Chapter 3 - Finding a Home in MoscowMoscow is a huge city, and figuring out where to live can be a very difficult choice! There are so many things to take into consideration (in particular if you are moving here with family), such as air quality, traffic and public transportation, proximity to grocery stores and other shops, safety, etc.The chapter starts with a short overview of Moscow, a list of general considerations (do you want to live in the center or outside of it; do you prefer old or new buildings; are you looking for furnished or unfurnished accommodation, etc.), and information on the different types of apartment buildings that are common in Moscow. This is followed by a description of neighborhoods that are popular with expatriate families and information on some of the popular residential compounds, gated communities and new developments in various parts of the city (and outside Moscow). At the end of the chapter, you will find information on approximate rental rates. Yes, Moscow is expensive… but it also has a lot to offer! |
