Living in Moscow: Rentals and Neighborhoods

Housing options in Moscow vary by location, building, size, amenities and rental period. When comparing them, consider whether the location, type of agreement and amenities suit your planned stay or purpose.

Location and everyday life

Compare travel times to work, study and key destinations, access to public transport, and nearby shopping. A central location can shorten journeys to some parts of the city, while outlying residential areas differ in commuting time and immediate surroundings.

Amenities and rental arrangements

When comparing apartments, important factors include whether they are furnished, their size and condition, and which utility costs are included. The rental period and level of furnishing should suit your stay.
