The city of Khimki is very popular with developers and their customers. The increased demand for real estate is due to the many infrastructure facilities available here, excellent ecology, and most importantly, the proximity to Moscow, the center of which is less than 20 km. In 2017, in Khimki, a new very attractive LCD “Forest Corner” came into operation. Now there are only a few apartments left for sale.
This article provides detailed information about the features of this housing complex, its infrastructure, layouts, transport accessibility and the opinions of those who have already bought housing here.
Location
In a very picturesque and comfortable place to live is the LCD "Forest Corner". He has such a mailing address - Opanasenko Street, plot number 5. Leninsky Prospekt passes nearby. The complex was built on the banks of the Khimki River, the channel of which in this area has expanded so much that it looks like a wonderful little lake. Immediately after it begins a forest park. Part of the green spaces beautifully frames the complex, creating a wonderful ecology and a lot of opportunities for its residents not only to admire the beauty of nature from the windows of apartments, but also to take daily walks along shady alleys and paths.
Near the complex there are other natural sites. Moscow Canal is about 200 meters away, and Khimki Forest Park begins 450 meters away. The closest neighbors of the Lesnoy Corner complex are: a sanatorium, Streletsky residential complex and Dubrava residential complex, and another residential complex consisting of three high-rises is erected across the road. Also surrounded by the complex are one-story private sector houses. The nearest industrial enterprises “Energomash” and “Fakel” are located a few kilometers from the “Forest Corner” and are not affected by the ecology of the region.
Transport accessibility
While there is no consensus on transport amenities for residents of the LCD "Forest Area". Khimki is a city, although located near Moscow, but due to frequent traffic jams, it is not possible to get to many of its areas from the capital quickly. The "Forest Corner" was built near Leninsky Prospekt. Turning left on it, you can go onto the M11 highway after 600 meters. Following in the opposite direction, after 2.7 km you can get to the Leningrad highway.
A bus stop from the farthest housing of the LCD is 700 meters away, which is certainly convenient. But constant traffic jams even on all nearby streets create problems for motorists and those who use public transport.
The large-scale construction of housing complexes, which unfolded near the "Forest Corner", in the future can only aggravate the situation with transport. A good option for residents of this area is the railway. Khimki station, which is about 1,500 meters away. Subway construction near the complex is not planned.
Complex infrastructure
LCD "Forest Corner" was built by the construction company "Clover Group". Although she is not among the ten leaders in Moscow, she tried to make this complex as convenient as possible for its residents. In total, 9 eight- and nine-story buildings were built here.
The territory of the complex is already fenced and guarded. Entrances are available both from the side of the river, and from the private sector. Several playgrounds were built on the territory of the residential complex, lawns and flowerbeds were destroyed. In buildings No. 1 to No. 3, as well as in building No. 9, apartments are located on the ground floors. In building No. 4 on the ground floor, HOA offices are equipped; in building No. 5, the first floor is given as a kindergarten for 55 children. A shopping center was built in building No. 7, and a sports club in building No. 8. Parkings in the complex are equipped with ground and underground, in which a place for one car costs from 700,000 rubles, but there are also family options.
Infrastructure around

Architecture and design
