More relatively recently, purchasing housing in an apartment building, buyers were more oriented by the basic characteristics of such real estate. This is the location of the house, its type, apartment area, its layout, number of rooms, etc. D. Today, buyers began to pay more attention and other characteristics of housing, in particular, the surrounding infrastructure. At the same time, realtors note that providing the territory around an apartment building at least a minimum infrastructure significantly increases the attractiveness of real estate. So, the improvement of the house territory can increase the cost of economy-class housing by about 10%. If several public transport routes pass near the house, the cost will increase by another 3-5%. Approximately 2-3% adds to the cost a convenient location of kindergartens and schools. And the same is the presence of a parking lot. It is interesting that in Soviet times, from the very beginning of mass construction, attempts were made to improve the territory, the creation of various trade and household objects on the first floors of apartment buildings. However, in that era, the placement of these objects had nothing to do with the needs of the residents of a particular house. Today, the picture has changed, since domestic urban builders are trying to put into practice the standards of countries with a more developed market for such housing. Several options are possible here. So, in agreement with developers and organizations managing apartment buildings, small kindergartens, gym, gaming complexes, etc. can be arranged on the first floors. D. In addition, it is allowed to transfer the house plots to the use of the residents of apartments located on the first floors for the organization of flower beds or playgrounds. However, it should be remembered that if you purchase such an apartment and are ready to improve the adjacent territory, you will have to obey the clear regulations acting in relation to fences, landscaping, buildings (for example, it is prohibited from building garages, since multi -level parking lots and ordinary parking lots are managed by developers or areas other similar organizations).When choosing real estate, pay attention to the infrastructure at the level of the quarter or microdistrict, for the presence of green spaces, recreational or trade zones – this will continue to depend.
