Krtsanisi lies on the southern edge of Tbilisi, where the city meets wooded hills along the Mtkvari. Its name is tied to the Battle of Krtsanisi of 1795, one of the defining moments in Georgia's history, and the area keeps a memorial to the soldiers who defended the city.
Today the district combines older neighborhoods such as Ortachala with quiet streets of private houses and villas set among gardens and forest. The center of Tbilisi is a short drive away.
Krtsanisi suits buyers who want a house with land, more space and clean air while staying in the city, and investors in residential land. Plots and family houses here are rarer than apartments, so good ones sell quickly.
