5 best areas of Moscow for renting an apartment

A completely atypical sleeping area, which was conceived as exemplary, has its own unique features. It is very harmoniously built up, has many recreational areas and one of the best parks in terms of amenities - Bitsevsky. Under each high-rise there are underground parking lots, from which you can go directly to the landings. True, their rent is expensive, and cars are crowded in the yards. However, the disadvantages fade against the background of the main advantage of living in this area - apartments here are 20-30% cheaper than in the South Autonomous Okrug, and 2 times cheaper than in the center, which is 20 minutes away by metro. The area is also famous for the unusual architecture of buildings, due to which it is in great demand among filmmakers. This amuses the pride of the residents, but causes inconvenience when moving.

The housing stock is extremely diverse and consists of dilapidated panel 5- and 9-storey buildings, as well as new buildings, historic houses and business-class residential complexes. Accordingly, in the house for demolition, a 1-room apartment of 35 sq. m. with repairs here can be rented for a long time for 35–37 thousand rubles, and the same area, but in Moscow City - already for 300 thousand. At the same time, their residents will use the wonderful infrastructure of the area on an equal footing, go to theaters and museums within walking distance and relax on the Patriarch's Ponds. Unfortunately, a large number of wealthy people attract scammers of all stripes here, and the area is included in the list of the most criminal.

Due to its proximity to the center and the largest park in Europe, Sokolniki is considered a prestigious area with budget rental prices compared to the Central Administrative District. Most of it is occupied by green spaces of the park complex, there are very few "dirty" zones, there are all the facilities necessary for comfortable life - cultural and entertainment, shopping and business centers, schools, clinics. The housing stock is small and is represented mainly by buildings of the Brezhnev era.

People almost never leave here, so it is quite difficult to find an apartment for a long time.

There is also elite housing - in the gated community "Fantasy Island". As many as 300 hectares of the cluster are occupied by green spaces, but the environment is not the best due to the high building density and active car traffic. In general, the area is considered accessible for transport - Rublevskoye Highway passes through its territory, there is a metro station, buses and minibuses run.

The area is located in the Northwestern Administrative District and is rightfully considered the most favorable in terms of ecology. There are a variety of water bodies and many forests. In addition to fresh air and beautiful landscapes, equipped beaches and year-round outdoor activities are available to local residents: in summer - on water rides, in winter - on skis. It is not surprising that young families with children are especially eager to rent an apartment in Strogino.For them, there is an appropriate social infrastructure, and friendly neighbors, most of which belong to the sphere of intellectual labor. The ideal picture is spoiled only by certain transport difficulties when traveling to the center.
