Realtor: the most popular area for renting an apartment in Kazan is Novo-Savinovsky district

Realtor Linura Panfilova told Realnoe Vremya that the pricing of rental apartments depends on the demand of citizens for this service. She added that the pricing of such housing is also influenced by the time of year, that is, the peak of demand is summer and autumn, winter is a “dead” period, and with the arrival of spring, demand begins to gain momentum again.

She added that the main role in calculating the cost of an apartment is primarily played by transport accessibility, especially such a means of transportation as the metro. The presence of shopping centres and parks nearby is rarely taken into account.

“The most popular in terms of rent is the Novo-Savinovsky district, there are both expensive and cheap options. One thing is in the centre there is an expensive one that no one needs. And if there is the same quality in the quarter, there will be a queue of ten people for it," the realtor said.
