Nufărul

Nufărul is a large "satellite" quarter (cartier in Romanian) on the eastern outskirts of Oradea, Bihor County, Romania.

It is also one of the fastest-growing areas in Bihor county in terms of development and foreign investment, due to its location on the E60 Budapest–Bucharest highway, the quarter being the first point of contact with Oradea when arriving from Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, and other major Romanian cities.

A piece of trivia used as a sign of Nufărul's rise as an important centre for foreign investment is that the quarter was the location of the second McDonald's (McDrive) restaurant in the Municipality of Oradea.

However, despite having a wide range of infrastructure, Nufărul was, like Rogerius, built-up mainly during Romania's Communist period, which ended as a result of the Romanian Revolution of 1989.

For that reason, the quarter is said by many to lack the historical charm of central Oradea, instead being filled by planned and mostly unaesthetic Communist-era apartment blocks and buildings.
