Search for apartment

>> Thursday, September 16, 2010

I've been looking for a good-looking apartment in Moscow for a week now, and all with no success. Most of the places are either extremely expensive or ultra-ugly. If you ever plan to move here, keep in mind that housing is ridiculously overpriced. And on top of that, working with estate agents is a pain.

New follower here - hope that's okay! I'm sorry your apartment search in Moscow isn't going so great. I'll probably face the same problem in New York City next year from the sounds of it (NYC = super overpriced housing that's very often ugly, if it's at all affordable).

Hello, Lauren!
Thanks for joining!
Do you have a blog too?
As for the apts, I very much understand you. I lived in NYC 2 months this summer, and to find an apartment was extremely hard. However, in NYC at least you can find some good-looking apartments with some taste and style being put in there. As for Moscow, the esthetics for housing decoration here are far from being polished and sophisticated.

YW. =) I'm over at amicablybananas.blogspot.com. NYC is hugely artsy and VERY into being a major metropolis, so taste and style does get put into everything, which is probably why it's usually so expensive to live there! All I know from Moscow I've seen from pictures (I took Russian for 9 years in school), but it did seem more concentrated on functionality rather than aesthetics.
