New buildings in the suburbs: it’s worth taking a closer look — and here’s why

More than a third of buyers of apartments in new buildings choose the Leningrad region, not St. Petersburg. And it’s not just about the more affordable cost: there are projects in the suburbs that can compete with residential complexes in the Northern Capital in terms of quality and content.

36% “vote” for the suburbs

More than 90 thousand equity participation agreements were concluded in St. Petersburg and the region in 2023. Slightly more than a third of them, or rather 36%, occurred in the Leningrad region. These statistics eloquently show that for all the delights of living in a big and beautiful city, many choose to live outside it. And this is not for nothing.

First, the prices. The average cost of a “square” in a St. Petersburg new building last year was about 230 thousand rubles, while in the region the average figure falls short of 150 thousand. If you look in absolute numbers, it turns out that the one-room apartment is 35 sq. m. m in the city costs about 8 million rubles, and in the region — about 5 million. A two-bedroom apartment of 60 sq. m. m in the Northern capital will cost about 14 million rubles, outside its borders — around 9 million. Agree, the difference is significant.

The “new history” of comfort

There is a second, no less significant reason why buyers “vote in rubles” for the Leningrad region. In recent years, developers have been very active in projects in the 47th region and offer buyers housing comparable in quality and comfort to what is being built in the metropolis. Especially where it comes to the integrated development of the territory. Entire residential quarters are being created, where, in addition to the houses themselves, schools, kindergartens, clinics, cafes and shops are provided. Well, when it comes to the fact that this housing is near forests, rivers and lakes, it becomes clear why people are increasingly choosing to live not in St. Petersburg at all.

One of the examples of complex development of the territory in the Leningrad region, where the developer creates favorable living conditions, is the residential complex “New History”, under construction in Sertolovo. Let’s take a closer look at the project from the Times developer. What does the company offer to future residents?

Location: 15 minutes to the ring road

Let’s start with the location and transport accessibility. The New History residential complex is surrounded by a large forest area — it is located in the Chernaya Rechka microdistrict, a short distance from the main part of Sertolovo. It’s really quiet and peaceful here. Within walking distance of the Copper and Sarzhenskoe lakes, where tourists like to relax.

If you look at the distance to the city, then the ring road, for example, is only 12 km away, i.e. 15 minutes by car. The nearest metro stations — Parnas or Prospekt Prosveshcheniya — are about 20 kilometers away. It takes 25 minutes by car. The time on public transport is approximately 35-45 minutes, depending on the traffic density.

Houses and surroundings

Now about the project itself. The Times developer is “writing a new story” in the suburban real estate market and creating comfortable conditions for buyers. The development plan of the territory includes, in addition to houses, 2 kindergartens, a school, a shopping center, full engineering training and the creation of road infrastructure.

18 low-rise buildings, a kindergarten with a built-in swimming pool, and a shopping complex have been built on the territory.

4-storey brick-monolithic houses are being built on the territory of the complex. They are commensurate with a person and do not “crush” height, while they are equipped with elevators from ground level, which is especially convenient for people with limited mobility and families with young children.

The New History residential complex is distinguished by stylish facade solutions: laconic lines and calm natural shades.

Walking areas with free Wi-Fi and bike parking will be located inside the enclosed courtyards. Parking for cars is organized outside — they, by the way, have sockets for charging electric vehicles.

The creators of the project put safety and ergonomics at the forefront: more than 50 video surveillance cameras will be placed in closed courtyards and front rooms. There are wheelchair and passenger—and-cargo double-sided elevators in each entrance – they even lift to the ground floor from ground level. This is especially convenient for residents with limited mobility and parents with strollers. There is no need for ramps to get into the house. Even such seemingly small things as containers for separate garbage collection in courtyards and spam boxes in the halls have been thought out.

If we talk about the apartments themselves, they are distinguished by convenient thoughtful layouts. The rooms have a comfortable ceiling height — from 2.75 to 3 m. The developer did not save on high-quality doors and windows: windows with the profile of the German brand Deceuinck are used in the New History residential complex. This profile belongs to the highest category “A”: the width of 76 mm and 6 air chambers provide high energy saving and frost resistance.

The houses use the horizontal heating and water supply system, which is popular today. This gives at least two advantages: there are no risers in the rooms and less sound permeability due to the increased thickness of the floor screed. It is also worth noting the individual natural ventilation system of the German brand Schiedel. Each apartment has its own ventilation duct that does not come into contact with others: the smells from the neighbor’s kitchen are blocked.

Smart Engineering

It is worth noting separately the system of “smart” engineering in the project: usually a high-tech “filling” is provided in projects of the “business” segment, here these options will be available in comfort class. What is included in the “New History” standard?

“smart” meters for heat and electricity, as well as hot and cold water, transmitting readings automatically to the management company and to the tenant in the mobile application; electronic water leak sensors and an electronic locking mechanism (sends a leak signal to the mobile application and to the management company, as well as blocks the water); own mobile application, the possibility of using in the apartment all the functionality of a “smart” house with smart light bulbs, sockets, curtains, etc.

What can you say after studying this suburban project? Impressive!

Purchase Options

You can buy an apartment in this residential complex using all available tools in the real estate market: maternity capital, city and regional subsidies, various mortgage programs, including programs with subsidized rates for the entire term (from 3.5% on a family mortgage and from 5.5% on a mortgage with state support*) and tranche mortgage programs with minimal payments for the construction period.

Separately, it is worth noting installments from the developer. In addition to the classic types, there are also installments of the new “save up for a mortgage” format, which allow you to save the amount necessary for the first mortgage payment on the escrow account while the house is being built. And after saving up, switch to a mortgage.

The consultants in the developer’s sales department will tell you which program to choose for you.
