Lyulin

Lyulin is a residential complex in northwestern Sofia and the largest residential complex in Bulgaria - according to official data from 2001, more than 120,000 people live here. It is named after Lyulin Mountain. It borders the Ring Road to the west and Obelya to the north, and Zapaden (West) Park, one of the city's large parks, lies to the southeast.

Construction began in 1973. The complex is divided into 10 micro-districts (Lyulin 1 to Lyulin 10), and the main boulevards are Tsaritsa Yoanna, Pancho Vladigerov, Evropa and Dr. Petar Dertliev. The buildings are mostly panel blocks built from the early 1970s to the mid-1990s, but there are also EPK-system buildings, and in some micro-districts new construction.

Lyulin has had a metro since 1998. The Slivnitsa, Lyulin and Zapaden Park stations are in the neighborhood and connect it directly to the center. Metro plans also include an extension along Tsaritsa Yoanna Blvd. with two more stations. Tram, trolleybus and bus lines also serve the area.

Lyulin is one of the most affordable neighborhoods with a metro in Sofia, which makes it a good fit for first-time buyers and investors.
