For many Russians, studio apartments have become an opportunity to solve acute problems with housing. Such apartments are cheaper due to the minimum number of partitions in the apartment.
A plus for such a living space is affordability. Despite the fact that the cost per square meter of such housing is higher than that of ordinary apartments, the bottom line is that a studio is cheaper.
“Studios are the most affordable housing, and such apartments will always find their buyer, especially in situation of a decrease in real incomes of the population, - says Olga, Director of the Advertising and Marketing Department of the Polis Group Group Ulyanov. “People live in studios, as a rule, until they can afford something bigger or until there is a need for a larger apartment.”
Such apartments are a very good purchase if you live in a metropolis - you can choose the best location in relation to the metro, while not overpaying for extra squares.
“In fact, a studio is a place where a person comes from work to sleep,” the expert comments. - For this, it turns out, an area of 25-30 square meters is quite enough. m. Apart from transport accessibility, there are almost no other requirements. If for a family, especially with children, the proximity of a school, kindergarten, park is of paramount importance, then for a studio resident it is not so important. We see huge complexes on the market, 50 thous. sq. m, which almost entirely consist of studios. And they find their buyer - a person for whom this is the first time flat, the first home of their own. In fact, this is a “staging post” for those who do not plan to start a family yet. And, of course, studios are a convenient product for investors. "
“Studios are often bought for lease,” comments Asya Levneva, director of the marketing and sales department of Baltic Pearl CJSC. - This format of real estate is usually considered for temporary residence by those who come to the city to work or on a business trip. Therefore, the greatest demand is for studios in residential complexes near metro stations. "
