Izgrev

Izgrev is a neighborhood in the east of Sofia. It borders the Dianabad neighborhood, the Iztok neighborhood (separated from it by Dragan Tsankov Blvd.) and Borisova Gradina park.

It is known as the "nomenklatura neighborhood" - in the late 1970s apartment blocks for artists, writers and radio and television figures were built here. Izgrev is home to several embassies, the garden with the grave of Peter Deunov, the woodcarved house of master Racho Angelov, and the house-museums of the painters Dechko Uzunov and Iliya Petrov.

It is served by Frederic Joliot-Curie metro station (lines M1 and M4), which connects it directly to the center, as well as by bus lines.

Izgrev is a small neighborhood and the supply of property is very limited - as of October 2026 there are few apartments listed for sale. As a result, prices vary widely from property to property and are among the highest in Sofia.
