The housing issue is still relevant for many Russians, the demand for apartments still exceeds supply. But the prices for them in different regions are not the same, so for the same amount of money you can buy a three-room apartment in an elite house somewhere, and somewhere you can’t even buy a room in a communal apartment. The most expensive housing for many years remains real estate in the capital.

The most "expensive" Russian cities
According to statistics for 2013, the capital of Russia, the city of Moscow, remains the leader in the real estate market. This is due to the fact that this city is a center of cultural, business and economic activity, the head offices of all the largest industrial, mining and financial enterprises of the country are located here, active business, cultural and socio-political life is boiling here. What can not be said about many large settlements located east of the capital. Many industrial centers of the Urals, Siberia and the Far East are gradually stagnating, enterprises are stopping because their products are uncompetitive in the world market.
The cheapest housing at the end of 2013 can be purchased in Russian mono-cities, which are planned to be resettled as depressed: Togliatti, Astrakhan, Lipetsk, here a square meter costs less than 30 thousand rubles.
The average cost per square meter of housing in Moscow is more than 200 thousand rubles per square meter, the second most expensive city in the city - the Northern capital, St. Petersburg, almost doubles behind it - here a square meter costs an average of about 100 thousand rubles. An apartment in the Moscow region will cost 85 thousand rubles, Khabarovsk - 75 thousand, Sochi - 74.5 thousand, Yekaterinburg - 70.5 thousand rubles. These are the most expensive cities and territories of Russia.
