The main disadvantages are tied to the growing population: large traffic jams and high passenger traffic in public transport.

Balashikha is the leader in terms of population among the cities of the Moscow region. This entails one of the disadvantages - the flow of passengers in public transport is very large, especially during rush hour, and, of course, traffic jams.

Balashikha has good landscaping, many recreational areas for walking, a large number of attractions.
