Budapest is the capitol of Hungary. There are 2 million people who reside in the city divided in two by the Danube. On the one side of the river is Pest, where you find the congested business districts. On the other side of the Danube is Buda - with gently sloping hills, plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities - hiking and even skiing.

District II/A is located in the most attractive section of Buda - surrounded by a nature preserve, forests and hills ranging between 300-500 meters in height. As it can clearly be seen on the map, the district is well separated from Budapest's more densely populated areas. Prior to WWII it was a separate township by the name of Pesthidegkut, but after the war it was attached to Budapest and became part of District II. It is merely 7 km from city center and may be reached by public transportation or private automobile.

The area is guarded on the north by the Pilis mountain chain, on the east by Harmashatar hill, from the south Hars and Janos hills. The forests provide fresh, clean air. It is no wonder that the area had long been one of the favorite hiking places for the residents of Budapest.

One can reach city center by car or bus and/or tram numbers 56. The tram is the favorite of the residents as it runs frequently and on a strict schedule. Since it runs on its own tracks, even in peak traffic it arrives at Moszkva ter in 17 minutes and from there passengers may continue their journey by metro.

Over the years District II/A transformed completely. Once considered part of the country, the small community became one of Budapest' fastest growing sections, becoming a favorite with those wishing to live in single family neighborhoods that boast modern, quality structures.

Schools and nursery schools are sprouting up continuously as do a number of restaurants and shopping opportunities for local residents. The French school opened its doors in 2002 in Buda-Liget. The building also houses a nursery school, grade and high schools. In Nagykovacsi, 3 kilometers away, the American school was founded, also in 2002.

The Stop-Shop is the area's largest shopping center, containing a Kaiser supermarket, bank, book-, drug-, small appliance-, pet-, shoe- and furniture stores. Services offered on the premises are a hairdresser, travel agency, bowling alley, restaurant, coffee shop and dry cleaners, ready to serve customers seven days a week.

There are no industrial activities of any kind in District II/A, therefore there is no source of noise or air pollution. Residents who decide to settle here find ample choices among properties for sale or lease. Choices range from simple family homes to the most exclusive villas
