We select new buildings in the best microdistricts of Balashikha

Balashikha has been the largest and most developed city in the Moscow region for several years. The tense transport and environmental situation is compensated by infrastructural advantages.

The portal KVARTIRAzaMKAD.ru studied the features of the city and selected the most successful microdistricts where you can buy an apartment in a new building in Balashikha.

Balashikha is located in the east of the Moscow region. In fact, the city is located on the border with Moscow, but from the conditional center of Balashikha to the Moscow Ring Road it is 6 km along the Entuziastov Highway.

Borders and coat of arms of Balashikha

According to data for 2022 the total area of ​​Balashikha is 9,780 hectares, and the population is 450,000 people. A noticeable “jump” in these indicators occurred in 2015, when the city of Zheleznodorozhny became part of the city. We looked at the improvement and analysis of the real estate market in Zheleznodorozhny separately in another review.

The closest neighbors are the cities of Reutov, Lyubertsy, Shchelkovo and Staraya Kupavna.

Transport accessibility of Balashikha: will there be an end to traffic jams?

Balashikha is notorious for its difficult transport links with Moscow during rush hours. The capacity of the old Shchelkovskoe and Gorkovskoe highways can no longer cope with the flow of local and transit motorists and gives rise to a whole range of problems. The environment is deteriorating, residents are in danger, the private sector is suffering from cars rushing to avoid traffic jams.

In 2015, authorities began a project to improve transport infrastructure. The first results should appear in 2017-2018. The new interchange will separate transit and urban transport. Key points at the intersection of the highway. Enthusiasts from Obezdny Highway, st. Sovetskaya and Leonovsky highway. In addition, this area is planned to be landscaped and landscaped. In the meantime, drivers patiently make their way through traffic jams along construction fences.

Construction of an interchange on the Entuziastov Highway in Balashikha

Future plans include creating a backup for the Shchelkovskoye Highway and expanding the Nosovikhinskoye Highway for residents of Zheleznodorozhny, solving local problems at crossings in Saltykovka and the village of Chernoye, and extending the Leonovskoye Highway.

Novogireevo and Shchelkovskaya are the nearest metro stations, from where you can get to different parts of Balashikha by bus or minibus. Travel time depends on the destination and traffic situation. Ideally, you can get to Balashikha in just 20-30 minutes. Within the city there is a wide variety of routes connecting areas with each other.

In Balashikha there are 2 railway branches of the Gorky direction: one leads to the central microdistricts of the city, where the depot ends, the other leads to the city of Zheleznodorozhny and further to Noginsk. Electric trains from the Balashikha platform run rarely, about once an hour, but are very popular, because... allow you to get to Moscow without traffic jams. Travel time to Kursky Station is only 40 minutes.

Population

The population of the urban district after the merger with the abolished Zheleznodorozhny urban district as of January 1, 2022 was 501,610 people (as of 2015, within the new borders - 423,946 people).

Urbanization

97.69% of the population live in urban areas.

Ecology of Balashikha: looking for locations favorable to life

Environmentalists include Balashikha on the list of the dirtiest cities in the Moscow region. On the territory of the city there are 3 chemical plants, 3 military-industrial enterprises, mechanical factories, as well as bread and alcoholic beverage production. Every year they emit dangerous amounts of harmful substances into the atmosphere, which poison the atmosphere and water bodies.

According to environmental assessments, most of Balashikha’s reservoirs are assigned hazard class 4, which means “very dirty.” Pekhorka River, lake. Mazurinskoe in the Gorensky forest park, lake. Yushino and the others are considered unsuitable for swimming. True, as usual, this stops few people. The famous Bear Lakes, where residents from different parts of the Moscow region go, have struggled to withstand the influx of vacationers in recent years.

And yet the main cause of pollution remains anthropological. Kilometer-long traffic jams aggravate the situation. The wind from the capital covers Balashikha with emissions from the Moscow Ring Road and industrial zones.

The rapid pace at which Balashikha was built up seriously reduced the volume of forest areas. Defenders were able to stop many precedents of deforestation, but this is no longer the green Balashikha that it was in the early 2000s.

City forest park

Literally at the end of June 2022, residents won another environmental victory, getting the president to close the huge Kuchino landfill. Unfortunately, it is impossible to say yet what will happen next. Will they start collecting garbage in Noginsk, Lyubertsy and Klin, as Minister of Ecology Alexander Kogan promises? Or will they just wait until the media background calms down?

And yet, many picturesque places and forest parks have been preserved in Balashikha. Many new buildings are being built on the outskirts of the forest, luring buyers with picturesque views and the opportunity to walk along forest paths. True, no one guarantees that in 5-10 years the trees under the windows will not be cut down to create new square meters.

According to my observations, the quietest and most comfortable microdistricts are Balashikha-2, Balashikha-3, microdistrict. 22 and Saltykovka. In the Lukino and New Izmailovo areas there are also forests, but there is also highway noise and an industrial zone. In addition, these are actively developing areas, which means that the border with the forest may move further and further.

On December 29, 2004, the municipal formation “Balashikha District of the Moscow Region” with the status of a municipal district from January 1, 2006 was transformed into a single municipal formation of the Balashikha urban district.

On July 7, 2006, the law “On the urban district of Balashikha and its border” was adopted

On February 26, 2007, the head of the Balashikha urban district signed a decree “On the streamlining of targeted farming in the territory of the Balashikha urban district,” according to which the former military town with a population of about 25,000 people and the name of the village of Zarya will be called the Zarya microdistrict of the Balashikha urban district.

Infrastructure of Balashikha

The infrastructure in Balashikha can be assessed by the saying “somewhere it’s empty, somewhere it’s dense.” If we look at the central microdistricts of Balashikha-1, Pervomaisky, Yuzhny and Balashikha-2, we can see that the main shopping and entertainment infrastructure is concentrated in them.

There are markets, shopping centers, hypermarkets and shops. There are 3 cinemas, cafes, popular chain eateries, restaurants, bars and entertainment clubs. Residents enjoy relaxing in the central park, visiting art galleries and events in cultural and leisure centers.

Cinema and hotel

New microdistricts - Lukino, Vostochny, Gagarina, Aviatorov, Novoye Izmailovo - offer only the necessary minimum food and household needs.

This seems uncritical, but many microdistricts of Balashikha are isolated from the central part. For example, it is easier for a resident of the Vostochny microdistrict to go to a Moscow cinema than to get to the center of his city. And the residents of Novoye Izmailovo have a choice - to drive through traffic jams to Moscow or the center of Balashikha. From many microdistricts, getting to others on foot is very problematic, because... the path goes along the highway.

The social infrastructure of Balashikha is trying to rise along with the growing residential areas. 2016 was marked by increased attention to the problems of workload in government institutions and the needs of young neighborhoods.

At the moment, in each of the isolated microdistricts of Balashikha there are at least 1-2 schools and kindergartens. In the central part of the city, in addition to general educational institutions, there are gymnasiums and schools with in-depth study of subjects, 1 correctional school and a sanatorium-forest school. 6 universities have been opened on the territory of Balashikha.

There have also been positive changes in the healthcare sector.

Medicine is most accessible in Balashikha for residents of central microdistricts. Patients from Novy Izmailovo, Lukino and Gagarin are still forced to go to institutions in neighboring microdistricts, getting there by car or public transport.

Comfort of the urban environment of Balashikha

In Balashikha, one can highlight both important positive aspects of improvement and disadvantages. In general, the work on a comfortable environment in the city is noticeable: these include modern traffic lights, bright playgrounds, and well-maintained parks.

Public transport connects scattered microdistricts, however, covering some areas on foot is very problematic.

For an ideal picture, safe and convenient crossings through busy highways and streets are not enough. This is especially a difficult task for people with disabilities and mothers with children.

The city looks neat. There are many children, young people, and expectant mothers on the streets. Although Balashikha hosts quite a lot of visiting migrants, the criminal situation here is calm. The city is considered fairly safe, with a low crime rate.

The official website of Balashikha publishes news and city events daily. In active groups on social networks, residents of Balashikha actively share problems and seek advice. Communities are even monitored by municipal employees, promptly responding to citizen complaints.

Secondary real estate market in Balashikha

Those wishing to buy an apartment in Balashikha on the secondary market will easily find a lot of offers. Unlike other cities near Moscow, there is a large assortment of apartments in new buildings, commissioned 5-10 years ago. In terms of the development of the secondary market, Balashikha can safely be called a leader in the region.

At first glance, the prices are frightening in their contrast. Next to the inexpensive offer in a new house (80 thousand rubles per sq. m), a “one-room apartment” in an old five-story panel building with a price tag of about 100 thousand rubles may be put up for sale. per sq. m. However, general price patterns are amenable to analytics. Thus, in microdistricts remote from the center, an adequate price per square meter in Balashikha is 75 - 85 thousand rubles as of June 2022. In houses with convenient transport accessibility, additional amenities or high-quality repairs, the price can rise to 106 thousand rubles. per sq. m.

The monolithic residential complex “Akvareli” from the developer “Tekta Group” was recently put into operation. The project is notable for its location in the central part of the city. Some are confused by the immediate proximity to the Leonovsky cemetery and the industrial area opposite.

The procedure for electing the head of the city district since 2011

On February 8, 2011, the Council of Deputies of the city district made a decision according to which the Charter of the city. Balashikha a number of changes were made. The most serious amendment was the one concerning the procedure for electing the head of the city district (abolishing his popular election).

The head of the city district is elected by the Council of Deputies of the city district from among its members for the term of office of the Council of Deputies of the city district, which decided to appoint a person to the position of head of the city district.

The head of the city district acts as the chairman of the Council of Deputies of the city district. (Art. 25 part 2)

The Council of Deputies consists of only 25 deputies (with a population of about 250,000 people in the urban district). Thus, as was noted by a number of speakers at the hearings of the Draft Decision of the Council of Deputies of the Balashikha Urban District “On Amendments to the Charter of the Balashikha Urban District,” there is a usurpation of power and the establishment of an autocratic regime in Balashikha, with the further development of kleptocracy throughout the district. It was also stated that the exclusion of Balashikha residents from direct elections of the Head of Balashikha is unacceptable and violates the democratic principles of the Russian Federation. Despite all the objections, the decision was eventually made.

Review of new buildings in the city of Balashikha

Many people, when choosing a new building in Balashikha, are guided by the convenience of the location. Some people need to get to Moscow along the Shchelkovo direction, for others it is more convenient to travel through Novogireevo. Some people prioritize other factors.

Some projects in Balashikha already offer a comfortable environment, while others are still densely built-up islands with a minimum of infrastructure.

The residential complex “28 microdistrict” from the developer “DM-Holding” in the Pervomaisky district is highly appreciated.

New Izmailovo, although located closer than others to Moscow, has a number of disadvantages. There are no medical institutions here, and among educational ones there is only 1 school and a kindergarten.

Microdistrict New Izmailovo

The Lukino microdistrict, where the New Lukino residential complex and the New Alekseevskaya Roshcha residential complex are being built, is immediately associated with a residential area. These are cramped blocks of high-rise buildings indistinguishable from each other. So far there is a very meager range of infrastructure here: a school, a lyceum and two kindergartens.

Residents are waiting for the construction of health and fitness centers, medical and children's institutions. Moreover, the developer GC Granel Development plans to build 11 more residential buildings.

Another project is being built on a field plot 300 meters from the Moscow Ring Road. A large residential area of ​​10 buildings, social institutions and commercial facilities will appear here.

In addition, the location does not provide significant advantages over residents of remote residential complexes. Prices for the first panel buildings range from 68 to 102 thousand rubles. per sq. m. The apartments are expected to be fully furnished. The houses are scheduled to be delivered in the 2nd quarter. 2022

Impressions and conclusions

It is not for nothing that Balashikha is in demand among buyers. The infrastructure and residential real estate market are well developed here. They are trying to solve problems with transport accessibility and overloaded social institutions at the very least. Despite the unfavorable environment, the city has many places for walking and outdoor recreation.

And yet, when buying an apartment in Balashikha, you need to be prepared to patiently overcome traffic jams, and be understanding of public transport that is busy during peak hours and the fragmented location of neighborhoods. Taken together, the most comfortable places to live are the Pervomaisky, Yuzhny, Balashikha-1 and 2 microdistricts. 22.
