5 reasons to buy a house in a Khrushchev-era building
Firstly, the price of such housing is attractive; it can cost 30-40% less than a similar-sized apartment in a new building.
Secondly, as they say, they used to build for centuries, which is why Khrushchev-era buildings differ from modern new buildings in the thickness of their walls, which can exceed the thickness of the walls of new buildings by 10-20 centimeters.
And yet, despite their compactness, Khrushchev-era apartments delight with high ceilings, which helps create the effect of spaciousness.
It is also believed that old communications are not a sign of quality. However, they have often already undergone major repairs, while in new buildings the developer often uses cheap and short-lived materials.
And we shouldn’t forget that the old courtyards were surrounded by greenery, while the space in front of modern new buildings is often completely given over to parking.
