The Green Advantage: Why Parks Matter When Renting in Bucharest

When you think about renting an apartment in Bucharest, square meters, modern kitchens, or a good view might top your list. But there’s something equally important that too often flies under the radar: proximity to green spaces.

 

Green Spaces: Good for Your Health, Backed by Science

 

It's no longer just a life style choice—living near parks and green areas has a direct effect on your mental and physical well-being.

 

A 2016 study published in Environmental Health Perspectives found that residents living near green spaces had significantly lower mortality rates, particularly due to cardiovascular issues. The researchers pointed to increased physical activity, lower exposure to pollution, and reduced stress levels as key drivers of this health benefit (James et al., 2016, DOI: 10.1289/ehp.1510369).

 

So if you're looking at homes for rent in Bucharest, choosing one near a park isn't just a nice perk—it's a real investment in your well-being.

 

Parkul Circului: Nature Near Serenity’s 102 Address

Tucked into Sector 2, just minutes from Serenity’s rental homes at 102, Parkul Circului is a standout example of urban green space done right. With a tranquil lake covered in lotus flowers and shaded walking paths, it’s the perfect escape from city noise. It offers opportunities for jogging, meditation, dog-walking, or simply sitting quietly with a book.

Living close to this kind of park means your everyday rental experience becomes calmer, healthier, and more connected to nature.

 

Parcul Marin Preda: A Neighborhood Favorite Near Aqua City

On the west side of Bucharest, Parcul Marin Preda is a smaller but beloved park offering green relief in a family-friendly atmosphere. If you're renting near Aqua City, this green space becomes an extension of your living room—a place where children can play and adults can unwind under the trees.

 

Private Parks: The New Gold Standard in Modern Developments

Bucharest’s most forward-thinking residential developments are going beyond balconies and gyms—they’re offering private internal parks that give residents exclusive access to green serenity right outside their front door.

  • Nusco City features landscaped green zones ideal for walking, working     remotely, or relaxing.
  • One Lake Club combines waterfront access with lush, private greenery.
  • Luxuria Residence offers a large internal park, integrating green design with elegant     architecture.

 

For those seeking high-end apartments to rent in Bucharest, these developments are reshaping expectations by making nature a built-in amenity.

 

Green Spaces Influence Rental Preferences—And Price

It’s not just about comfort—it’s also about what renters value most. A landmark Dutch study published in Landscape and Urban Planning found that people consistently rank proximity to green spaces as one of the most desirable traits in a rental or home. Many were even willing to pay more for it (Luttik, 2000, DOI: 10.1016/S0169-2046(00)00039-1).

 

This trend holds true in Bucharest, where more renters are prioritizing access to nature, especially as work-from-home habits persist and wellness becomes a key lifestyle factor.
