Typical Russian Apartment Tour and Price 2024

Would you live here? How does the value/standard compare to the capital city of your country?

Well, it certainly beats a whole lot of apartments in NYC!

As a Russian-German who lives in Germany and has been to Russia (Moscow and Chelyabinsk) multiple times I can confirm everything this man says. And I can tell any foreigner who doesn’t know anything about Russia: this is exactly the most average apartment you can get. Russians don’t live poorly at all, even though many of the commentators say „bro, the average salary in Russia is only 800$ hurr-durr!!“ it does not matter. This country has infinite land, food, wood, gas, oil, water etc., which means everything is sooo cheap. They dont rely on anyone, they are doing just fine!

I love the dog sitting in the hallway! 😊

I like the safety ,no homeless or beggars, neighbours caring about each other. Sounds nice and the flat and value is affordable.

I live in the United States in the state of Arkansas and I find your flat in Moscow reasonably priced especially with utilities included. Thanks for this video as I had no idea about the prices in Russia 😊

Very interesting. This is a great channel to share with people who know nothing about Russia.

I live in the Panhandle of Florida. Rent starts at 2,000.00 and up. This does not include Electric or Cable. A lot of people are working 2 to 3 jobs just to handle living near a beach. You guys are a lot less stress. Thanks for the video. VERY INFORMATIVE!

I live in Vigo (Galicia), Spain. I pay 500 euros per month for a 130 square metre flat. 5 bedrooms with built in wardrobes, 2 complete bathrooms, a kitchen , a laundry room, a lounge-dining room and a window-glased balcony. Electricity, water and central heating are not included, nor do I have a parking lot. Nevertheless, my flat faces south and in winter whenever we have a sunny day we don´t need to turn on the central heating. My flat has a view of the mountains surrounding Vigo although I´d prefer if it were overlooking the bay. Can´t have it all! I love it here and feel blessed. It´s a city that is neither too big nor small. The nearest beach is at a 15 minute walk (less than 5 minutes by bus) and Galicia on its whole is so green and unspoilt that I´d never dream of living anywhere else.

I taught English in Moscow in 2010. I shared a flat with a girl from Dublin in the Moscow suburb Prolotarskaya. It was quite a nice area. The flat we lived in was old fashioned but it had gushing hot water that filled a big bath, very warm in the flat and the block generally and I always thought the the gas on the gas cooker was a lot more powerful than here in UK. I have fond memories. Oh yes the utilities were very cheap. My salary was about $500 as rent was removed before we received the salary. I carried around a card that said ya ne poniyamoo po ruski- I don’t speak Russian, but I did pick up some phrases and learnt the alphabet.

I would be interested to see a tour of some more high-end options in Moscow. Thank you for the video.

I’ve lived in the US most of my life. Shoes come off upon entering my home. Toilets are sometimes separated from the shower/bath and sink. I have 4 very nice bathrooms and 5 bedrooms. Very large rooms a family room, dining room, living room and laundry room. Basement and two car garage. We are a family of 4. With .60 acre of land. Very comfortable home and grateful to be living in a very nice community.

As a USMC veteran I paid $1200 for rent. $80 for electric and $30 to use the laundry room, in Spokane Washington...Im moving to Moscow...get out of my way.

Great value for the price. Had no idea Russia was on Socialized medicine and dentistry. I expected it to me much more expensive. I did love the size of the apt as well. Thank you for sharing this information.

I live in Florida and always remove my shoes when I enter my apartment. My parents did it also. I am 67 years old. My sons also do this at their apartments in New York City. It is very common here in the states among people I know.

the chandelier adds a nice touch

My dad was a master plumber. That room with a sink and a toilet only would be called a toilet room, he would say. The only room that can be called a bathroom is a room that has a bathtub.

Nothing is free. You either pay taxes or pay the doctor. You cannot compare the apartment to where you live until you know the average salary, and know the percentage of a person's salary is used for housing.

I found this very interesting and as I live in the UK I was surprised when you said about the lack of crime and the way the neighbours foster a community spirit. In London at present, you couldn't leave your bike unattended in a hallway it'd be stolen in a few days.

Russian people I have met are very good people
