mid-age professionals with families are moving in areas near the cities and towns, where they can enjoy the beauty of the nature, providing healthy living conditions for their families, lots of forests and green areas, places where they can build family houses with gardens, safe for children to play, etc. In general people in Bulgaria are now fed up of living in the busy, noisy and crowded cities and many of them are looking to move out. This process is already starting, but it is expected it to boom in the next 5-10 years, as the incomes of these families are increasing. We believe that it is now time for the wise investors to start purchasing plots in such areas and especially Bankya. There are many reasons why this small and picturesque town will attract the new settlers from the city:

- Bankya is only 17 km from the centre of Sofia;
- The climate here is exceptionally healty and mild
- Beautiful nature
- Bankya is easily and quickly reachable by car, train, public transport (bus) or taxi (only 20 minutes driving from the centre of Sofia)
- Bankya is very well provided with local amenities, shops, entertainments, beautiful parks, resort infrastructure.
- The local price of the land is much lower than the similar but much overcrowded and commericalised villages at the foot of Vitosha mountain: e.g. Simeonovo and Dragalevtsi
- The whole town is supplied by gas propane network for cheap heating and household needs.
More and more nice built and looking properties appear in Bankya every month. This will attract even more newcomers from the city.
