“Snegiri”—a cozy eco-neighborhood

In October, we closed a good deal at the “Snegiri Eco” complex, and I remembered that back in September, this project caught the eye of my iPhone’s camera, but I never got around to posting the photos back then. I’m making up for it now.

Before I tell you about the complex itself, I want to delve a little into the meaning of the interesting prefix “eco.” In modern language, the word “eco” in a name is perceived as something pure and natural, although the word itself comes to us from Greek, where oikos means “home,” and for the Greeks, this wasn’t just a building, but a home in the broadest sense—a union of a place to live, people, and the nature surrounding them. Beautiful.

A black Maybach pulls off the Ring Road and ends up in Ramenki—a clean neighborhood in the prestigious southwestern part of Moscow. Above us lie Victory Park and Kutuzovsky Prospekt; to the right and below, the Moscow State University campus and the Moskva River, which borders Khamovniki on one bank and the “Vorobyovy Gory” nature reserve on the other.

We approach the entrance leading to the gated community of “Snegiri Eco.” On one side of the complex, we see a well-established urban neighborhood and the phallic towers of “Donstroy,” and on the other—the “Mosfilm Pond” with a cozy park that transitions into the “Setun River Valley” nature reserve. “Snegiri” seems to hover between the city and nature.

On a private, fenced-in five-hectare site, the developer has combined a dozen small, 4- to 5-story club-style townhouses, a landscaped park sloping down to the pond, and decent amenities for residents. The complex features the “Snegiri” private school, playgrounds, and a private gym. Next year, a small restaurant with a summer terrace and a mini-market will open. But there’s plenty of infrastructure outside the complex as well.

The houses on the edge of the complex are just a few meters from a picturesque pond with shaded walking paths, duck houses, the occasional angler, and green hills where you can spread out a blanket in the summer and have a picnic by the water just two minutes from home.

The apartments feature panoramic windows on three sides, as well as balconies and terraces. The developer handed over the building at the end of last year and this summer completed landscaping of the grounds and finishing work on the lobbies in some of the buildings.

Apartment buyers have received their keys and begun renovations, and some are even already living there. Timati bought one of the apartments in this project for himself. In my photos, you can see what the neighborhood looked like this fall.

Prices start at 435,000₽ per square meter on the lower floors and reach 700,000–900,000₽ for apartments with views on the upper floors and for units with terraces. We currently have about 40 apartments left for sale, ranging in size from 120 to 360 square meters.
