The pretty good slice

This middle slice stands for the largest part of Bucharest. Living in these areas is all right. All neighbourhoods are entirely made up of 8-10 stock block of flats, not very good-looking but highly hunted by average citizens in search for a flat to buy or to rent. There are also business centers and places to shop but we're not talking of the nuclear type of social life.

Calea Mosilor is among the top-rated. It starts around the center of the city and ends with Obor Market... where the motley crews of merchants and buyers gather to bargain their stuff. Then we have Iancului, Muncii, Dristor or Titan and some other names we gave to grouped communist constructions.

There are separate communities that have developed within these neighbourhoods, having their own institutions, schools, hospitals, parks and supermarkets though the cultural life is still concentrated in the center of the Capital.

What is also interesting is that large and supposedly exquisite shopping centers such as the malls can raise the potential of a neighbourhood. Malls have been built quite far from the center and from the well-to-do regions, still they are considered a great point of interest.

That's why neighbourhoods (such as Drumul Taberei, Berceni or Vitan) which are otherwise slightly tending to the stale and untasty margin of the slice are now conidered pretty good areas owing it to the malls that were built there. :)

You might also get to hear of: Crangasi, Grozavesti, Militari, Tei or Panduri - they all fit in this section.
