Vake
Suits households who want a leafy, upscale residential setting with a park and cafés close by, and who are content using buses rather than the metro.
Tbilisi's residential areas split roughly between the historic central districts on both banks of the river and the larger planned districts to the north and west. The centre covers the Old Town, Rustaveli, Vera, Marjanishvili and Chugureti, where old streets, theatres, cafés and bars sit close together; Vake sits apart as a leafy upscale quarter in the west. Further out, Saburtalo, Isani, Didube and Gldani are denser, more practical places to live, most of them within a few minutes' walk of a metro station.
