Apartments in Koseze: why homebuyers value living near the forest

More than 75% of the 111 apartments in Pod hribom, a residential neighbourhood in Koseze, Ljubljana, have been sold. Conversations with buyers show that access to green spaces, natural shade and a comfortable living environment during the summer are becoming increasingly important when choosing a new home.

Stoja Trade, the exclusive sales agency for the development, has noticed that buyers are looking beyond apartments with maximum sun exposure. East-facing apartments and west-facing homes with suitable shade are also attracting interest, particularly because they can offer more protection from the strong afternoon sun.

“Buyers are increasingly looking for a balance between natural light, shade and comfortable living throughout the year,” says Zoran Đukić, Managing Director of Stoja Trade.

Pod hribom in Koseze: a home beside the forest, connected to the city

Pod hribom is located at the foot of Šišenski hrib, near Mostec, Rožnik and Koseški bajer. Forest surrounds the neighbourhood to the south and west, while its Ljubljana location keeps residents connected to the city’s amenities.

For many buyers, this combination is a key consideration: a greener, quieter immediate setting while remaining in the city. Nearby trees and green spaces can also contribute to a more pleasant local microclimate, especially during hot summer days.

A private garden or a terrace? It depends on how you use the space

When choosing an apartment with an outdoor area, size is only part of the picture. A terrace offers space to relax and spend time with others, while a private garden provides direct access to greenery and an easy transition from indoors to outdoors.

Pod hribom offers ground-floor apartments with private gardens, apartments with loggias and top-floor apartments with terraces. The garden apartments are also planned to include pergolas with motorised roof slats, allowing residents to adjust the amount of shade.

A neighbourhood designed around pedestrians and green space

The development comprises seven residential buildings with a total of 111 apartments. Green areas, footpaths and shared spaces are planned between the buildings. Residents’ parking is provided in a shared underground garage, leaving the neighbourhood’s interior primarily for pedestrians and outdoor use.

The apartments are planned with features for year-round comfort, including cooling systems, underfloor heating and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. External screen blinds and pergolas with motorised slats provide additional ways to adjust sun exposure.

What are buyers looking for in a home today?

Sales experience shows that buyers consider more than a functional floor plan and attractive design. The surrounding area, opportunities to spend time outdoors, protection from summer heat and good connections to the city also matter.

Pod hribom brings together a range of apartment types and the green surroundings of Koseze. Selected apartments, including garden apartments, are still available. Contact the Stoja Trade sales team for current availability or to arrange an individual viewing.
