Krasnodar Residents Argue Over City's Best and Worst Districts

Debates about which district of Krasnodar is the best and which is the worst never cease. In January, they flared up again in local public groups — locals tried to explain to newcomers where in the city has the best infrastructure, many schools, clinics, and shops. If you are thinking about changing districts — listen up. Below, 93.RU has collected comments from city residents.

Which district of Krasnodar to choose for living?

«Old Center, Postovaya, Pushkina, Oktyabrskaya, Kondratenko. The best districts. On Zheleznodorozhnaya it«s good, trams go to any part of the city, everywhere is within walking distance, everything is within a short walk. Three kindergartens within 5 minutes from home, school also within five minutes, clinics, hospitals, universities, Kuban stadium, parks. I like it here.

But on Oktyabrskaya I like it even more, but there it takes about 10 minutes to walk to school, and a lot of cars on Pushkina. On weekends, there are almost no people, quiet and calm. Many parks, squares, the Kuban River. Super! There is nothing better than the center. The only downside — trees are being cut down and it«s hot in summer. But for example, in the Komsomolsky microdistrict, there are many trees, the air is cleaner than in the center. In the center, the air is bad. Yubileiny is also not bad»;

«Festivalny (Kazbek Street) — if you have a car. Moskovsky (Baibakova, Koryakina, Kotlyarova, Solnechnaya streets) — good transport accessibility, there are tram stops.

ZhK Symphony (Rossiyskaya Street 70-74), the area near the restaurant «Basturma», tram stop on Dekabristov, about 500 meters away. And these districts don«t flood during heavy rains, well, except sometimes only on Festivalny, where Yana Poluyana Street floats»;

«Seriously, to start, it«s better to live for 3-4 months in spring and summer in Krasnodar. The best district — Yubileiny, there are no new buildings here. And the biggest plus — the district is not through traffic, and honestly, there are many good regions and cities nearby»;

Which district is not worth choosing?

«In new ghetto districts like Muzykalny, Lyubimovo and similar, there is not a single local. Everything there was bought up by out-of-towners. And crime thrives there, constantly some news. Either one neighbor breaks into another neighbor«s with an axe, or in broad daylight suspicious individuals roam the stairwells and smash all the mailboxes… Constantly something happens… So it»s no wonder that even among themselves, newcomers find it hard to make friends there»;

«Muzykalny — the worst district. Slavyansky microdistrict — the only one without traffic jams, but you will drive into the city through jams. I do not recommend all sorts of dacha settlements (cottage, SNT). Khutor Kopanskoy and stanitsa Yelizavetinskaya — if you work remotely, they are quiet, convenient and very close to the city»;
