Pros and cons of moving to Goryachiy Klyuch for permanent residence
According to historical data, Goryachiy Klyuch was a small Adyghe settlement. After some families from Siberia and the Far East moved there, the population began to grow. As a result, in 1965 Goryachiy Klyuch was recognized as a new southern city. It is located in the foothills of the Northern Ranges on the Psekups River, and has a large forested area. Seven rural districts are annexed to it.
pros
Figures say that up to 800 people move to Goryachiy Klyuch every year. And, most often, they name the following advantages for moving for permanent residence:
- Climatic features. Southern climate with warm spring and autumn, hot summers, and short winters. The minimum rainfall is up to 895 mm per year.
- Magnificent scenery. After moving, you can go for walks in the forest, to gorges, waterfalls, rocks, intermountains at least every day. Arrange picnics and camping in clearings with picturesque views. In addition, many natural attractions are within walking distance from the center. For example, Sanatorium Mountain Park and Alley of a Thousand Pines.
- Transport accessibility. Goryachy Klyuch is located 65 kilometers from Krasnodar, to which the Lastochka electric train runs several times a day. The M4 Don federal highway passes through the city. If you travel by car, you can reach the southern capital in 40 minutes. There are railway tracks, and there is a station where people board for travel to the Krasnodar resorts.
Local people are famous for their kindness not only towards tourists, but also towards new residents. Therefore, after moving for permanent residence, there is always someone to talk to and consult with. In many ways, the simplicity of local residents is associated with the provincial way of life.
Minuses
Having examined the reviews of those who moved, we can highlight the following disadvantages:
- Lack of work for qualified specialists. If you look at the advertisements in local newspapers and on recruiting sites, workers are mainly required for manual labor or in the service sector. Administrative and leadership positions are filled by locals.
- Lack of educational institutions. Visitors wait a long time for a place in kindergarten. This is due to the lack of preschool institutions in the city. In conversations with locals, it turned out that pensioners who are ready to act as nannies and educators help. There are also few options for school graduates; there is a branch of Kuban University, a college, and a vocational school. Teenagers are sent to Krasnodar to receive higher or secondary vocational education.
- Bad water in high-rise buildings and garbage on the streets. After moving, many people complain about the taste and smell of the water entering their apartments. Another factor of disappointment is the landfills near residential buildings, formed due to the poor performance of solid waste collection and disposal services.
These disadvantages are considered problems; today they are under the control of local authorities. Thanks to e-government, which is the official website, it has become easier to interact with authorities. The Goryachiy Klyuch city administration tries to respond to all requests in a timely manner. This way, residents are not left alone with their problems.
Standard of living in Goryachy Klyuch
To begin with, it is worth remembering that Goryachiy Klyuch is a resort and health resort: mineral water springs with a temperature of 62 °C predetermined the fate of the city. There are 6 sanatoriums specializing in the treatment and restoration of the digestive and musculoskeletal system. There is a plant here for the production of mineral drinking water; it is supplied to many regions of Russia.
To improve their health and enjoy the fresh and forest air, up to 150 thousand tourists come to Goryachiy Klyuch every year. According to reviews from vacationers, they would like to move here for permanent residence, but only after retirement. We can agree with this, because there is little work here and little entertainment either.
Despite the flow of tourists and the importance of the city, the standard of living in the Krasnodar Territory is low. The cost of living is 11,397 rubles. The most common salary is from 8,000-18,000 rubles. Builders and farm employees have twice as much, in the range of 35,000-40,000 rubles.

Before making a serious decision about moving for permanent residence, it is worth visiting the area for a while. Take a vacation to the resort and get a complete tour of Hot Spring. Its area is very small - 20.77 km², so a couple of weeks is enough. It is important to study the city’s infrastructure, offers on the real estate market, take a closer look at the product line, and evaluate transport accessibility.
The prestigious area is considered “Sanatorium”, at the same time it is called “Resort”. It looks very neat, clean, quiet: there are secondary housing, new houses and cottages.

There is also the “Central District”, which is divided into several microdistricts. In the center there are walking and park areas, a few entertainment venues, government agencies, banks, and large markets. There are old and new housing. From here you can get to any part of the resort.

The oldest district is “Zarechye”. It is located near the train station, and therefore there is a lot of noise in the area. Probably one of the most budget-friendly places to move, the cost of housing starts from 1.5 million rubles.
