In 1961, the village of Sviblovo was annexed to the territory of Moscow. Currently, Sviblovo is a district, a municipal district located in the northeast of the Russian capital. It has some characteristic features of a sleeping area: not too noisy, green, with the necessary infrastructure, located in a great distance from the center of Moscow. But recently, due to overcrowding in Sviblovo, many urgent problems have arisen.
Currently, about 62 thousand people live in Sviblovo.
Territory
Sviblovo covers an area of 80 hectares. There are 37 enterprises here, among which state-owned enterprises - the Moscow Mirror Plant, an asphalt plant, Lira OJSC and others. In the floodplain of the Yauza River is a nature reserve, occupying a considerable part of the area. There is the famous estate Old Sviblovo, which in the XV-XVI centuries was the cultural center of Moscow. The nature reserve, the Sviblovo stadium and Kapustinsky pond are favorite vacation spots for residents of the region.
The town-planning potential of the Sviblovo region is estimated by experts as high, therefore, with the right approach, Sviblovo has good prospects to become one of the most comfortable areas of Moscow and Russia as a whole.
Ecology
Sviblovo's ecology is characterized as favorable. This area is considered to be one of the cleanest and greenest in the Russian capital. However, a cement plant is actively operating here, which negatively affects the ecology of nearby streets.
Infrastructure
The infrastructure in Sviblovo is well developed: there are schools and kindergartens, music schools (including the Skryabin music school), a library, two universities, as well as other educational and cultural institutions. On the territory of the district there are two clinics (children's and adult). According to residents of the district, they do not cope very well with the flow of people, and the quality of medical care is not at the highest level. By 2020, it is planned to put into operation a new large clinic.
Transport
In Sviblovo, public transport is well developed. There are two metro stations, buses and tram number 17. There are two railway platforms within walking distance from the Sviblovo district of Moscow.
Housing stock
A significant part of the housing stock of the Sviblovo district at the time of its accession to the capital was represented by five-story and nine-story panel Khrushchevs. In the 1990s, the demolition of dilapidated houses began, which ended in 2006. Today, many new apartment buildings have been built in the area.
Purchase and rental of housing
According to September 2018, the average rent for an apartment in the Moscow Sviblovo area is a little more than 43 thousand rubles. Those who are going to buy an apartment in Sviblovo will find it useful to know that the average price per square meter in this area is 193 thousand rubles.
An interesting fact: it was in Sviblovo that they shot an episode at a construction site from the beloved Soviet comedy Operation Y and Other Shurik Adventures.
Problems
Due to the construction, traffic jams occur regularly at the Botanichesky Sad metro station. Also, traffic jams occur at the exit of the area towards the center.
The cement plant located in the area has a significant impact on the environment. Residents of the streets adjacent to it notice dark dust on the windowsills and unsatisfactory air condition.
Residents of Sviblovo complain about the poor quality of roads and sidewalks, pits in the courtyards of apartment buildings, and unsatisfactory housing and communal services.
Due to the overpopulation of the area, a lot of problems arise, especially with regard to the lack of parking spaces.
Conclusion
Compared with the prestigious sleeping south-western regions of Moscow, Sviblovo, of course, loses. But housing is much more affordable, although prices, like throughout Moscow, are too high. Many people are concerned about the questions: “What Sviblovo area ?”, “ Is it suitable for a comfortable stay?” These questions can be answered positively. Safety, well-developed infrastructure, comfortable walking areas - all this has a calm measured life. But those who want their children to study in prestigious schools, want to live in the closest proximity to popular Moscow sights, it is worth choosing the south-western, western or central regions of Moscow for life.
