Cost of office and Flat in Varna by Fern house

I am looking to rent a Office in Varna maybe around 300-500 sq.ft. As well as rent a 2 bed flat overlooking the sea if possible. Any information about the cost would be appreciated.

Varnarama

It might be difficult to rent an apartment overlooking the sea in Varna, unless you are prepared to to rent in one of the old communist style tower blocks. However, there are good 2 bed apartments, near the sea (in the centre) for around 750 levs ... Read More

Yes, Varna definitely has an expat community and is a vibrant seaside city. In fact, I know a 50+ yo Dane that frequents The 3 Lions and Sundogs Bar. Read More

Get in Sundogs mate. That's the drinking hole, where you will find most expats congregate. English & Irish lads regularly in there (especially in the summer). They have a good fortnightly outdoor quiz there in the summer months ... Read More

black sea coast apartment by massimo70

Hi there, just spent 2 weeks in Varna searching for an apartment in the city center. The properties I visited with the real estate agency were quiet expensive, parking place when available was already sold or on sale for more than10K. Any advice? ...

Varnarama

Yeah I know someone called Phil who lives there. He says it's good but I think he now wishes he had bought somewhere in the centre to curtail his taxi expenses to and from the centre, as he spends a lot of time in the centre. Read More

Varnarama

Yeah I think 1500E per sq.m is a bit too expensive, and not as central as less expensive modern apartments nearer the centre. There is a majestic looking new apartment block buing built on Miladinovi St (200m parallel from slivinitsa - slivinitza ... Read More

Most 2 bedroom modern apartments are 1000-1200E per sq.m in the centre of Varna, which I think is still good value. Both Varna & Burgas are good cities. Depends what you are looking for I suppose, but Varna is a lot more vibrant than Burgas, ... Read More

Varna and Burgas visit during January by massimo70

Hi everybody, I will be visiting Varna and Burgas during January 2017. I would appreciate to meet somebody living in the area in order to get some advice about local life, prices, housing.... Thanks Max

Varnarama

Massimo, I was in Varna in january too (cold wasnt it?!), and modern 2 bed apartments in the centre were around 1000E per sq.m. So 1 bedroom apartments should be considerably less. Each to their own, but I prefer Varna to Burgas, Read More

Craig, the expat bar is Sundogs, which is right in the centre, 25 metres behind the bronze statue of the man holding a fish. Admittedly, there are a lot more expats hanging around there in the summer months, though there are still a few regulars, ... Read More
