Russian TYPICAL (Family) Apartment Tour: Could You Live Here?

[@TravellingwithRussell]

[@calvincandie3625]

@@DecievedREALITY999 If you take into account the cost of food, fuel, transport and utilities, then the standard of living is about the same, but if you receive medical care, then Russia comes out ahead. In the United States, people pay a lot of money for medical care, even if the disease is not serious. Here in Russia, free medicine is at a fairly high level, but even if you go to a private clinic, it will cost ten times cheaper than in the United States.

[@DecievedREALITY999]

@@calvincandie3625 It’s true that medical costs in the U.S. are notoriously high, but comparing Russia’s “free” healthcare system to the U.S. ignores the fact that healthcare quality and accessibility can vary dramatically. While you might pay less for treatment in Russia, many essential medicines and advanced treatments are simply not as available, and the healthcare infrastructure can be far from ideal. Plus, if Russia’s healthcare system is so superior, why do many Russians still seek treatment abroad? Just because something is “cheaper” doesn’t necessarily mean it’s better

[@calvincandie3625]

@ No bro, regarding the availability of medicines, you are very much mistaken, everything is available and the choice is huge, if you are interested, I can make a video for you from the nearest pharmacy with all the prices.

[@АлексейКириллов-н3ю]

One thing must be understood: the majority of Russian residents live in their own homes. In Russia, this is about 80% of the population. (In Germany, for example, this figure is about 40%), Many have received ownership of apartments for free, according to the Law on Privatization of July 4, 1991. Therefore, the question of housing by type is: where to live? many Russians don't have an acute problem. Of course, there is always a need to improve your living conditions, move to more spacious housing or change your city. There are many options for purchasing housing: loans, mortgages, equity participation, maternity capital. Wealthy entrepreneurs from different cities of Russia often want to live closer to the capital, which is why prices for buying and renting housing in these areas are so expensive (by Russian standards). There are areas that are quite decent for living, but not very popular. And there, you could buy rural scrap for $5,000. My friends bought one. Not fancy, of course, but quite habitable. Well, in new buildings and prestigious areas, prices may not be small. The cost of buying a home and the amount of rent in Russia may vary by 8-10! times. Therefore, you need to compare more or less comparable parameters, and not the way some people do it here. Compare a villa in Miami with a wigwam on a Minnesota reservation))

Finally something more typical for Moscow region... not those bloody hotel rooms that pose as flats. Quite typical mid budget furnishing for urban Russia. Considering kids, majority of furniture would be replaced in like a decade anyway, well outside of lobby/kitchen areas probably. Although non separated toilet from bathroom is a nightmare, well at least for any family with kids. People tend to avoid those if possible in Russia, hence the second bathroom. It is rarely treated as a guest bathroom even if there are 2 in a flat.

[@mandrews1245]

This apartment seems to be an upgrade to the standard. Only because you asked: 1. Small bathroom called 2nd bath or 1/2 bath, but a guest bath would not have kitty litter or washing machine. 2. Bedroom generally called Master bedroom or Main bedroom but there are a lot of different names depending upon what part of USA you live. A Master bedroom generally has its own integrated bathroom. 3. Kitchen is large and cupboards well designed. However, it generally is not appreciated the drawer contents are shown to visitors (us). But you can point out built in trash, small appliance cubbies, special corner racks, soap and hot water dispensers but not where it is connected under counter. 4. The "bench" is generally something in a workshop. In kitchens we refer to the top as a 'counter'. 5. USA is not on the metric system. Good to also say what square footage is. I think they have spent considerable money to customize this apartment for their family. Although your summary at the end, would lead me to consider these built-ins were part of the original occupation arrangement.??? To rent an apartment of this size in Toronto, Canada would be approximately $3,500 - $4,500 furnished US$ per month. Sale price around $2.5 million US$ unfurnished. Thanks Russell. Great to see how people in other countries live.

[@steved1387]

I think this family planned their layout wisely. The daughters have nice large bedrooms. The hallway TV room is perfect for its purpose. Rather than wasting space in large, mostly unused family rooms, they built a huge kitchen, rarely seen in Russia. Large kitchens are typical here in the USA, so I'm glad to see the idea catching on in Russia, too. By comparison, I have a 2-room 76 square meter apartment in a mid-size Wisconsin city. It's in a very old building, and it costs $930 a month, which is lower than average for such a flat in this town. The finishes and appliances are very much inferior to this Russian apartment, and of course, I do not have glorious Moscow at my disposal, either. Instead, I'd have to drive 90 minutes to Milwaukee, which is not on the level of Moscow though it does have its good points. So please, Russell, more family apartments!

Сейчас у нас нет ипотеки. Ждем окончания войны и будем брать квартиру побольше.

🇨🇦 Canada 🕊️✍️ Greetings Russell❗😊 😑 Thank you Russell for ALL your efforts to respond to our 🙏 cry about 👀 seeing a family apartment! 🤗 😑 Thank you to your wife also and her friend and family to receive us in their home; it is a great help for those of us who are envisioning a move to 🇷🇺 Russia {comparing apartments.} ~ We immediately could 'breathe' as you opened the door ! ... MI ! the SPACE ! 😀 All was great including the $ price, similar to 🇨🇦 Québec > in the country/village 😊

[@stevie-pea]

🇨🇦 👋 First time commenting / subscribed for awhile now . Finally something that's not just a hotel room being called an apartment . Keep bringing us more variety . Ty .

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Thanks, I am trying to make videos in larger places. A lot of the previous places were with Yuri who is a property developer of studio apartments. I have told him to show me some larger places. )) Thanks for taking the time to comments. I appreciate it.

[@PhyllisDrouin]

That apartment is amazing. I love it. In the US that could easily rent for triple the price! I love the cabinets. Compare to the U S Russia is far more advanced in the transportation, multi living building with stores within walking distance of the home. If I weren't so old I would move to Russia. The countryside is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Love your channel.

Do you not understand the salary difference? When comparing rent costs you can’t say it good value until you understand the salary differences

[@randykester8861]

Happy New Year! Really enjoy your channel. This, for me, is nicest apartment you have shared. And I would assume, price increases closer to center of Moscow. This apartment- very smartly designed. Love kitchen and all 3 bedrooms very well done..Thank you and family for sharing…Also, for location purchase does the local school reputation play a role in where to buy as it does in the US?

[@Xxsav29-p5n]

that's more perfect then a hotel, definitely a very high standard apartment.

[@TravellingwithRussell]

The finish inside was very nice. My wife is jealous of the kitchen.

[@lauren6889]

Wow Russell i hope the BULLIES feel better, no idea what they thought they would gain

[@alexandrasoares4878]

Thank you so much

[@Dawneight]

Great video Russell! I loved how cozy it is~ Any chance you can make a video about a Family House in Moscow? Thank you so much!

[@griswald7156]

Much more spacious than my place in the UK…

[@TravellingwithRussell]

The same, when you compare it to my place also.

[@griswald7156]

@ it looks to me like Beverley Hills 90210…

[@Gohomenow-e2b]

Looks great

[@TravellingwithRussell]

It really was. ))

[@dbailey8805]

That IS a nice apartment. Thank you for the tour. You mentioned that the heat gets very hot and sometimes people end up opening windows . How expensive is the power / electricity bill monthly ?

[@TravellingwithRussell]

The water, electricity for this apartment would be about $75 per month. That covers the heating as well. As that's only seasonal.

[@dbailey8805]

@ wow ! That’s great. Thank you .

[@ФёклаБатьковна]

за всю коммуналку (электроэнергия, отопления, вода, вывоз мусоры и пр.) мы платим за двоих в 1-к. квартире 5000 рублей.

[@MariaLopez-fv2wh]

Great looking apartment and great price! I pay $1,300 a month and it's way smaller in the US. I loved the kitchen also 😁Ty

[@blackvikingeire]

Finally, an apartment with international standards in terms of square footage.😊

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Absolutely. More rooms to have to clean and dust.

[@StanleyVaughn-xk3wv]

Great!!! Thank you!!!!

[@АнтонТюменцев-ь7л]

Больше такие многометровых жилищ. Жилище в 20 кв. метров есть лютая жесть.

[@halkak7967]

Тем более что и заявленная цена аренды в области радует, в отличие от наших московских расценок за жилье такой площади. Интересно, сколько в среднем платеж по ЕПД и счет за электричество получается в этой квартире?

[@sergek2172]

Да, это видео стоило снять действительно хотя бы для того, чтобы отметить уникальный январь в Москве. Мне 60 лет, я родился в Мск, но такой погоды на такой длительный срок без перерыва я не помню даже близко.

[@metroudelnaya]

2007-й было ещё теплее. По крайней мере в СПБ.

[@VladimirListov]

​@@metroudelnayaзима 07-08 подтверждаю из Москвы

[@AndreiBerezin]

Сочувствую. Омск, шикарный снежный покров.

[@sergek2172]

@VladimirListov да, точно, мне говорили. Я в другом месте ту зиму провёл, поэтому не помню.

[@frog58079]

Люди помнят погоду максимум пару лет. Так рождаются мифы. Была и такая погода и всякая разная, и не так давно.

[@alienfrommarss]

Beautiful, Im curious about "noise accordance" in apartments. Are the walls insulated well? Are there bylaws about loud noises in apartments? Restrictions on times when someone can be "louder" ? 😊

[@ФёклаБатьковна]

Да, есть. У нас существует режим тишины. В будние дни запрещено шуметь: ночью с 21:00 до 8:00; днём с 13:00 до 15:00. В выходные дни тишина должна соблюдаться: ночью с 22:00 до 10:00; днём с 13:00 до 15:00.

[@vaunmalone3064]

The principle or primary bedroom Russell 😂its a wonderful apartment.

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Thanks, i know recently there was a lot of people not like the word "master" bedroom.

[@Hkchinese888]

'Master' or 'Main' in Australia

[@jimbotron70]

​@@TravellingwithRussell Woke trends...

[@moetocafe]

master bedroom sounds absolutely understandable and I think it's the common way to call it
