Housing with History
Buying secondary real estate in Odesa, you immediately get into a populated and equipped area. Secondary housing differs from new buildings by the presence of tall trees creating shade, coolness in the yard, and absorbing noise and dust. Also, because all buildings around are already built, there is no construction noise and dust.
Although among new buildings in Odesa there are compact point-built houses in developed areas. For example, Residential Complex Voskhod on Tairova, Building on Zaporozhskaya on Moldavanka, Bezalel in the city center.
Infrastructure Facilities, Schools and Kindergartens
In the established neighborhoods of Odesa that were built in the 1980s and earlier, a large number of infrastructure facilities in the trade, household services, pharmacy, public catering, sports and fitness, education and healthcare sectors have already been created and are functioning.
In newly constructed residential complexes, part of the premises is designed as non-residential and over time shops, pharmacies and other commercial facilities appear there. As for social infrastructure facilities, kindergartens, schools, polyclinics — in recent years such facilities rarely appear within the boundaries of residential complex construction.
In light of recent changes and administrative assignment of houses to specific schools, it is important in the process of choosing a new building to understand which exact school your child will attend, and whether this school lies within the administrative boundaries of the city of Odesa.
Lower Construction Density
The design and construction of residential quarters in Soviet times envisaged sufficient space for green areas, promenades, children's playgrounds and sports areas. Maximum building height — 16 floors. During construction, illumination and insolation standards were observed. Together with the organization of parking lots on the outskirts of residential areas, this ensures convenient access to the house and no traffic jams in inter-yard passages.
In residential areas built in recent years by Odesa construction companies, little attention is paid to these issues. Even despite the construction of underground parking lots, it is necessary to assess the provision of parking spaces, the availability of sufficient entrances and exits from the residential complex territory to district and city roads.
Apartment in a New Building in Odesa
The first few years of living in an apartment of a new residential complex may be accompanied by construction and renovation noise and dust — both in the yard and in neighboring apartments. However, these inconveniences may turn out to be insignificant compared to the advantages of new and quality housing, which provides everything for comfortable living.
New Communications, Engineering Systems and Autonomy
Often, developers of new residential complexes in Odesa lay new pipes, build their own transformer substations sometimes with several power inputs. To ensure uninterrupted operation of engineering systems, the building is equipped with a high-power diesel‐t.
