The Moscow district in St. Petersburg is called the " southern gate of the city. " This is due to geographical location. It is located in the southern part of the metropolis.
In the twenties of the last century, the Moscow region began to change its appearance. So, the Ligovsky Canal was filled up, and now the avenue of the same name passes there. Already in the 30s the district became the ceremonial part of the then Leningrad. The main and oldest highway of the city passes through it - Moskovsky Prospect, which, in turn, connects the roads: Moskovskoye, Kievskoye Shosse. On the territory of the Moscow region is Pulkovo Airport.
Industrial Center of St. Petersburg
As for the ecology of the region, it is in a satisfactory condition. The northern part, which is adjacent to the Bypass channel, is considered cleaner than the southern part. At the same time, in some places the soil is recognized as extremely polluted . AOOT Farmakon is the main enterprise that pollutes not only the Moscow region, but the entire city.
In the area there are a lot of recreation areas: parks, squares, boulevards. However, artificial reservoirs located in the center of the Moscow region can hardly be called perfectly clean. It's all about the presence of large and small industrial enterprises. Ligovsky Canal, Obvodny Canal and Volkovka have always been considered highly contaminated.
Approximately three hundred thousand people live in the Moscow region. As in all large cities, people with medium and high incomes live closer to the center. Successful entrepreneurs and famous politicians do not seek to acquire real estate on the outskirts of the Moscow region of St. Petersburg . In the southern part of the Northern capital there are more people with middle incomes, and many people from the North Caucasus. In general, the distribution of the population in the district is uniform.
Real estate in the Moscow region
If we talk about the cost per square meter of housing, then in the center everything is much more expensive than on the outskirts. Although, of course, there are exceptions to the rules. The most expensive part of the district is the one that stretches from Victory Park to Moscow Square. Once Stalin's buildings towered here, today these five-story buildings are buried in the urban landscape against the backdrop of high-rise modern houses. It has an excellent infrastructure, many different shops and small office centers. But even the noise of the capital avenue cannot affect the value of real estate in this part of the district. In this part of the district, located closer to the outskirts, a person with average incomes will hardly succeed in acquiring even a one-room apartment.
Transport
In the Moscow region, things are better with him than in other areas of St. Petersburg. You can get to important places from almost any street, including Pulkovo Airport. In the future, it is planned to commission new metro stations. Despite the fact that they will be opened in the neighboring Frunze district, the load on the most popular public transport routes will decrease precisely in the Moscow region.
District Infrastructure
The area is one of the most densely populated in the city. Economic, social, trade infrastructure is highly developed. About forty schools, several technical schools, colleges, and over seventy kindergartens work here. There are city and private dentistry, hospitals, clinics, sports complexes, youth clubs, swimming pools, art and music schools. Near Victory Park is a large campus.
Moskovsky district is a great place not only for living, but also for work. Moreover, this part of the Northern capital was convenient for specialists in many areas, and especially industry, not only in the 21st century. So, in the middle of the 19th century several enterprises were opened on this territory, the most famous of which are the Retsche plant (the current WagonMash ), the soap factory known throughout the country, and other enterprises.
The criminogenic situation in the Moscow region is considered relatively prosperous when compared with other areas. There are no major railway stations or other crowded places. Crimes committed in the Moscow region - theft, robbery, theft on the streets.
Historical monuments
There are several interesting sights in the area. This is a memorial dedicated to the defenders of Leningrad, Moscow Victory Park, which grows about 17 species of trees, and the Chesme Church. The temple was erected long before the founding of the Moscow region. It was built on the orders of Catherine II in honor of the soldiers who fought in the Russian-Turkish war. Unfortunately, not all natural and architectural monuments have survived to our days (for various reasons).
Tourists primarily pay attention to the large bell tower, which also came to us not in its original form. Another architectural monument from those located in the Moscow region of St. Petersburg is the Resurrection Novodevichy Convent. It was open to parishioners even under Elizabeth Petrovna. This temple today pleases with its beauty both indigenous people and visitors to the city on the Neva .
