What to evaluate in the residential complex
Location
It may seem that the closer the house to the center, the more advantageous. And if you allocate a serious budget for real estate, it is better to buy an apartment in the historical part of the city. This is partly true, but there are nuances. For example, buying a home near landmarks has its risks. In such places, traffic is often restricted during holidays and on weekends. In addition, on any day of the week, your guests are unlikely to quickly find a place to park. If there are bars, clubs and restaurants nearby, you can forget about quiet nights with an open window. Not to mention the fact that in the center for the same money you will have access to a smaller area - without a dressing room, a kitchen-dining room or an office.
A good location is not only a matter of location, but also of infrastructure. Evaluate interchanges, morning traffic jams on neighboring streets, metro stations and stops. The more transport options, the better, even if you have a car. Roads are sometimes closed for repairs, the car may suddenly break down. The competent location of the residential complex will not leave you cut off from civilization in any case.
Make a list of objects that are important to you and check if they are within walking distance: parks, kindergartens, schools, medical facilities. Find out how the area will develop in the future - what if the skyscraper will close the view from the windows of the picturesque park in a couple of years. It is also worth looking for information about whether the city plans to build near new roads or metro. Typically, such objects affect the cost of the apartment in a pleasant way for the owner.
Living in a metropolis gives many opportunities, but it takes a lot of time to travel. Apartments in a convenient location will allow you to take the maximum from the big city. Business class quarter MainStreet from GK "Osnova" is located at the intersection of Rublevsky highway and Kutuzovsky prospect. Next to the complex is the Kuntsevskaya metro station, which connects three lines: Bolshaya Koltsevaya, Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya and Filevskaya.
Now the construction of the northern understudy of Kutuzovsky Prospekt is being completed - when the highway is handed over, the road from the house to the Third Transport Ring will take no more than 10 minutes. The MainStreet apartments also offer magnificent views of the City, the rowing canal and Fili Park, which can be reached on foot in 10 minutes. The quarter has already been rented out, so if you are looking for a dream home, you won’t have to wait long: choose the apartment you like and get the keys.

Underground parking
A business-class residential complex must have underground parking. Usually it is placed on the minus first floor and below. A parking space is purchased separately or included in the price of the apartment. Most often, you can choose a suitable area for the dimensions of the car. Only residents can get here - usually with the help of elevators that descend directly from the residential area. Such parking is much more comfortable in bad weather: you can not freeze in winter while the car is warming up, and not go to it in the rain. It is also much safer to keep the car in the parking lot than in the yard or on the street.
Closed landscaped yard
In the courtyard of a business-class house, the hand of a landscape designer is guessed. Here you will not see trampled paths and rickety benches. Look for smart lounge areas with sun loungers, equipped gazebos, and workout areas. Pay attention to children's and sports grounds. Coatings must be strong and safe, and swings and horizontal bars must fulfill their purpose without suspicious squeaks.
Utility smart systems
Modern complexes are equipped with smart systems. If the new building has a smart home, then the owner of the apartment can control heating, ventilation, air conditioning and home electrical appliances in a couple of clicks in the application. And this technology also allows you to track utility bills and manage sensors in common areas. For example, set up a contactless passage to the entrance and to the parking lot, get access to charging an electric car or a Wi-Fi point.
Internal infrastructure
When business-class residential complexes begin to fill with residents, rental areas on the ground floors also come to life. Coffee houses, beauty salons, mugs for children are opening. Firstly, it is convenient: you do not need to go anywhere to drink a cappuccino or visit a beautician. Secondly, the house becomes like a kind of club of interests, where you can spend time with your neighbors and unite in a community. Before buying a home, it makes sense to sketch out a list of your routine tasks and evaluate the planned infrastructure of the residential complex and a set of objects within walking distance.
Large selection of apartments
In modern houses, you will be offered not only different footage, but also several layout options for each. The buyer should always have the opportunity to buy an apartment without internal partitions at all. This is a necessary selection criterion for those who want to fully customize housing for themselves. In the complexes, as a rule, it is possible to purchase options with finishing. So the future tenant will be able to step back from the choice of contractors and not control the progress of work, and include the cost of finishing in the mortgage.
What to appreciate in an apartment
If you choose a turnkey option, then the finishing materials and fittings must fully comply with the design project. All unforeseen changes are discussed by a reliable developer with the client at the stage of repair. But there is a general list of requirements that distinguishes any business class apartment.
- High ceilings. The optimal height for such housing starts from 3 meters.
- Big windows. Panoramic in the entire wall or with a lower border offset by 40-50 centimeters from the floor. Corner glazing is often offered in business-class houses.
- Soundproofing. It is affected by the material of the floors. The quietest are brick and reinforced concrete. Check with the developer if there is additional insulation on the floor, in bathrooms and rooms adjacent to common areas.
- Ventilation system. On the facade of the house you will hardly see a scattering of air conditioners. The apartment may already have an air purification and cooling system.
- Spacious kitchen. The size of an isolated kitchen should start from 12 square meters. Combined kitchen-living rooms are also popular.
- Utility rooms. A closet in the middle of the hallway or a washing machine in the bathroom are not scenarios for business class housing. Here the developer must provide separate spaces for household needs and dressing rooms.
Complex MainStreet built using German facades and comfortable Greek elevators, European engineering and finishing materials. Closed yard without cars and designer lobbies, convenient underground parking and a large selection of layouts, smart home and own infrastructure make this project an attractive option for purchase. Any apartment can be purchased with a mortgage at a rate of 5% for the entire period.

In the MainStreet quarter, all apartments - from a modest studio to a penthouse - can also be bought with a finished finish. This is especially important for those who are not ready to spend time and effort on repairs, but plan to immediately move to a new home.
