When I moved to live in the USA 11 years ago and bought a car my dad asked me "why did you by a car?" meaning "why did you spend so much money, you've just arrived there?". They couldn't get it that it was impossible to move around the city without a car. I rented a 1 BD apartment for $900, and every year the monthly rent would increase by $30-$50. Plus of course utilities, internet, electricity, insurance. I paid almost half of my monthly income just for all that. Now I'm back in Russia in my own apartment. Before I moved to the U.S. I used to complain about everything (almost everyone in Russia is so critical about pretty much everything in our country). Now I really appreciate what we have here compared to the USA.

Your problem while in the US was that you must have had a very low paying job if your rent and utilities were over half your salary. Plus in most of the US you don’t have to live in the freezing cold most of the year, that’s worth every cent to me. When you have a very low wage in the US you need to have a roommate to share expenses with, as you climb the ladder to better paying jobs then you can live on your own and start a family or whatever it is you dream of, plus with a spouse, that brings another income into the house hold. To many people expect to come to America and just start at the top without working for it!!!

It does not mean that in Russia tbere is no upward mobility, but you don’t have to start with shit life, sharing rooms with complete strangers some of whom could be weirdos. It is sad, that you think its ok to wait for five years or whatever before you can move into your own one roomed flat. You are supporting a slave driving system.

What I like about Russian urban development is that all the apartments and homes are very close to schools, hospitals, supermarkets, and churches.

What is not mentioned is that despite looking not so great, these low price "value" big apartment complexes for common low income people are nothing like similar in U.S. or Western Europe. Those are no ghetos and very safe, no crime, suspicious elements and drug addicts wandering around. Just very basic entry level housing for ordinary people with bellow average income, nothing fancy but absolutely safe. In USA such places would be ghetto 100% guaranteed with lots of crime, people smoking weed on every corner and in general scary place to be 😄

I don't live in Russia,but my country was also in USSR And i wanted you to tell that sometimes they used to leave syringes with drugs in children's playgrounds, in city streets - But I don't see them in children's playgrounds anymore It also depends on city districts For example,in old ones,there are a lot of people who drink,smoke at the entrance of the apartment and often they don't clean it

Drunk young people near entrances to apartment building is nothing unusual. But didnt see them bothering anyone. Smoking and drinking in public is not a huge crime in my book. However you can not compare that to HOODS in U.S. or ghettos in West European cities. Not even close. Those are actually scary places 😁 With real criminals, gangs and thugs all around. All sorts of violent crimes happening there non stop. These are truly disgusting scary places and theres a lot of them in U.S. ! Dont think there are any hoods at all in any ex. USSR countries, thank God. Gopniks in some areas can still be found (Moldova) like a dying dinosaurs, maybe you can find a few here and there still, but nobody is robbing and shooting no one in broad day (or night) light or trading drugs on sidewalks, doing drive by shootings. This is the quality i value more than anything, no hoods or ghettos is by todays standards a near paradise society ! 😁

So, it's a lot cheaper in the US. $300 is around 60% of the russian monthly wages, while %1500 is a much lower percentage of the monthly wages in Chicago.

[@user-tc9sk4ei9y]

@@nikomollov4950 well, yes, but not quite. First of all, 500$ is a median wage in Russia on average, in Moscow region it would be 750$ iirc. In less economically active regions the rent prices are lower. Second, median wage calculation does not count in the overtime payments and bonuses which are widely popular among russian companies because of capitalism (less payments to the social security funds, for example, and more easy to cut one's actual wage in order to keep the workers in line). And the third one is such wages are the reason the russian labour market has a shortage of like 5 million workers, because all those lower paid jobs are for poor migrants or someone who contributes additional money for the family like old people working to raise something above tiny pensions or housewives who are generally provided by their husbands. Those are not the target group for rent market because in Russia like 80% of families own someking of a real estate. Rentiers in Russia target some opportunist folks who comes to major cities for carieer, so they do have money, or students who live off their parent's money, or something. If the real estate market in Russia was like the US one, the prices would be eventually creep down due to much larger supply of rent apartments (basically, the number of rent apartments would be at least tripled in that case).

You must understand that salary range in Russia is notably lower, but in general life style in big cyties like Moskow, St.Pitersburg, Kazan etc. are better than in EU and USA for same social classes, i was traveling a bit until recently.

These are luxury accommodations compared to the places I stayed in Moscow 15 years ago. The apartments I've been all had the rubber floor covering with tile or carpet patterns printed on them. None of them had a heating unit, they were all heated via exposed PVC pipes with hot water flowing through them. They made the place so hot that even in the dead of winter I had to keep the windows open. Several buildings did not have elevators and nowhere in Moscow did I see a handicapped ramp, so I guess if you're disabled, you're permanently trapped in your flat. On the plus side, there were packs of friendly (and very healthy) feral dogs that would wander around the streets and befriend you for a few minutes to see if you'd feed them.

Знаю это место. До ближайшей станции откуда можно сесть на скотовозку или поехать на белее менее приличной электричке 20 минут ходьбы. Как от балкона до церкви и ещё столько же. В общем было бы норм, если не путь до работы. Ну а пахнущие ссаными кошками маршрутки естественно всегда битком в нужное время утром.

@@Fravashi1 У вас маршрутки? Все пригороды Питера обслуживаются большими рейсовыми автобусами.На крайний случай это ПАЗы.

@@volgo--balt Да, там где снимал Рассел основной транспорт до ближайшего метро это вонючая скотовозка газель со сломанной вентиляцией и классическими абу-водителями. Ну сам знаешь, вечно недовольных безналом, собратьев "па брацки", гены экстремального гонщика и.т.д. Все как в рунетах. Это от станции, откуда 90 процентов едут. На трассе конечно же есть автобусы, но это не апрелевские уже. Ну а ПАЗы это то ещё шоу. Сделаны для инвалидов, но никто ни разу ни одного инвалида в них не видел.

@@Fravashi1 там станция МЦД. На самом деле и внутри МКАДа можно аналогичные цены найти, если прямо искать и не быть мигрантом. Есть отдельная категория собственников которые сдают своим. И это не вопрос нацизма, а скорее желание сохранить жилье. У меня знакомая на Новом Арбате уже лет 7 снимает квартиру в многоэтажке за 30 000 рублей. Бабушка просто всем довольна, никого не водит, тихая знакомая. )))

Here in rural western North Dakota this apartment would be $1600 per month. You would begin by paying an $80 for your background and credit check and that wont be refunded if you fail the check, so of course abuses are common with property managers nitpicking tenants qualifications to reject them and keep the 80. If you pass, you will pay first month, last month, and a damage deposit, to total about $4200 to move in, and you would have to sign a lease committing you legally to a minimum stay of 6 months. Water and garbage would be included. Gas and/or electricity would average $200 per month. Add in all the other expenses of life, and you'll need to be a married couple both with jobs or take in a roommate. The cost of childcare for working moms is typically $2000 per month, so there is a trend for moms to stay home and live on a very tight budget. Income tax savings would be about $400 per year for each child claimed, which helps offset the cost of children just a little. Our standard of living has been declining since the early 70s. Most American marraiges end in divorce, and money stress is one of the top 2 reasons. I hope parents will be mindful to shield their children from discussions of budget stresses.

I’ve never like apartment life. Now I live out in the boonies with lots of space. But for the past few years construction has gone wild and the city is once again encroaching upon me.

[@robertcuminale1212]

Indeed. I live in what was once a rural area 11 miles from the center of Charlotte, NC. I've lived there for about 45 years and we were annexed into the city 43 years ago. We're in a forest and there are lots of animals. But, about 15 years ago apartments started to be built around us. Thousands of them. The crime rate is high, traffic is horrible and there are many rude people The shoplifting has caused one of the oldest supermarkets to remove the self service checkouts. Breaking and entering into homes and theft of gardening equipment have become common. We're retired now and don't want to move. We just take precautions to minimize exposing ourselves to the new environment. Many of us are disabled or fragile and some of us are armed and have installed alarm systems. The city has changed considerably and politically is now run by Democrats which explains a lot. Higher taxes to support subsidized housing and still we have homeless people on the streets and in the rural areas. I find at least 3-4 syringes on the street every month. I had to call Medic for a Xylazine addict who had passed out in front of a grocery store. He was covered with infected sores, common for users of this horse tranquilizer. I feel like I'm living in Miami and New York again.

[@brentadams9917]

I lived in Russia for 2 years. It has now been a decade since we were there. We lived in St. Petersburg and in Velikiye Novgorod. We rented small, but upscale apartments in both cities. The costs were quite reasonable, but I think it only possible to make comparisons to the costs of apartments in other countries when you normalize those costs to the income that is available from job opportunities. Most of the Russian families we met were struggling to make enough money to meet their basic expenses. A typical salary might be $400 per month, in those times. In families both parents typically needed to work to provide the basics for themselves and their children. And I noticed that some of the families we met were purchasing food of lower nutritional value to make ends meet. My permanent home is in the USA. Some of my countrymen have the same challenges that were faced by these Russian families - making enough money to provide for a family is difficult for many. It seemed to us that the cost of food was about the same in the USA and in Russia.

The glass block to the bedroom is necessary because the bedroom has no windows.

Cool. I really enjoy these reviews as it helps understand. Actually a nice apartment in my view. Being older I now live in a house with more space and land but when I first lived alone my apartment was way more expensive and very much smaller... (in Munich Germany). What is interesting is the style of furnishing, Like it. Thanks. Alex.,.
