Re: The Best Areas to Live in Russia

We chose to live in Frunzenskaya, on the Red metro line. We are overlooking the Moskva river and are very close to the footbridge to Gorky Park.
We love this area because it is so green! In the summer we go skating along the river, all the way around Luzhniki, which is also a great area to explore.
Gorky Park is great in summer and winter. In the summer you can sunbathe by the river (where there are also showers), hire a bicycle or stroll in the park. Every weekend there are events, like pop concerts, films, etc. Kids can do tree climbing or play in lots of playgrounds in the park.
In the winter the biggest ice rink of eastern Europe is there for several month.
There are enough shops in Frunzenskaya and there is a market in the summertime every day (close to the metro station).
It is only 3 stops to get you to the heart of the city, the Red Square.
