Old buildings and houses of historical and cultural value are a special type of real estate in Burgas. Most of them were built in the first half of the 20th century, but due to their elegance, style, location, and famous architects’ work, they keep on being very expensive and popular among property buyers. Recently, the mayor of Burgas announced a new program for the restoration of these buildings.

The demolition of the former shopping center has recently begun on the Burgas main pedestrian street, Alexandrovskaya. Just recently, there was an old one-store building filled with small shops and the El Dorado casino here. Today, the erection of a new luxury residential building has begun in its place.

In the spring of 2022, Sarafovo, which is one of the most prestigious and rapidly developing neighborhoods of Burgas, celebrated its hundredth anniversary.

People who were born in Sarafovo and those whose relatives once founded this place came from all over the world to a specially organized event. And the festival ended with incredibly beautiful fireworks.

It is interesting to note that in Sarafovo, as well as along the entire coast, those refugees who did not have special skills and connections were settled. At that time, living near the sea was not valued as highly as it is now.
