LCD Europeya in Krasnodar - is life possible like in Europe?
I was not going to write anything about the city of Krasnodar, but after walking around the sleeping area called Europeya, I thought that it makes sense to tell about it. Suddenly someone doesn't know. No, this is not a classic attraction, but in principle it can become one. All the same, Europea visually looks rather unusual for Russia and the closest thing that I have already seen was Krasnaya Polyana. A kind of zakos for Europe.
Fasting can be useful for those who are considering moving to Krasnodar and considering it as a place to live. And if we are to move, then why not to «Europe»?

A little about Krasnodar
Many times already passed Krasnodar past and even through, but never walked around the city. Therefore, this time I decided to stop by, especially if we are considering Sochi for wintering and generally buying an apartment there, then why not see Krasnodar as well. Here, too, a short and warm winter, and the sea and the mountains are literally 2 hours away by car, and prices for real estate, food and services are much lower than in Sochi. And on some issues, you still have to sometimes go from Sochi to Krasnodar (all sorts of tests / examinations, Ikea, Auchan, etc.), so it's not a bad option. Our friends have already lived in Krasnodar for a couple of years, others have recently moved from Thailand.
On the other hand, I understand that it is not a fact that it makes sense for us to twitch especially from Moscow, since it is unlikely that we will find a place that is much better in terms of the totality of the parameters we need. Therefore, I perceive my attempts to try on this or that city for moving as a kind of hobby. I like to come somewhere and instead of seeing the sights, I just live my usual life with trips to the supermarket, to the dentist, with walks in the nearest squares and parks, or even in sleeping areas. So it was in Krasnodar, my friends and I walked around some sleeping areas (Vostochno-Kruglikovskaya, Yubileiny, Europe, etc.), instead of looking for sights. Yes, and the city is not at all tourist, there is nothing special to see, it is enough to walk along Krasnaya and go to Sunny Island.
In Krasnodar, the global construction of residential areas, but so far half of the city is the private sector
Good quality trails through the city
I don't know about the others, but this crossing with an electric wheelchair ramp
I was surprised by the self-checkout counter in Magnet, and it turns out that all over Russia there are
Enka area, a couple of high-rise buildings, the rest is a private sector, so parking is ok
Near Vostochno-Kruglikovskaya street, very crowded, there is nowhere to park even during the day
Embankment in the district of Jubilee
Yubileiny district with mostly old and ugly buildings
Sunny Island - park and attractions
Krasnaya street in the center on weekends
The guy makes cotton candy to the music and dancing
Fountain on Red Street
Most of all, I did not like the roads in Krasnodar (although everything is known in comparison) - narrow and often broken-down, and an incomprehensible strange layout of the city. There was a feeling that there was no general plan, some kind of chaos: the private sector, industrial zones with warehouses, residential high-rise blocks, fields, everything was mixed. Although it may have happened historically, but I'm just not used to it. Repeatedly saw a multi-storey candle standing, and around the industrial zone, where to walk with the child and how to look at it from the window? Or there is a solid residential area for thousands of hectares without a break, but the road leads there a single-lane and the infrastructure clearly cannot serve it.

About Europe
I will not write in detail about other sleeping areas, I will only talk about Europe. Or rather, I'll show you the photos. Visually, I really liked it there. The territory is just gorgeous! Lawns, paths, playgrounds, there is a lake with a walking area and a cafe. And most importantly, the low number of storeys, which means there are no problems with parking, which is usually present in other districts of Krasnodar.
In reality, the whole project resembles European cities, cozy and cute. Maybe someone doesn't care, but our dull gray buildings, especially the old and shabby Khrushchev / Brezhnev buildings, drive me into depression. Combined with broken sidewalks / roads and a lack of flower beds / lawns, sleeping areas like Mordor look like. I know, someone will say zazhralis, but people are just accustomed to this already, although this is not normal in my opinion. Houses in new districts are built more attractively, but due to the high number of storeys and small distances between houses, it turns out some kind of gas chamber. I would generally live in a country ...
Lcd Europeya represents several zones: the German village, Europa City, Portugal, Italy, France, Spain and Modegrad. We walked around Europa City and the German Village, both quarters are almost completed. The rest of the micro-districts are in their infancy, with the exception of Portugal, there are already a dozen ready-made three-story buildings there. In total, the area of all Europe turns out to be huge, you don't go for a walk. This is true for families with children, in general, you can not go anywhere for walks, and the look rejoices every time when you leave the house. It remains only to wait until they finish their mega-project. But even now you can already fully feel all the delights of living there, if you buy an apartment in Europe City or the German Village, they are next to each other and their territory is enough for life.
Europe city
Europa-City is 7-9-storey houses of cheerful colors. They are relatively close together, there are enough parking spaces, playgrounds too. At the moment, the territory is not fenced off and I don't know if there are any plans to fence it off. An apartment can be bought, both in a building under construction, and already in a finished one. It is better to look at the prices on their website, for example, I looked at odnushki (38 sq.m.) and for 1.6-2 million you can take a finished one (depending on the floor and letter), or for 1.4 million at the excavation stage. Probably, if we decided to buy, then we would have taken the finished product here..

German village
The German village is the face of Europe, the calling card. It is here that the lake and the recreation area around it are located. The territory of the village is fenced, but residents of the same Europa City can come here without any problems. The buildings are different: large cottages, 5-storey and 3-storey buildings without an elevator (there are elevators in the buildings of Europe-City), townhouses, and a central complex of twelve 6-storey buildings, united under one roof and with a common underground parking. This sector is the most complete and finished. Also, a school and a kindergarten have already been built here..
I liked the idea of townhouses, not very high price, and still plenty of space to live. Townhouses are still under construction, you can buy. And the apartments are almost all sold out, as they were among the first to be built..
Cottages in the German Village
I think it's very nice, but expensive

A residence in Europe, it seems that initially I was going to build only such houses here
You can buy a plot and start your own project - a house for a small family

These are also townhouses, but their area is smaller.
Pros and cons
Of course, the visual component is not the most important thing when buying an apartment, but, unfortunately, I can’t tell you anything about the developer and other pitfalls, because I’m not a realtor. From a conversation with an acquaintance who bought an apartment there - the main problem is a delay of about 1-2 years. The construction is quite large-scale and I personally would not dare to buy something at the excavation stage. But the ready-made is quite possible to immediately call in, make repairs and live (well, or rent).
I will try to briefly describe the pros and cons of Europe for myself, but not in comparison with other regions of Krasnodar, but in general. It may not be entirely correct, but it is more convenient for me, because I am considering specific places to stay. I would be glad if you add something in the comments. I may be wrong about something, because in order to understand to the end, you have to live.
+ Very beautiful area, NOT depressed!
+ There is where to walk with the child, large spaces and playgrounds
+ No parking problem
+ Near Europa-City Big Magnet (about 2 km), to a large shopping center «the Red Square» can be reached in 15 minutes, to the city center in 30 minutes
+ Advantages of Krasnodar: 2 hours by car to the sea and mountains, warm climate, good ecology, affordable prices for everything in comparison with Moscow and Sochi, developed sports
- Delay in construction time
- I didn't really like the layouts of apartments in Europe City and Portugal
- On the forums they say that not very high-quality materials are used
- By the standards of Krasnodar, the area is located very far from the center
- Cons of Krasnodar: traffic jams, bad roads, nepotism, medicine and rehabilitation are so-so compared to Moscow, heat in summer

P.S. If someone from the marketing department of Europe sees this post, you can offer me a discount on the purchase of an apartment :) In turn, I can promise then to tell about you from the point of view of the buyer and, accordingly, the tenant.
