Bulbulder (often erroneously Bulbuder) (Serbian Cyrillic: Булбулдер) is an urban neighborhood of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. It is located in Belgrade's municipality of Zvezdara.
Bulbulder is located in the western section of Zvezdara municipality, some 2.5 kilometers east from downtown Belgrade (Terazije). It spreads mostly between the streets of Dimitrija Tucovića on the south and Svetog Nikole on the north. It borders the neighborhood of Đeram on the south, Slavujev Venac on the west, Novo Groblje (new cemetery) on the north-west, Zvezdara II on the north and Zvezdara itself on the east.
The neighborhood is mostly residential. According to the census, the population of the local community of the same name was 5,437 in 2002 and 5,375 in 2011. With the local community of Slavujev Venac, population was 10,946 in 2002 and 10,441 in 2011.
The neighborhood name means nightingale valley and comes from Turkish words bülbül, nightingale, and dere, valley. Apparently, the entire surrounding area was populated by nightingales, as the neighboring areas are called Slavujev Venac and Slavujev Potok (Serbian for nightingale's circle and nightingale's creek, respectively). Together, they make up the neighborhood of Bulbulber. The creek which used to flow through the neighborhood has been conducted underground into the sewage system.
Bulbulder is a working-class neighborhood which mostly consists of old, individual houses with yards and orchards (cherries, apricots). In the 2010s, especially along the Dimitrija Tucovića, old houses were demolished and new, tall buildings constructed. The neighborhood is known for its pigeonries and for the number of athletes and trainers who grew up in the area: Vladimir Petrović Pižon, Vladislav Bogićević, Dušan Nikolić, Dragoslav Stepanović, Petar Borota, Zoran Dimitrijević, (football), Jovica Cvetković, Milan Kalina (handball), Nebojša Prokić (boxing), Ljubomir Vračarević (Real Aikido), Jelena Janković (tennis).
