The quality of life in a city is no longer defined solely by proximity to the center or by a simple calculation of the cost per square meter. Urban planning and real estate experts argue that quality living is the result of a complex equation, which includes essential elements such as traffic, landmarks (access to amenities), air quality and property value, respectively real estate cost. These four coordinates are the basis of the TRAI Index by Storia.ro, a tool designed to bring objectivity to the choice of housing.
For the Dămăroaia neighborhood, Sector 1, the data aggregated by the TRAI Index are particularly optimistic, placing the area in the upper segment of the urban ranking. This excellent score, which signals a mature and balanced living environment, confirms the vision of residential projects that prioritize sustainability and accessibility. Corallis Apartments, a residential complex developed by KÉSZ Romania, is an eloquent example of how a developer's vision can align with the requirements of an almost perfect neighborhood, successfully checking off all the factors that contribute to a good TRAI indicator in Sector 1.
TRAI and the 15-minute city theory in sector 1
The philosophy behind Corallis Apartments embraces the urban concept of the 15-Minute City, developed by Carlos Moreno. This theory proposes that all daily needs (service, health, recreation, shopping) should be accessible within a maximum of 15 minutes of walking or cycling from home. Its main goal is to reduce the use of cars for daily activities and thereby reduce the impact on the environment.
Strategically located on Strada Coralilor 81-87, in the Bucurestii Noi area, the Corallis complex turns this theory into reality, supporting a premium and efficient lifestyle. The proximity to essential amenities optimizes the quality of life of residents, reducing stress levels and better managing time spent with family.
Landmark factor (r): walkable accessibility
The good Landmark (R) score in the TRAI index for Dămăroaia is reinforced by its proximity to Grivița Lake and the integration of the Petrom City area. In the case of Corallis Apartments, Residents will benefit from a wide range of options, within a theoretical 15-minute distance:
- Shopping: Lidl (3 minutes away), Mega Image (10 minutes away).
- Education:
- Kindergartens: Kipina Preschool (8 minutes), Peek A Boo (10 minutes), Beautiful Minds (15 minutes).
- Schools: Deutsche Schule Bukarest (4 minutes), Genesis College Secondary School (8 minutes), Special Secondary School No. 8 (8 minutes), Nicolae Grigorescu (10 minutes).
This density of institutions and shops drastically reduces the need for long commutes, contributing to an excellent TRAI score and a more united community.
Air (A) and Traffic (T) factors: nature, lake and sustainable mobility
One of the most important factors in the quality of life equation is the air we breathe, closely linked to the volume of traffic. Dămăroaia, through its location and development initiatives, manages to provide a remarkable balance, reflected in its high score.
