Which Parts of Belgrade Are the Most Popular?

 

Belgrade represents the biggest real estate market in Serbia with a diverse offer. Although central municipalities are still in demand, the demand focus is slowly relocating to suburban municipalities, which have grown and developed. This is how Novi Beograd has stood out as a municipality where many apartments are built and sold, so as many as 769 apartments were sold in the first three months of this year. The advantages of this municipality are numerous shopping malls, luxury neighborhood construction, well-planned infrastructure with numerous parking spots and main streets with multiple lanes.
