Malinova Dolina

The name Malinova Dolina is shared by a neighborhood in the south of Sofia, about 7 km from the center, and the adjacent residential complex of the same name, which is linked to Studentski Grad. To the south the Ring Road separates the area from the Simeonovo neighborhood.

The area developed in the second half of the 20th century as a small villa and industrial zone, built up mainly with houses. In recent years many new residential complexes have gone up here, and as of October 2026 Malinova Dolina is among the areas with the largest number of apartments listed for sale in Sofia. Many of the new buildings have underground parking, and some have apartments with their own gardens.

For a long time infrastructure struggled to keep up with construction. According to Sofia Municipality, new streets, sewerage and lighting are being built in the area, and the neighborhood's first municipal kindergarten was completed at the end of 2023.

Interest in the neighborhood is high. According to data from the ADRES agency for Q3 2026, Malinova Dolina saw the strongest growth in average price per square meter among the Sofia neighborhoods the agency tracks - 11% year on year. Even so, prices are still lower than in most southern neighborhoods.
