Dacia-Eminescu
The Dacia-Eminescu area borders two of Bucharest's key office zones, the CBD and Central area, where over 75,000 people work.
District 2 covers the north-eastern part of Bucharest. With 352,826 residents, it is the third most populous of the six administrative sectors, accounting for 16.7% of Bucharest's population of 2,108,049. At just 32 km², however, it is the second smallest sector by land area, which makes it the second most densely populated, at roughly 11,026 residents/km², well above the city average of about 8,932 residents/km², and behind only District 3.
About the area
The area, at a glance
The Dacia–Eminescu perimeter is the core of interwar Bucharest: villas and apartments in heritage buildings, on tree-lined streets, within walking distance of Grădina Icoanei and Piața Romană. The area draws a public loyal to period architecture. Well-maintained properties sell discreetly and quickly.
History
Bulevardul Dacia was Bucharest's last planned boulevard before the First World War, conceived under Mayor Vintilă Brătianu to link Gara de Nord to Gara Obor and initially named Bulevardul Nou; Brătianu himself built a Neo-Romanian-style house here.
Between 1909 and 1914, on the former marshy land of George Ioanid's garden, the Ioanid Parcelling appeared: 25 luxury villas around Ioanid Park, attributed to the architect Ion Mincu, with contributions from Petre Antonescu, Ion Berindei, Grigore Cerchez, Ernest Doneaud and Paul Smarandescu. In 1916, Vila Mincu, at number 60, was authorised, designed by Eracle Lăzărescu and Arghir Culina for Aurel Mincu, a lawyer and bank director who became mayor of Sector IV Verde. Up to Strada Vasile Lascăr the Neo-Romanian style with Byzantine influences dominates; beyond Strada Traian, the homes become classical and more modest.
