Dorćol is the rectangle between the fortress, the Danube and Kralja Petra street. It is the densest and the most expensive part of the centre, and it is where most of the people who arrived recently have settled.
The reason is simple: everything is within walking distance. Bajloni market, the riverside, a dozen coffee places, a school, a clinic — all inside twenty minutes on foot.
A two-room flat in Dorćol starts at around seven hundred euros and easily reaches a thousand and something if it has been renovated. Cheaper if you take a flat in a building without a lift, and there are plenty of those here.
What you pay for it
The downsides are honest: noise in the evenings, narrow pavements, no parking at all. If you have a car, this neighbourhood will punish you daily.
The best time for a first walk is Sunday morning. The city is empty, the coffee places open at eight, and you can see how the neighbourhood actually works.
