Although, independent sociological surveys of citizens give Moscow the first place in the ranking of the best cities for living, considering it the most convenient city for living.

The state of the road industry is estimated at 8 positions, the health and safety sector is entrenched at 14 positions. Not such a joyful situation affected the education sector, occupying the last position in the ranking. Perhaps due to the fierce competition for a place in prestigious educational institutions, and public education is not valued so highly.

(15 ratings, average: 3,93 out of 5)

The rating of places that are considered the best for permanent residence in Russia includes cities with developed infrastructures, high wages and good ecology. Depending on the composition of the family and the age of its members, when choosing a place to move, you need to pay attention to different aspects. For example, climate and the presence of educational institutions; for the elderly - the level of health care and social benefits.

For the vast majority of people, the most important thing when moving is:

• Ecology. Clean air and a large number of "green zones" in the city minimizes the likelihood of developing respiratory diseases among its residents. No frequent waste emissions from industrial enterprises will allow people to avoid allergic reactions of the body to potentially dangerous substances.
• Climate. Depending on the individual predisposition of a person, he will feel better in the south, north, or when living in the climate of the middle zone. An unsuitable place of residence can adversely affect the health of people. For this reason, hormonal failure or a sharp weakening of the immune system can occur.
• Infrastructure. The extent to which a city is adapted to ensure that its residents are provided not only with shops with essential goods, but also with entertainment, shopping centers, schools and kindergartens, reflects the level of infrastructure development in it.
• Employment and wages. A large number of jobs, as well as timely and high wages, give residents of a particular city the confidence that they will be able to provide themselves and their children with food, clothing and medicine if necessary.
• Crime level. The low level of crime and the absence of emergencies, for example, an accident at an industrial enterprise, are perceived by people as a guarantee of a quiet life and the safety of themselves and their loved ones.
• Real estate value. Affordable real estate prices in the city attract people to move to it.
• Average cost of living. This criterion includes the cost of food, utility tariffs, the price of clothes, medicine and education.

By analyzing this information, people can seriously think about moving and determine for themselves where it is better to live in Russia. In this case, each will have their own selection criteria. Consider the advantages of different cities in the country from the point of view of various categories of citizens.

Favorable cities for relocation

1. What is the average salary level of people in the region.
2. How developed is the infrastructure and improvement of the city.
3. Is it heavily polluted environment cities.
4. What is the quality of medical care and education in the region.

1. Krasnodar.
2. Moscow.
3. Kazan.
4. St. Petersburg.

Regions of the Russian Federation participating in the resettlement program

While our compatriots are thinking in which city to move to live in Russia, for foreign citizens who are native speakers of the Russian language, there is a special resettlement program. According to it, foreigners can receive a Russian passport and assistance for moving in the form of lifting equipment, provided they live in one of the less populated regions of the country. These regions have received priority status for resettlement:

• Far East;
• Kamchatka;
• Amur and Khabarovsk Territories;
• Buryatia;
• Sakhalin.

Sochi

The city of Sochi with its subtropical climate is known throughout Russia as the most popular resort. Everyone who rests here involuntarily thinks about how wonderful it would be to move here from their city for permanent residence. The gentle climate of Sochi is due to its favorable location: the Caucasus Range protects the city from sudden temperature changes. Warm weather prevails here more than 200 days a year. In summer there is no sweltering heat, and winters are mild and frost-free. The resort town is very beautiful. Everywhere palm trees, chic flower beds, fountains, amusement parks. The following factors oppose moving to Sochi:

• work in the city is seasonal, there is practically no work in the winter, there is no industry;
• exorbitant prices for goods and services;
• very expensive housing to buy or rent.

Therefore, just like that, having rushed off the bat, it will be difficult to move and “survive” in Sochi. This city is suitable for those who have a remote source of income, for example, a profitable business in their former city of residence.

Where is the available property?

Another important factor that is useful to consider when people are thinking about how to choose a city to move to is affordability. square meter residential real estate. Moving is always associated with the sale of housing in the former city of residence and the purchase of housing in the new city. The following rules apply here.

1. Proximity to the center: in Moscow and the Moscow region, the most expensive housing. The further, the cheaper.
2. Size of the city: the larger, the more jobs there, which means more expensive real estate.
3. Proximity to the resort area: buying your home within the popular resorts is quite expensive.

Based on statistics for the 4th quarter of 2018, the cost per square meter of housing in different regions of the country is presented in the table.

There is another important criterion for choosing a region of residence - this is the cost of the shopping basket. This includes a basic set of goods and services. According to this criterion, it is cheapest to live in Kursk, Lipetsk, Saratov or in the Belgorod region.

Big cities

Those who are thinking about where to move to live in Russia to earn money make their choice in favor of large cities. The first on the list, of course, are Moscow and St. Petersburg, but besides them, there are several more cities where you can find a job with a high salary.

Moscow

The Russian capital rightfully occupies a leading position in the top cities for moving. Almost all of them are concentrated here thanks to the endless stream of citizens coming for employment from neighboring countries. Only according to official data, the population of Moscow now totals more than 12 million people.

The main advantage of the capital region, which attracts thousands of provincials and guests from other countries to this city, is a large number of jobs with decent pay. People with a variety of qualifications, with and without work experience, with higher education and without it, they will be able to find a well-paid job in Moscow.

However, there is another side of the coin - life in the city is very expensive. Starting from the cost of housing (a one-room apartment even in the Moscow region can no longer be found for less than 2 million rubles, and a rented apartment costs within the minimum wage in the city - 30 thousand rubles) and ending with expensive travel and food, all this takes a significant part of earnings. In addition to the high cost, there are also traffic jams, so city residents spend a lot of their time commuting to and from work.

It is worth adding here the bad ecology, which makes the capital city not the most suitable place for families with small children to live. Despite this, foreigners aspire to Moscow every year, for whom the main thing is to work with permanent residence in Russia. There are also many students here - the most prestigious universities of the country, such as Moscow State University, MGIMO, VGIK, etc. are located in the city. The bustle in the city never subsides, so life here is not suitable for everyone.

St. Petersburg

The northern capital, the Russian Venice, the cultural capital, the "metropolis for the soul", the city of rain - all these names have been assigned to St. Petersburg and characterize its features. The number of people living in the city is 2 times less than in Moscow (slightly more than 5 million), and the average monthly income here is lower (40 thousand rubles). But a lot of people still come to this city for permanent residence. Someone is attracted by the beauty of St. Petersburg: palaces, canals, fountains, drawbridges, squares. Someone appreciates this city more for the abundance of the most prestigious educational institutions, including military universities famous throughout the country.

Petersburg is not inherent in the bustle of Moscow, the life of the city is always calm and measured. The same features are characteristic of the mentality of Petersburgers. People of a special poetic warehouse, who are not afraid of the eternally rainy weather, will find this city the most acceptable place for themselves. Well, if someone didn’t like life in the city, consider a few more places where to move from St. Petersburg to live in Russia.

Yekaterinburg

Yekaterinburg is a city with a million inhabitants, which was called the "capital of the Urals". A well-developed industry and a service market that is not inferior to it in development in Yekaterinburg makes it as easy as possible for people to find a job. People of various specialties will be able to find a job here without any problems, while the average salary is very pleasing - 35-40 thousand rubles a month. Despite the fact that Yekaterinburg has the status of a millionaire, housing prices here are very affordable. The level of medicine and education in the city is also at a high level.

Krasnodar

Included in the top most popular cities for moving. Every year, thousands of new residents buy housing here, despite this their number has not yet grown to a million, but fluctuates between 800-900 thousand, while Krasnodar residents do not complain about the bustle of the city. Settlers are attracted here by the mild climate of the southern city, good ecology due to the absence of large industrial enterprises, land fertility and abundance of crops, and a long warm summer. There are excellent conditions for developing your own business, and the average salary exceeds 30 thousand rubles. Most Russians choose Krasnodar because of the proximity of the sea coast, which can be reached from the city in a couple of hours.

Tyumen

Ranked among the best Russian cities with a high standard of living, so many people dream of moving here to earn money. The city is located in Western Siberia, the number of inhabitants is more than 700 thousand people. Every tenth citizen of Tyumen is employed in the oil and gas sector, which is very developed here. Hence the highest salaries, which exceed even those in Moscow.

The average monthly income in the city exceeds 40 thousand rubles, but even ordinary engineers and other highly qualified personnel receive 100 thousand rubles. A wealthy region can afford to invest in the development of infrastructure, housing and communal services, urban improvement and social projects, so this is also at the highest level.

Kaliningrad

This Russian city known for its unique geographic location. Being part of Russia, it is located at a distance from it, in the central part of Europe on the Baltic coast. The economy is well developed here - thanks to oil production, the largest amber deposit and shipbuilding.

Therefore, there will be no problems with employment and getting a decent salary. The city is famous rich history. There is also a European influence here. Kaliningrad is multinational, because representatives of many nationalities live in the city.

Moscow is a large metropolis and life in different areas can vary significantly. There are both elite places of residence and territories that are more like provincial cities.

When choosing a place to live in the capital, you should focus on the criteria that are important for a particular person. Which metropolitan areas are recognized as the best to live in 2020?

What you need to know

As in any big city in Moscow there are places more suitable for entertainment, but there are areas where it is better to live. The choice of the best area for living, as a rule, is based on the state of infrastructure.

If you evaluate the area of ​​​​residence by infrastructure, then a place is considered convenient, from where you can walk to the necessary organizations in 10-15 minutes. That is, there is a school nearby, Kindergarten, clinic, grocery store, pharmacy.

In addition, areas convenient for living should have at least a minimum of entertainment. It’s good if there is a cafe or restaurant, a cinema, entertainment centers, parks and more within walking distance.

Transport accessibility is also essential. The presence of a metro station near the house and bus stop significantly increases the comfort of living.

If we evaluate the convenience of life in Moscow by district, then Arbat, Tverskaya and Zamoskvorechye are recognized as the most convenient. The following districts are also among the best - Tagansky, Basmanny, Meshchansky.

High positions are occupied by Kotlovka, Cheryomushki, Savelovsky district, Konkovo, Medvedkovo. The bottom lines of the rating are Donskoy and Danilovsky districts, Nekrasovka, Severny and Molzhaninovsky districts.

But still more often the choice of a convenient area for living in Moscow means the choice of an administrative district.

Definitions

Moscow is divided into ten districts, which were formed to simplify the administrative management of individual territories. Each individual district covers several districts.

This takes into account historical, geographical, urban features, socio-economic characteristics, the location of transport communications, the availability of engineering infrastructure.

The territory of Moscow includes 130 districts, as well as 16 rural settlements, 2 urban settlements and 2 urban districts. Obviously, the assessment of each region separately is not very appropriate.

Therefore, in the capital's real estate market, the criteria for the place of residence are evaluated in relation to the administrative district.

What criteria should be taken into account

When choosing a district (administrative district) of residence, you need to pay attention to the following facts:

• ecological situation;
• transport accessibility;
• availability of developed infrastructure;
• population density;
• landscaping;
• crime level.

Often, when choosing a district of residence, people are guided by an indicator of prestige. In fact, not always elite residential complexes are comfortable for life.

The lack of proximity to public transport or poor infrastructure at times reduce the attractiveness of the most prestigious housing.

Construction is actively underway in Moscow. And often high-rise buildings are built in environmentally unfavorable areas.

It is unlikely that the developer will inform the potential buyer about the existing disadvantages. Therefore, choosing future housing, you need to independently evaluate the place of residence from various positions of convenience and comfort.

It will be useful to check the availability of all necessary facilities - hospitals, schools, shops, etc.

If such verification is not possible, you can focus on the rating of Moscow districts that are convenient for living according to real estate experts.

What areas of Moscow are considered good for living

The best areas for living in Moscow are determined taking into account the cumulative assessment of various criteria.

However, it is impossible to single out one of the best or worst districts of Moscow. Any rating is compiled on the basis of some specific criteria.

At the same time, some pros and cons may simply not be taken into account. Therefore, it is more expedient to evaluate the place of residence as a whole, taking into account all significant factors.

Central District

The Central District of Moscow is considered the most expensive area of ​​​​residence. Housing is constantly being built here in the premium and business segments.

There is a lot of secondary housing here, while the average cost per square meter is 350,000 rubles. Land is expensive and there is no affordable housing.

Basically, apartments in the Central Administrative District are purchased by business owners, top managers of companies, and oil industry workers.

But with all the prestige of living in the Central District, one cannot but note the problems with the environment and transport.

There are no industrial enterprises in the Central Administrative District. But 90% of atmospheric pollution is due to the number of cars, in which the Central District is the champion.

The state of the air in terms of pollution level is three times higher than the permissible norms. Among other things, the Central District has a high population density.

And it's not only locals but also a large number of employees of various institutions. But it should be noted that the districts of the Central Administrative District are recognized as the best for families with children when it comes to education and sports.

The most elite schools and kindergartens are concentrated in Khamovniki, and in Krylatskoye there is the most big number children's sports sections.

If you choose according to the criterion of infrastructure development or transport accessibility, then the Central Administrative District is undoubtedly the leader. But in terms of ecology, this is far from the best area for living.

Southwestern District

The Southwestern District is recognized as densely populated. However, in comparison with the Central Administrative District, the situation with transport is better here.

Successful design of the transport network is expressed in a large number of detours. The district is remote from the center, but if necessary, there are no problems with transport accessibility.

From an environmental point of view, everything is fine in the SWAD - there are no industrial zones, and a third of the district is represented by forest park zones. The air in the district is recognized as the cleanest in Moscow.

In addition to parks, there are ponds, lakes and small rivers. There are not many new buildings here. Mostly expensive luxury housing is being built.

The main buildings are "Khrushchev" and "Brezhnevka". A square meter of housing in the secondary market will cost about 210,000 rubles.

Western District

After the Central District in terms of solidity, prestige and comfort comes the Western District. The transport situation here is also good.

This is due to the presence of large highways - Vernadsky, Michurinsky, Kutuzovsky avenues. But at the same time, there is no metro in remote areas of the district.

Houses in ZAO are mostly modern - brick, monolithic, panel. The secondary real estate market is quite diverse.

The average price per square meter of secondary housing is 190,000 rubles. If we evaluate the cost of housing in new buildings, then we must take into account that almost 80% of the apartments belong to the business class.

It is in the ZAO that the most elite residential areas of Moscow are located. The price per square varies from 150,000 to 300,000 rubles.

The ecological situation for life in the Western District is quite favorable. Despite the proximity to the center, the air is clean here.

This is due to a large number of park areas - Moskvoretsky Park, Rublevsky Forest, Serebryany Bor, the Krylatsky Hills nature reserve, the Setun River Valley nature reserves, Sparrow Hills, Troparevsky and South-Western forest parks.

Periodically, the air becomes too polluted when the wind brings exhaust gases from motor vehicles from the side of the highway. But as soon as the direction of the wind changes, the atmosphere immediately improves.

Northwestern District

The North-Western District of Moscow is recognized as quite environmentally friendly. According to statistics, it is in this district that the longest life expectancy of people is recorded.

There are no large industrial zones here, almost half of the territory is occupied by forests. There are ponds, rivers and lakes in the area.

The presence of water and forest resources significantly reduces harm, reducing it almost to a minimum, from three thermal power plants and a nuclear facility located in Penyagino, Mitino and Strogino.

With transport accessibility, everything is also quite safe. The metro is present in all areas, with the exception of Kurkino. At the same time, the Volokolamsk Highway and the transport infrastructure in general are actively developing.

Demand for housing in the district is consistently high. The primary real estate market in SZAO is promising and diverse.

Here they build housing of different format, price and quality characteristics. The cost of a comfort-class apartment in a new building will be approximately 7,000,000 rubles.

As for the secondary real estate market, you can buy an apartment in modern buildings and standard houses. A square of housing will cost an average of 170,000 rubles.

Northern District

One of the most promising areas is the northern district of the capital. Construction is being carried out very actively here, the plans include the commissioning of a number of metro stations.

Among other things, it is planned to move part of the industrial zones outside the Moscow Ring Road. But at the moment the ecological situation in the district is not easy.

A powerful industrial zone near the Voykovskaya metro station is recognized as the most harmful object in the district. There are almost no green spaces in the SAO.

In addition, continuous traffic along the Leningrad highway poisons the air with exhaust gases. With transport here, in principle, the situation is tense - not only Leningradka is overloaded, but also Dmitrovskoe with Volokolamsk highway.

Some areas of the county do not have metro stations, which complicates the process of movement in the absence of a personal car.

In the real estate market, the Northern District distinguishes a large number of apartments, of which more than 80% are in new buildings. The minimum cost per square meter of housing starts from 140,000 rubles.

It is assumed that the empty industrial buildings existing on the territory will be reconstructed into residential premises.

The secondary real estate market is represented mainly by panel and brick houses. The price of a square area starts from 160,000 rubles.

Northeastern District

The highest population density is registered in the North-Eastern District. For one square kilometer more than 13,500 people live here.

The transport situation in the district is also difficult - Dmitrievskoe, Yaroslavskoe and Altufevskoe highways are excessively overloaded and need to be reconstructed for a long time.

Some areas are having difficulty with public transport, the subway is not present everywhere.

Environmental issues are also quite complex. On the one hand, there are the Botanical Garden, Elk Island with its own forest.

But at the same time, more than a hundred different enterprises operate in the North-East Administrative District. Some consolation is that they are dispersed throughout the district, which somewhat reduces their negative impact.

However, there are such objects dangerous for the environment as a chemical and oil refinery, the Aeroelectromash plant. A waste incineration plant is located in the Otradnoye district.

There are also problems with construction in the Northern District. Free place it is almost absent here, and there is simply nowhere to build new buildings. For this reason, apartment prices are steadily rising.

The real estate market is represented mainly by secondary housing in panel houses and brick five-story buildings. A square of living space in the secondary market will cost about 150,000 rubles.

The cost per square meter of housing in a few new buildings varies from 155,000 to 190,000 rubles. At the same time, more than half of the primary real estate is apartments.

Eastern District

The most unfavorable both from the point of view of ecology and from the standpoint of transport accessibility is the Eastern District of Moscow.

The Highway of Enthusiasts and Shchelkovskoye Highway located here are considered the most problematic in the city. One of the most "dirty" industrial zones is Kaloshino.

The situation is somewhat smoothed by a large number of deciduous trees in the district. This is largely due to the fact that people buy housing here.

There are the most brick houses in the Eastern Administrative Okrug. The cost of a square meter of living space in the secondary market is about 148,000 rubles.

The primary market is quite small, only 5% of total housing. Basically, these are inexpensive business-class apartments with a cost of about 160,000 rubles per square meter.

But there is no need to talk about the prospects for the development of the HLW. There are few suitable construction sites in the county, and those available are of poor quality.

Southern District

The record holder for traffic congestion is considered Southern District capital, but at the same time there is the largest number of new buildings. The development prospects of the district are very high.

Since it is planned to rebuild industrial zones. This should affect the improvement of the environmental situation and the development of infrastructure.

At this time, environmental problems in the South Administrative District are caused precisely by a large number of industrial enterprises. And three of them work with radioactive materials. Plus, there is a radioactive waste dump here.

Given that the terrain makes air exchange difficult, the air in the area is saturated with harmful substances to the maximum. The situation is not alleviated by the existing green spaces.

For this reason, a decision was made to close outdated enterprises that cannot be converted to new technologies. Perhaps this will solve the problem with the bad atmosphere.

But although the environment in the South Administrative District leaves much to be desired, apartments are being sold very actively. The primary real estate market in the district is considered the most saturated in Moscow. The cost of a square housing is at the level of 105,000-250,000 rubles.

On the secondary market in the South Administrative District, you can buy the most inexpensive apartments inside the Moscow Ring Road. The price per square meter in the secondary market starts from 140,000 rubles.

Southeastern District

Perhaps the most unfavorable for living is the South-Eastern district of the capital. So many industrial zones are concentrated here that they occupy a third of the district.

It is here that the famous Kapotnya is located - an oil refinery, the closure of which has been demanded for many years public organizations and local environmentalists.

The people refer to the plant as the “Fiend of Hell”, since it probably emits the entire existing list of harmful gases into the atmosphere.

A feature of the district is that the territory is located, as it were, in a lowland. All the cinders of the city are blown away here and remain here.

So, for example, the Pechatniki district is recognized as the lowest point in Moscow and the specific gravity of the gases accumulating here is lower than the specific gravity of air.

In addition, the Kuryanovskaya treatment plant is located in the SEAD, around which all year round worth the stench. In the Vykhino-Zhulebino area, the atmosphere is polluted by exhaust gases from the Moscow Ring Road and smoke from a waste incineration plant.

Residents of Brateevo and Lyublino live close to the thermal power plant, which invariably leads to elevated level radiation. As for the real estate market, it is mainly represented by the "Khrushchevs" of the 60-70s.

New buildings are located outside the Moscow Ring Road, but most of them are located in Nekrasovka, where the waste incineration plant is located, and nearby are the Lyubertsy aeration fields for draining sewage.

For these reasons, the cost of housing in the SEAD is low. If secondary housing in a panel house can be bought at a price of 135,000 rubles per square meter, then in a new building with economy-class apartments, a square meter costs 90,000-135,000 rubles.

Zelenograd administrative district

The smallest in Moscow in terms of territory is the Zelenograd district. It is located completely outside the Moscow Ring Road and is covered by green spaces by a third. The main activity of the district is research and production.

The status of the main Russian center of microelectronics has been firmly established for ZelAO. In this district, advanced research centers are concentrated.

Mostly scientific and industrial enterprises are located here. The district is recognized as very attractive from the point of view of ecology. But a significant disadvantage is poor transport accessibility, getting from here to the center is quite problematic.
