Sellers here are asking a median €2,692/m² across 12 listings — the 34th most expensive of the 109 Sofia neighbourhoods we price — and the neighbourhood sits 7.6 km from Sveta Nedelya Square, with Inter Expo Center - Tsarigradsko shose metro station is about 300 m away.
The shorthand locals use: industrial, logistics, peripheral. This page prices every apartment size separately, maps the schools, kindergartens and supermarkets that are actually inside the neighbourhood, scores 7th–11th Kilometre across eight buyer criteria and answers the questions people ask before they view. Every figure comes from a single sample of the Sofia market taken on 16 September 2026 and from OpenStreetMap’s amenity data.
Apartment prices in 7th–11th Kilometre
Budget €201,400 for a median 7th–11th Kilometre apartment — about 80 m² of floor area. A quarter of listings are below €195,000 and a quarter above €221,500, with the full range running €139,000–€269,553.
Square-metre pricing sits at €2,692 in the middle, €2,411 at the lower quartile and €2,797 at the upper. Because the 10th–90th percentile band is 35% wide, the average is a poor guide here — use the size-by-size table below instead.
The step from one bedroom to two is the decision most buyers face. One-bedroom (dvustaen) flats ask €201,400 at 72 m²; two-bedroom (tristaen) flats ask €204,276 at 118 m². In rate terms that is €2,765/m² against €1,689/m² — the extra bedroom is cheaper per metre than the first one.
Counting by budget band rather than by average: 8% of listings ask less than €150,000, 33% less than €200,000, 100% less than €300,000.
| Apartment size | Median price | Middle 50% range | Typical area | € / m² | Listings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| 3-room (tristaen) — 2 bedrooms | €204,276 | €171,638 – €236,915 | 118 m² | €1,689 | 2 |
| All sizes | €201,400 | €195,000 – €221,500 | 80 m² | €2,692 | 12 |
Room counts are Bulgarian: a 2-room dvustaen is a one-bedroom, a 3-room tristaen a two-bedroom. All figures are advertised prices — expect to negotiate 3–8% off.
| Segment | Median price | Typical area | € / m² | Listings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New (2021+ / under construction) | €201,400 | 72 m² | €2,765 | 10 |

Eight editorial scores, computed from the prices and amenity counts above and benchmarked against the other 135 neighbourhoods. These are our judgements, not crowd ratings.
Six things to check in 7th–11th Kilometre
Tax base vs. price
Sofia’s municipal transfer tax is 2.5% of the higher of the price and the tax valuation, and the notary and registry fees add roughly 1–1.5%. On a €201,400 flat here, budget about €9,063 in transaction costs.
The building, not just the flat
Ask for the minutes of the last general assembly, the balance of the building fund and whether any major works are planned. A pending roof or lift replacement is a five-figure liability that follows the property.
Heating and running costs
Get the last winter’s heating bills in writing. An uninsulated flat with electric heating can cost three times what a district-heated insulated one does.
Buying before completion
33% of listings here are pre-completion. Tie payments to Act 14 and Act 16 milestones, check the developer’s previous finished buildings, and never pay more than the schedule requires.
The new-build arithmetic
A new flat is rarely habitable at handover. Add €250–400/m² for finishing, €8,000–20,000 for parking, and recompute the price per usable square metre once you know the common-parts coefficient.
Title first, flat second
Before the preliminary contract: property register extract, cadastral sketch, encumbrance search, spousal consent, and a statement of building-fund arrears. In that order.
7th–11th Kilometre: frequently asked questions
Is new construction available in 7th–11th Kilometre?
83% of the listings here are new — finished in 2021 or later, or still being built — and 33% are sold off-plan. Expect €2,765/m² for new against €1,689/m² for the existing stock — a 64% difference. Off-plan means developer risk: pay against Act 14 (structure) and Act 16 (occupancy permit), never ahead of them, and visit a completed project by the same company.
What kind of buildings are there in 7th–11th Kilometre?
Few listings here state a construction type. Half the stock predates 2026; the typical building is 10 floors high. Ask whether the block has been insulated under the national programme — it moves both the bills and the resale price. See our panel vs brick guide.
What rental yield can I expect in 7th–11th Kilometre?
Sofia long lets generally produce 4–6% gross. On a median 7th–11th Kilometre flat at €201,400, 5% gross means about €839 a month in rent. Metro access is the strongest driver of rentability in Sofia, and this neighbourhood has it. Budget 10% for management and maintenance and an effective 9% income tax (10% on 90% of gross), plus annual property tax and waste fees.
Do I need residency to buy in 7th–11th Kilometre?
Yes. Any foreign individual or company may own an apartment in Bulgaria outright — the old restriction covers agricultural land only, never flats. You need a passport, a Bulgarian tax number (issued in a day) and either your presence at the notary or a notarised, apostilled power of attorney. Ownership does not by itself grant residency. The foreign buyer's guide covers what it does and does not give you.
What are the total costs of buying in 7th–11th Kilometre?
Budget 4–5.5% on top of the price. On a median 7th–11th Kilometre flat at €201,400 that is roughly €9,667. The components: 2.5% municipal transfer tax = €5,035, notary fees of about €1,208, registry entry €201, plus commission where the buyer pays it. Our costs and taxes guide breaks every line down, including the annual bills afterwards.
Where else should I look if 7th–11th Kilometre is too expensive?
Its direct neighbours are the fairest benchmark: Druzhba 2 at €2,350/m² and Gorublyane at €2,058/m². Buyers priced out of 7th–11th Kilometre usually land in Gorublyane, where the rate is €2,058/m². The neighbour table above gives the full comparison, including new-build share and market depth.
Where do residents park in 7th–11th Kilometre?
Most of the market here is new-build, so underground parking is usually available — but almost always priced separately at €8,000–20,000. You are outside the blue and green zones, so there is no charge — and no reserved space either. Always confirm in writing whether a quoted price includes a space, and whether that space is deeded property or merely allocated by the building.
How quiet is 7th–11th Kilometre?
The hospitality count is 12 restaurants, 3 cafés and 0 bars. The main streets are lively; the courtyards behind them are noticeably calmer. Always visit twice: once in daylight, once after dark with the windows open.
