Apartments in Budapest where Hollywood stars appear

An interesting phenomenon is that houses are getting more and more expensive in certain areas of Budapest. One of the reasons for that is the growing interest of Hollywood filmmakers to shoot their movies in Hungary, as blikk.hu reports.

Hungary’s success in the film industry

On the one hand, many Hungarian movies made it to the Oscar Gala and won other prestigious prizes during the last few years. A woman captured, Sing, Son of Saul’s or On Body and Soul are all excellent examples for that. On the other hand, Hungary seems to be a very popular choice to shoot movies both in the past and in the future. Due to this success, prices of the most trendy areas of Budapest are getting more and more expensive.

Budapest is a beloved place to shoot films because its buildings are suitable for picturing many different historical eras, but it also has a modern, ‘big city’ look. Ingatlan.com shared its statistics that show us how much it costs to buy a house in an area or a street, where superstars might appear.
