Buying a Cottage in a Cottage Settlement

According to statistics, the majority of buyers of cottages, houses, and townhouses located in cottage settlements take into account these five main factors: the cottage price, location, infrastructure, distance from the city, landscape, and ecology.


If we consider specific cottages of Saint Petersburg, and look at those cottage settlements near Petersburg that are popular with buyers, one cannot but single out the cottage towns near Novaya Riga and the Dmitrovskoye Highway. The popularity of the Novaya Riga cottage towns even eclipses the once-fashionable Rublyovka. Although this segment features the highest prices for country houses, cottage settlements near Petersburg remain more popular with consumers who understand that one should not pay money just for an unconfirmed status.


The cottage towns near Petersburg, built in the direction of the Novorizhskoye Highway, are attractive to future owners due to excellent transport accessibility. After all, the cottage settlements on Novorizhskoye Highway are well connected not only with the capital of the Russian Federation — the historic Saint Petersburg — but also with the golden-domed Moscow. Built a couple of years ago, Krasnopresnensky Prospekt became that path leading residents of any cottage settlement under Novaya Riga to Moscow, bypassing all obstacles.


In addition to transport links, cottage settlements in the vicinity of Petersburg, located on the Novorizhskoye, Dmitrovskoye and Kaluzhskoye Highways, attract buyers of country real estate with their pristine natural zones and wonderful landscapes. The dust and noise of an overcrowded metropolis do not carry into the Novaya Riga cottage settlements, making the air here clean and untouched by dust, dirt, exhausts, or noisy voices. The cottage settlements near Novaya Riga are surrounded only by clean rivers and lakes, green forests, and magnificent nature.


The range of country real estate on Novaya Riga, offered by modern developers, is very extensive. It includes not only cottage settlements on Novorizhskoye Highway, but also small houses.

The most interesting sites located near Novorizhskoye, such as Arkhangelskoye, the Iosifo-Volokolamsky Monastery, the New Jerusalem and others, only increase the demand for cottage settlements on Novorizhskoye Highway. In terms of impressions, these places are the most persuasive arguments for buyers of country real estate, who are conservative at heart.


Well-developed infrastructure along Novorizhskoye Highway and the geographic proximity of the Rublevo-Uspenskaya thoroughfare make purchasing cottages particularly advantageous, since this district and the real estate located here are among the most prestigious in the current suburban housing market.
