Kazan is an old and beautiful city, which is visited by tourists with pleasure. But it is one thing to stay in a hotel for a couple of nights, and quite another to choose a place for permanent residence. A comfortable life in any city is ensured by a combination of several factors - a developed infrastructure, good transport links, a relatively good environmental situation (as far as it is possible for a city), at least acceptable roads. For a full life with children, a good choice of schools, kindergartens and organizations is desirable, where the child can attend various sections. Based primarily on the feedback from residents, we have prepared for you a rating of the best areas of Kazan for living.
Top 5 best areas of Kazan for living
5 Volga

On the map: Kazan, Privolzhsky district
Rating (2022): 4.6
Due to the large number of businesses that are located near this area, it could be called one of the most polluted. But the situation is saved by abundant landscaping and close proximity to the Volga.The most pleasant place to stay here is the center of the district, namely the village of Starye Gorki. The village inside the city is adjacent to the inter-regional clinical and diagnostic center, equipped with the latest technology. And closer to the exit from the city there are cottage settlements - a good option for living, including with children.
If you wish, you can buy a private house or townhouse in a cottage village at a relatively low cost. Life here is quite busy - there are many different sports facilities. The most significant include the swimming pool, Tennis Academy, Fitness clubs. This is due to the construction of the 2013 Universiade Village. A cheerful life for young people will be ensured by the close proximity of bowling clubs, restaurants, cinemas and shopping and entertainment centers.
4 Soviet

On the map: Kazan, Sovietsky district
Rating (2022): 4.7
In the Sovietsky district of Kazan, construction continues to go on actively. According to the program of resettlement from dilapidated housing, people move mainly here. The Soviet district is not the best in terms of ecology, since 17 industrial enterprises are located in close proximity to its borders. But he also has many fans among the inhabitants of Kazan. The advantages that they cite in the first place are the excellent level of improvement of the area (there is everything you need) and the relatively young population compared to the city center. Also, reviews often contain information about a cheap standard of living (prices are lower than in the city), excellent work of utilities, cleanliness on the streets and yards. Families with children can safely consider this option because of the abundance of kindergartens and educational institutions.
The landscaping of the area is also at a high level, as a need to combat nearby enterprises. The disadvantages include mainly poor transport accessibility, a low level of security in some residential areas.
3 Moscow

On the map: Kazan, Moskovsky district
Rating (2022): 4.8
Moskovsky district can be considered the best in terms of transport accessibility, an abundance of schools, kindergartens and playgrounds. Despite the fact that the district is relatively young compared to Vakhitovsky, it is quite developed - families with children will find everything they need here. The ecology can hardly be called the best, since the area was originally formed as a result of the construction of large industrial enterprises, but all of them are located at a distance, in the industrial zone, so they do not pollute the city air too much.
A big plus for young families with children who need to improve their living conditions - among the new buildings there are many economy-class housing. You can also consider secondary real estate, but the layout of apartments in old houses is not the most successful - very small kitchens and bathrooms, but high ceilings. The disadvantages of the residents include the unsatisfactory condition of the roads in the yards, the reluctant work of janitors and housing and communal services in general, and the rare removal of garbage from containers.
2 Vakhitovsky

On the map: Kazan, Vakhitovsky district
Rating (2022): 4.9
According to the residents of Kazan, the oldest, historical Vakhitovsky district is better than all the others in terms of security and good neighbors. The last parameter, most likely, is due to the fact that the cost of apartments in this area is one of the highest and only serious, wealthy people can afford to purchase real estate here.In the Vakhitovsky district there is no abundance of shopping centers and entertainment venues, but there are many parks, squares and theaters. There are also enough universities, schools and kindergartens, so you can safely go here with your children.
Buildings in this area are almost not carried out anymore, since there are practically no wastelands suitable for this. Transport accessibility is at a high level - from the historical center of Kazan you can easily get to any part of the city. All these advantages are mainly due to the fact that the area is old, but the main disadvantages also follow from this - a lot of dilapidated houses that require replacement of communications, parking difficulties, cramped yards.
1 Novo-Savinovsky

On the map: Kazan, Novo-Savinsky district
Rating (2022): 5.0
According to the opinions of mostly young people, the Novo-Savinovsky district of the city of Kazan can be called one of the best for living, including for families with children. This is a young area, the main advantage of which is a developed infrastructure. Everything you need is within walking distance - schools, kindergartens, shops, supermarkets, entertainment venues. Since the area is young, it still continues to be built up and developed. In terms of security, it is quite calm here - it’s not scary to go outside in the evening. It is the residents of Kazan who give the Novo-Savinsky district the highest ratings, and this is a very good indicator.
The presence of a large number of schools and kindergartens is very convenient for families with children. And you don’t have to go to other parts of the city to buy any goods - everything that a modern person may need is here. But in terms of ecology, calling this area the best will not work with all the desire, which is recognized even by local residents.There are still very few green spaces here, but perhaps over time the situation will change for the better. Another disadvantage is the rather high cost of housing and poor-quality road cleaning in winter.
