Yaroslavl, despite its rich history, does not stop developing. Every year new streets appear, old districts are renovated, the outskirts acquire modern infrastructure. Therefore, there are plenty of options for life. The city is divided into 6 districts, which the locals call briefly: Five, Frunze, Zavolga, etc. They differ not only geographically, each has a different development of social and public life, transport, and ecology.
We have reviewed the best areas of Yaroslavl for living. Since the city is ancient, over hundreds of years, parts of it have acquired a unique look both in size and in property features. The city is famous for its industrial enterprises, and it is the ecological situation that is its weak point. Air and water pollution remain major problems. It is not surprising that local residents rate prestige by the number of green areas and distance from factories.We examined the districts both from an ecological point of view and taking into account the comfort of living for families, workers, and students.
