From the good old England, where in the nineteenth century such an idea was born - to build up the second half of the house for an expanding family, duplexes came to Moscow region - economy class and for the elite. From Latin, this word translates as "a house in half." And much earlier appeared in the suburbs of economy class duplexes. Townhouses, flat, Dan and other houses began to be built later.
What is the difference?
Already the name speaks about differences. In the Moscow region, duplexes of economy class and any other are always made as two houses in one, with a common foundation and a common roof. The inputs are different. A townhouse, for example, consists of several, sometimes many sections. In the Moscow Region, economy class duplexes are no longer being built for gentlemen who wish to live with their relatives to drink tea on the same veranda in the morning. More often than not, one family buys one half, and the family of strangers the second.
However, it often acquires economy class duplexes in the suburbs and the only owner. And then rents half out. This is a common move. But most often, buyers are completely alien families. In some cases, this does not prevent them from coexisting peacefully, making friends, and even getting in touch from time to time. What is attractive duplexes with finishing economy class in the suburbs? First of all, autonomy and at the same time the possibility of fairly close communication, and when necessary, mutual assistance.
English or spanish style?
There are a lot of economy class duplexes in the Moscow Region, and those that are built in the English style are more popular. They are most often executed in a two-story version, although there are quite a few varieties inside this style. Even in the names of the villages you can already see the architectural difference. “Chalet”, “Belo Horizonte”, “Attache”, “Onegin” - obviously different contents await future residents. Different and prices. Duplexes in the suburbs of the economy class are far from all, more often it is a business class.
You can also meet the Spanish style. This is usually a simple two-story house, divided into two families by floor or block by block. There are other species, but they can not be found in the suburbs. This is an American duplex, for example. There are also many discrepancies, in each state, two-family houses are built especially: in Chicago - semi-detached houses, in Philadelphia - any house with two entrances, as well as in Canada. In some states, even two separate dwellings are called duplex, but on the same site.
Where to buy duplex?
Cottage housing continues to break records in demand. And the reasons are clear: such houses are quite economical to operate. Developers have clearly felt this and are going to meet increased demand. In principle, there was no direction left from the MKAD where cottage villages would not be built. It is hardly possible to characterize all of them, and it’s not even worth listing, since this is not enough space for this article.
Therefore, it is better to dwell on one or two. Many features of suburban housing are the same for any village outside the Moscow Ring Road, the difference will be revealed only in details. Typically, the developer takes care of utilities, to ensure that gas, electricity and water supply, telephone network and television are provided. Of course, even without modern roads today, not a single new building can be commissioned. But somewhere there will be its own water treatment, and somewhere transport accessibility will be better. Therefore, each buyer will choose from today's abundant offer of real estate what he wants, or what his wallet is capable of.
LCD "Golden Valley"
This is a cottage village, and very attractive. Duplexes are not planned here, but there are cottages with two entrances, which, in principle, is only named differently. And here are good townhouses. Heating is carried out from its own boiler room, which is a big plus, and the management company from the developer, which is located here, takes care of all the services. So, there will be someone to ask if something is wrong.
Recreation areas are ennobled, roads are down, there is no industry in the nearest territories, there is a lot of greenery, the capital is not far - only twenty-seven kilometers, the direction Kiev is in demand. The project is attractive for buyers, because the plots are sold quickly enough. The whole village occupies forty-six hectares, around the forest, the picturesque banks of the Desna. The residential complex is designed competently, in a single style, it looks holistic.
Attractions, infrastructure
There are many ancient monuments in the district. These are temples, monasteries. For example, under Dmitry Donskoy in the fourteenth century, the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker was erected, which is ten kilometers from the residential complex.
In the village there are many shops, a restaurant, consumer services, a gym and more. There are also outdoor sports grounds with equipped basketball, volleyball and tennis courts. Planned to build their own school and kindergarten. Nearby settlements: Marushkino, Aprelevka and several others, where there is also a very developed infrastructure that you can use.
Zelenogradsky and others
Ready-made duplex of timber can be purchased in the village of Zelenogradsky, where two hundred such houses are being built. The interior decoration is cottage, but the price is much lower. There is gas, water, digital television. But the heating of economy class duplexes is individual. The nature is beautiful, right on the territory is a lake with recreation areas.
You can look at the duplex in the Mozhaisk direction in the village of Krona. Quite large plots are sold cheaply here, since the planned construction was before the crisis. The village is already fully built. Very cozy - a real nest, twisted in nature. But away from Moscow, by car, the journey will take about half an hour from the Moscow Ring Road, if traffic jams do not interfere.
