Tractorul

$

Once an industrial area, Tractorul has transformed into a trendy business district with ongoing development. The former tractor factory is now a modern business park, and the old aircraft hangar is being converted into an entertainment venue. Offers more affordable housing options with a mix of older communist-era blocks and new construction. Good for those seeking value and don't mind being slightly further from tourist attractions.

πŸ’‘ Choosing Your Neighborhood

πŸŒ™

Match your schedule. Quiet areas for early risers, lively ones for night owls who work late and thrive in evening energy.

πŸ’»

Check coworking proximity. Walking distance to cafes and spaces matters a lot after a few weeks of settling in.

🏠

Try before committing. Book 1-2 weeks first before longer stays. Every neighborhood feels different at night.

πŸ’¬

Ask the community. Join local nomad groups for recent tipsβ€”neighborhoods change faster than any guide.
