My TYPICAL Moscow Apartment, With PRICE 👀

[@ТатьянаТатьянина-н5п]

Это, конечно, совсем 0:28 не типичная квартира. Этот дом построен в 1949 году архитектором Жолтовским. За него он получил Сталинскую премию. Так что он один такой. И эти двери из каждой комнаты в другую, вызывают много споров. Я жила в этом доме, только в другом подъезде. Такие же старинные деревянные двери и шкаф в спальне с выходом в коридор. В этом есть какой-то дух истории. Хорошо, что Вам нравится. К стати, в этом доме жили известные личности, о чем повествуют таблички на стенах.

[@olka3556]

Да ладно ….. мы жили на проспекте мира 120-138 ( угол мало московской) в бОльшей по размеру квартире но в таком же по качеству доме .. только планировка была по круче и солярий у нас был , и столовая отдельная и кладовки, и 2 туалета и другими примочками , какие имелись и имеются с сталинках Я вижу этот дом как типичный для своей категории .. таких очень много по центру Москвы

My 24 year old granddaughter lives in a rented tenement flat in Bridgeton, Glasgow, a less salubrious part of the city, it’s 2 bedrooms with small kitchen and small bathroom and costs about the same as you’re paying for the centre of Moscow. However, her electricity (no gas) is more than £150 per month. She then has Council Tax of around £120 per month then internet to pay and that can vary but is normally around £30 upwards per month. It’s hard for the young in the U.K. these days and food prices have risen in the last 2 or 3 years. Your Moscow apartment looks fine for the money with a lot less overheads.

What I like about Russia is the reasonable prices for rental housing and utilities. I don’t know of a single European country where they gave an adequate price for housing. I don’t live in Moscow, but I live in Saratov - there is such a city on the Volga River. My apartment has a total area, including a balcony and a loggia, 106 square meters or 1141 square feet. The apartment consists of a living room, two bedrooms, a hallway, a kitchen, a shower room and a water closet. And I pay for my apartment, not counting tax, 8,500 rubles in winter and 5,000 rubles in summer. The annual property tax is 9,000 rubles. The apartment is located on the outskirts of the city and next to my house there is a large park that looks like a forest, or a forest that looks like a park. Many townspeople always relax there and there are many songbirds there.

Hello everyone, as a muscovite I can tell, it’s not a typical flat at all. Typical flats you will find in cheaper panel or block buildings of 5-14 floors, built in 1950-1980 (average dates) in so called ‘sleeping areas’. This building belongs to Stalin period and is built with far better materials (bricks) and approach (overall architecture) so till today people wish to buy an apartment there but it’s too expensive. Also you’ll find such type of buildings closer to the city center,second reason why it’s so expensive. Thanks for the video, it’s always interesting to see Stalinki inside!

Very interesting apartment tour. It would be interesting to know how much apartments cost to buy in Moscow.

I am impressed by the size of the apartment and the low rent and low running costs.

Apart of this size in this type of a house in this area could be 300+ K usd.

Простите, но это не очень правильный совет, на мой взгляд. Вода не идеально чистая. Я тоже живу в центре Мск на данный момент. Сразу ничего плохого не случится, но может быть накопительный плохой эффект. От неё на стенках чайника слишком много накипи.. В Питере тоже не очень хорошая вода. Надо либо фильтровать воду через качественный фильтр + кипятить, либо покупать. Ещё есть вариант заказать домой кулер, как в офисах, и доставку воды на дом в больших ёмкостях.

The apartment is very big and a great price for its size along with the utilities it is still very reasonable. Apartments here in the US in big cities are terribly over-priced for what you get. Most apartments these days start at around $1,500 a month and do not include gas, electricity, internet, trash collection or water and many others go higher in price based on additional bedrooms! Also. the view from your apartment is lovely as well. I enjoyed the video and information. Thanks!

I was reading all of these "love it" "wonderful apartment comments" and then got to this one: "This is, of course, not a typical apartment at all. This house was built in 1949 by the architect Zholtovsky. For it he received the Stalin Prize. So he's the only one. And these doors from each room to another cause a lot of controversy. I lived in this house, only in a different entrance." This is MUCH more in keeping with Russian apartments I have seen on KZbin. There's another guy named Russell who gets the realty agents' keys to lots of them to show, and they are a lot different than this... dingy, depressing places I wouldn't live for any amount of money including their whole neighborhoods. Those are the typical Moscow apartments.

There are many modern apartments in Moscow too, but they are usually more expensive and in new buildings.

The economics are surprisingly favourable for a European to go live in Moscow. We own a house in Kent and an apartment in Nice. Our combined overheads are expensive at around £4000 pcm before elective spends but no complaints, we feel very fortunate to have fallen on our feet late in life. Moscow renting looks good value compared with any metro area in U.K. Loving your work, Jim. I like that your videos mesh with what I know from two Russian friends, who tell me that Moscow and St Petersburg, where most career minded people live, are peaceful, well run, attractive places to live and which are affordable for most professionals. Admittedly, my pals are both lawyers, so they do ok. It’s pure chance, that’s not my field & anyway, I’m retired. We in the West have been subjected to astonishing degrees of propaganda against many other nations, notably Russia. My friends do say that they have to watch their language. They believe they’re watched even when abroad. I used to think that was paranoia, but I don’t anymore! Because I too am watched whether we’re in U.K. or in France. That’s just the way it is at the moment.

I grew up in Moscow, left it in early 90s, since 2002 we live in California. What I can see it’s not a “typical” Moscow condo. Based on the look of the building and its location it’s what we call “Stalin’s building”. This was elite living in the Soviet times. To get a condo in such building you should be on some leading position in gov or be some kind of celebrity from science, theatre, artist, etc. No lumpens ever got to live in such buildings. The quality of the building was the best, and that’s why these buildings are still in a good shape. The condo was remodeled completely in 2000s, I guess based on the style and the furniture. The original layout was different. The entrance was leading to the long corridor and many doors to the isolated rooms and the bathroom and toilet were separated. Regarding rent you pay about 75000 rub monthly which is very low for such size and location but the owner gives this rent just because they wanted you as a tenant 😏. I would love to have such tenant too 😂 single, foreign, no kids, no pets… dream tenant! The agent who brought you here got huge cut I’m sure. Keep in mind that the average income in Moscow is around 100K rub, so such rent is not affordable for the average person. In California I would pay about $3500-5000 per month for such size in a good safe place but the income there is much higher too, so everything is relative.
