Domnești-Țegheș: The new residential destination in western Bucharest

The western area of Bucharest is rapidly developing, with Domnești-Țegheș emerging as a prime residential destination, supported by recent infrastructure investments and modern real estate projects. The completion of A0 South Highway – Lot 3, scheduled for April 2025, along with the expansion of Prelungirea Ghencea to four lanes up to the Domnești Overpass, will significantly improve accessibility, reducing travel time and eliminating transit traffic from the area.

“Infrastructure modernization is transforming the residential dynamic of Domnești. The A0 Highway and the expansion of Prelungirea Ghencea make this area a viable alternative to northern Bucharest, with the advantage of much more affordable prices. We are seeing increasing interest from buyers seeking spacious homes with private gardens, close to nature, yet with quick access to the city”, said Bogdan Rădulescu, developer of Forest Vista.

Growing demand for high-quality, affordable housing

Over the past 15 years, the residential market in Domnești-Țegheș has experienced steady growth, with the number of completed homes doubling from 3,274 in 2010 to 6,251 in 2023 According to the National Institute of Statistics, the usable area for which building permits were issued for residential units in 2023 reached 48,500 square meters, double the figure from 2010, signaling accelerated expansion.

This sustained growth is driven by demand for larger homes in a quieter, greener environment, as well as the expansion of the local community. Today, Domnești-Țegheș is home to over 11,000 residents, 50% of whom are active individuals between the ages of 20 and 49, while 25% are children, making it an ideal area for families seeking a balanced lifestyle away from urban congestion.

A key factor in this development is affordability: modern homes with private gardens range from €120,000 to €170,000, significantly lower than similar areas in Bucharest. For example, a four-room apartment in Cartierul Latin, approximately 120 square meters, costs €110,000 + VAT, compared to €152,000 + VAT in Drumul Taberei and €196,450 + VAT in Ghencea.

“At Forest Vista, we have created a concept tailored to the needs of modern families: spacious interiors, energy efficiency, and a natural setting. Inspired by Scandinavian architecture, our villas feature open designs, large glass surfaces, and premium finishes. We offer turnkey homes starting at €120,000 + VAT, and our clients benefit from customized interior design by professionals, ensuring they can arrange their homes exactly as they envision, with no additional costs”, explained Bogdan Rădulescu.

Infrastructure and Accessibility

The Forest Vista project is located just three minutes from the A0 highway junction and one minute from the new kindergarten in Țegheș, an area administratively part of Domnești. The kindergarten has a capacity of eight preschool groups and occupies an area of 1,000 square meters, following an investment of approximately 6.2 million lei.

In terms of road infrastructure, work is underway on the construction of the Express Road connecting Domnești to Militari, part of an extensive plan to develop Bucharest’s radial road network, which will facilitate access between peripheral areas and the city center.

Domnești-Țegheș is becoming increasingly attractive due to infrastructure investments, improved accessibility, and competitive pricing, offering a balance between a natural environment and urban conveniences. The rising demand for such areas aligns with a national trend, as Romania has the highest homeownership rate in Europe (94.5% in 2023) and the lowest per capita outstanding residential loans. Young buyers favor modern, well-equipped homes, further driving residential development.

In this favorable market context, real estate prices increased by 11.7% between 2023 and 2024, while Ilfov and Bucharest have some of the best affordability indices in Romania, with housing costs averaging around 1.4 net median salaries per square meter. As a result, Domnești-Țegheș is not only attracting new residents but is also emerging as a strategic opportunity for long-term real estate investments.
