How to get a portion of Ozone at less than 15 miles from Bucharest
After getting their share of city craze, packaged with pollution, noise, overcrowding and mad traffic, the medium-upper class in Bucharest is looking for alternatives to move out from all the…errr…civilization. The first wave was Baneasa – from spacious plots, positioned next to the woods or greenery, Baneasa became an expensive, over-posh, overcrowded and overpriced area. One by one, other areas just outside the Bucharest ring road went through the same transformation, making them less and less attractive for large developers aiming to provide villa neighbourhoods. Now it’s time for the second stretch - with the plots nearby the ring road raising to unreachable levels, developers are starting to look further away from the capital to find suitable plots for their projects.
Tartasesti is a small village in the Dambovita district, around 15 miles away from Bucharest. Tartasesti is not particularly famous for anything – it is far enough from Bucharest and not on the busy DN1 (national road 1). The only detail that made it famous in the past was that Adrian Nastase, the Romanian prime minister during 200-2004, was actually born in Tartasesti. This did help, as the ex-prime minister apparently used some of his influence to improve the overall look and feel of the village as well as its infrastructure. Back to the present, the price of land varies in Tartasesti, depending on position (versus the Bucharest-Targoviste national road), facilities, and access, between €10-35/sqm (or at least these were the figures from here back in December 2007).
Ozone Forest Residences is the latest residential development project to balance lower land prices, slightly away from Bucharest, with commutable distance to the capital. Located nearby Tartasesti, 13 miles away from Bucharest (according to the developers), Ozone Forest Residences is a neighbourhood of 73 houses built on a 51000sqm plot. The villas in Tartasesti will come with plots between 330-660 sqm and are organised, as you can see in the picture above, in a rather military-square style. The total built surface for the villas is between 178-233sqm, occupying between 87-121 sqm of the land plots. Based on the available pictures, all the houses seem to be detached, so you might have either a narrow passageways between houses or a rather small backyard.
You can keep an eye on the project via its website , where you can find plenty about the additional facilities being built as part of the complex (playground, kindergarten, spa, and so on) but you won’t find anything about pricing. The only information that seemed to have leaked to the press were the extreme prices: the Ozone Forest villas in Tartasesti will cost between €170000-€270000, including VAT. Not bad, for a detached house within commuting distance to Bucharest…
