Let me know what you think of these smaller mincro apartments.

[donseclad]

I understand there are loads of people would be lucky to have this apartment, but personally, If I had to live here, I would get severe depression! Having to spend your life in something like this, in an area surrounded by thousands of exactly similar apartments, to me, would be soul destroying. That's not living, that's existing. Just my personal

An Architect here. Designed 3000 apts., mostly for moderate income persons and I can see the Architects worked their butts off trying to do a good job. And they did! I approve. Little tweeks could be a smaller kitchen to enlarge the "living room" aspect of the main room, maybe the kitchen table hinged on the wall to lift up. maybe a double door to the Bedroom so when having company the place could "open up" Overall I approve of the design esp heating and A/C. The bathroom sink is teriffic in design and function. If there are walking distance cafes / shops / librararies then such small space is liveable. GREAT KUDOS TO MY RUSSIAN ARCHITECT BUDDIES.

It's way nicer than the studio apartment I had when I was 19-20. My own bathroom? Wow! A washing machine.... incredible. A actual bedroom with fullsize bed AND a dining area. A full kitchen. Like...damn...

I am so grateful that I'm old and was working and could actually buy a house in 1976. 26, 000 in the SF Bay Area. Moved to Reno, bought my house for 42, 000 and am still living in it and the only way I'll leave here is in a pine box. I really feel for young working people and the way things have become, the haves and the have nots. Never thought I would see that in the US and yet, here we are. My house is 1400 square feet that is small by most of today's standards (one thing that makes housing less affordable) and I'm just fine with it. That apartment would be really difficult for me at this point in my life.

It is like a hotel suite, and I imagine, just as loud, hearing your neighbors, people talking and walking down the hallway, plumbing problems. For a month or two, maybe, but long term, this could be where our mental health crisis comes from.

I really liked your video Russell! These apartment tours are very interesting.

[CharlotteBrown-bhcd]

Nice Job ! Very interesting and good content. Thank you 👍

[JimLay]

It looks exactly like a 50 year old Russian apartment with newer furnishings. And I use the "furnishings" generously.

[Unknown.User.]

It's an ordinary Russian entry door. Double locks are not for security. The lock below is the main lock and it is a rather secure lock. But the upper lock is simple, it is a service lock for the case when you need to give keys to some service person like realtor, electrician or domestic help.

Thats real nice much bigger & better than the pokey little flat i live in cost me £1500 a month just rent not included bills. London prices are killing the city.

[shashisonu]

For a studio, it looked very good...I would say adding cabinetry above the refrigerator would have added quite a bit of storage space..loved the efficient use of bathroom space

[Jayna-dt]

Another informative video. Thank you Russell. 👍

[robertcovino]

Thank you for showing us a side of Russia westerners rarely get to see. I truly enjoy your videos. As an electrician I’d love to see my fellow electricians in Russia going about their work day. Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year that I pray brings peace. 🍻

[darrellspraggins]

Thanks again Russel for the great tour! I'am really astounded how inexpensive Russia is compared to the U.S. I don't know of any rentals here that are so new and furnished like they are in Russia. My daughter lives outside of Wilmington, North Carolina and pays $1, 600 per month for a two bedroom apartment. Her daycare is $1, 200 per month. She has a Master's degree and brings home $3, 000 per month. The apartment and daycare are some of the most inexpensive where she lives. Young people in the U.S. have a really hard time making a living etc. No public transportation available.

Nice!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Maui, Hawaii

I love this series, so happy that you're making more of these videos! Always enjoying them. If you can, for next time, please show family apartments like 2 or 3 bedrooms, something a typical family would rent or buy.

When I got my first Big City Job I rented my first apartment. Things were going fine until the neighbours in the next apartment started cooking. They were um, ethnic and they cooked ethnic food. Stinky ethnic food. So my first day on the job my brand new suit smelled like what they had for dinner last night. I had to keep all my clothes in sealed Rubbermaid tubs and change in the bathroom with the vent on High. I did this for a year and then rented a house in the suburbs. So no, I couldn't live there

[chiefenumclaw]

Thank you, Sir! Always love the apartment videos.

For those who are talking about how small that apartment is, try living in New York City. An old, ugly mini apartment with no independent bathroom, no kitchen, no space for eating, and just a shower cubicle, toilet, and tiny sink goes for over $1, 200 dollars. The Russian apartment is small but comfortable enough for one person and is new. It has lots of light and a balcony. There is a pretty kitchen, a bathroom with a washing machine and a bedroom with a closet! The same size apartment in Manhattan (in a new building) would be so expensive! It would cost between $ 2, 900-$4, 000 dollars a month, depending on the location.
