Apartment in St. Petersburg: what is important to know

Are you choosing a place to live in St. Petersburg? Let’s look at 5 criteria that will help you make the right decision.

Location and environment

One of the first criteria to pay attention to is the location of the house. To make the road to work, school or anywhere else in the city fast and comfortable, choose areas with good transport infrastructure. It is better for motorists to make sure that there are convenient exits to major highways near the house, as well as public transport stops with routes in different directions of the city (then the rest of the family will be able to move around the city on their own without unnecessary transfers).

One of the largest developers in the North-West, LSR Group, takes this nuance into account in its projects – residential complexes are being built next to convenient automobile interchanges and metro stations. For example, from the Bolshaya Okhta residential complex you can reach the center of St. Petersburg in 5 minutes, and you can also use the Ladozhskaya and Novocherkasskaya metro stations.

The environment of the house is another important criterion in choosing a location. St. Petersburg is rich in natural landscapes, choose residential complexes near greenery, parks, embankments – they will create a beautiful landscape outside the window, which will always cheer you up, and fresh air will have a beneficial effect on your mental and physical condition.

You can get it right in the center of St. Petersburg. Here, on Petrovsky Island, there is a business class residential complex Neva Haus. Its residents enjoy picturesque views of the water and greenery, and the parks of Elagin and Krestovsky Islands are located within walking distance. The complex has already been commissioned, and there are still apartments for sale – have time to book your own!

Layout

There is an opinion that the larger the square footage of the apartment, the better. However, this stereotype has become outdated, replaced by a trend towards functionality. It is more important for modern developers not to sell you a large area, but to think over such a layout in which every square meter is used, providing comfort and order in the house. Functional apartments are distinguished by their inventive planning solutions – for example, rectangular rooms (instead of square ones), master bedrooms (from which there is direct access to the bathroom), bay windows, terraces and other options that allow you to use 100% of the living space and not overpay for extra square meters.

The projects of the LSR Group have convenient solutions for different residents. For families of several people, apartments with two bathrooms are suitable (no more morning queues to the restroom!), isolated bedrooms for the personal space of each household, kitchens-living rooms where everyone can gather together.

Fans of clothing and other shopping will be pleased with the layouts with dressing rooms and storage niches – they will perfectly accommodate all things, and order will be maintained by itself.

There are also studio apartments and studios – a great option for those who live alone and do not need a large area. For example, in the Oktyabrskaya Embankment residential complex you will find apartments with an area of 20 square meters at a pleasant price, with ready-made kitchens and finishes. And besides, this residential complex participates in the program “Cashback for the purchase of an apartment” from the LSR Group.

The arrangement of courtyards and front rooms

Sophisticated residents of St. Petersburg know that home comfort should begin not in the hallway of the apartment, but at the entrance to the residential complex. Modern developers do not just erect buildings, but create a real comfortable environment inside their projects – with landscaped walking areas, playgrounds and various sports, spacious entrance groups, rooms for strollers and bicycles on the ground floors.

The developer LSR Group has gone even further, creating a barrier-free environment in its new projects. This means that the entrances to the front doors, sidewalks and paths are at ground level, without unnecessary curbs and steps. Residents with strollers and bicycles in “barrier-free” courtyards will not encounter obstacles, plus parents are calmer – there is less risk that children will stumble and break their knees.

Infrastructure

The next important step in choosing an apartment is to make sure that there are necessary social institutions, shops and services near the house. For example, as many as 7 kindergartens, 5 schools and a polyclinic will be available in the Tsvetnoy Gorod residential complex.

Also within walking distance from the house there are shops, cafes, pharmacies, fitness centers, hypermarkets, online order pickups – in general, what you use regularly. In the projects of the LSR Group, these services are available on the ground floors of residential complexes.

To clarify which stores and services will appear in the residential complex, you can contact the developer directly. And if the complex has already been commissioned, then come and explore the internal infrastructure yourself, or turn to the map applications.

The reputation of the developer

Buying an apartment is a long-term investment, caution is not superfluous here. Imagine that the developer offers you an excellent apartment option, promises comfortable conditions and delivery on time. I don’t want to take your word for it, but how can I check its reliability? Look at previous projects – how they look years later, whether there are “problematic” complexes or scandals in the company’s track record. Young developers will not give you confidence – who knows how their projects will perform 5-10 years after completion? What “surprises” will be revealed to the new residents?

But the long-term experience of the developer and dozens of successfully implemented projects, on the contrary, are an indicator of stability and guarantees. With such a developer, you minimize the risks and can safely wait while your apartment is being built without worrying about its fate.

LSR Group has been firmly positioned in the real estate market for more than 30 years. Clients will easily be convinced of its reliability by examining the extensive portfolio of completed projects in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region.

Now more than 20 complexes of the LSR Group with commercial and residential real estate are available to buyers. Choose your ideal option on the website!
