Instead, like any expatriation it must be prepared, this is why In'pat has developed a wide range of services that will help you throughout this transition so that everything goes smoothly.
Moscow
Moscow with it’s thousand golden domes, stumbles and staggers to the rhythms of his new revolution: the dollar’s reign began in the former Communist empire. Life in Moscow can seem complicated, but if you are prepared before your expatriation, then it becomes exciting!
The Rents
Rents are very high in Moscow: this contributes to making it one of the most expensive in the world. The amount of rent depends not only on the location of the apartment, but also its size, its general condition, the standing of the building, the quality of its security system, its facilities and possible presence of a parking.
In downtown, the 3 key factors that influence the cost of the rent is the area (in square meters in Russia), the number of units (which corresponds to the number of rooms, as in France) and the general condition of the apartment. Note: a "studio" in Moscow is actually 2 / 3 rooms whose only characteristic is to have a kitchen.
Advices
Because of the proximity of the Embassy and French schools, the Francophone community is concentrated in the center of Moscow, near subway stations Chistye Prudy, Bolshaya Iakimanka (near the Embassy), Oktiabrskaya, Polyanka, Tretyakovskaya , Pushkinskaya and Lioubianka (near the French high school). The outlying neighborhoods such as Dinamo are also quite taken by the expatriate community.
