Question:
|
|
|
Help please! We are trying to work out which districts to look for apartments in. We are considering the Slavic/ Anglo/ American school, Victoria school or BIS 4. I'm guessing we may need to walk to school, as I gather the metro is not great with small children during rush hour? Rents up to $6500 pcm. Work is a 60km commute down the M2. Looking forward to your advice. Thanks!

Dear Julia,
Thank you so much for your recent request!
In light of Moscow's rather congested traffic situation it is definitely very important to find a convenient location that will be easily accessible to your chosen school, place of work and of course transport links. In order to offer you a more detailed reply it would be good to know which direction your office is located, from the choice of schools it does seem that it is located somewhere south.
If this is the case the south of the city could be your best solution - BIS 4 (accepts children from 3 to 11), BIS 3 (ages from 11-18), School 9 (3 to 11). A further possible solution are the English International Schools (east of the city, accepts children from 3 to 18). The
International school which is located to the west (accepts children from 2-11), it may be less conveniently located, but could be an option as well.
In terms of location for BIS 4,3,9 the area of Leninsky prospect and Yugo-Zapad (South-West) may be of interest as there are many modern residential buildings with good quality apartments. Also in these areas there some international compounds which could be interesting, for example Syetun or Dubrovka. Both compounds are very popular with families with kids. In general this area is considered to be very good from an ecological point of view, it has very good infrastructure (shopping and fitness centres, restaurants, cafes) and it is very popular with expats.
East of the city is less popular area for expats, there are not so many residential buildings there, however there is a very nice compound there called Kuskovo (sometimes also known as Scandinavian village).
West of the city around Serebryanny Bor is also a very nice area and has a lot of interesting housing options, both in terms of apartments in residential buildings, and in terms of community life within the compound called Serebryanny Bor.
For your information I have attached some properties for your review. I hope they will provide you with an example of potential options and I would be delighted to offer you a much more comprehensive pack of details for your review.
If you have any preliminary visits planned, we'd be glad to provide you with an orientation tour (area, housing, schools, medical/shopping/fitness centres, etc.) if this would be helpful for you. Alternatively, we would recommend viewing properties about 2-3
weeks prior to your desired lease commencement.
I do hope this information will be useful and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.
IntermarkSavills looks forward to ensuring your happy move to Moscow!
Kind regards,
