An interesting trend in Moscow: garage cooperatives are converted into residential areas.
An interesting trend in Moscow: garage cooperatives are converted into residential areas. The owners rent out their boxes as apartments for rent from other cities. "When told friends that live in the garage, they nodded sympathetically. Poor man, thought - smiling, Alexander. - And when they came to visit, you are surprised, how cool everything is arranged. It was almost a two-story house with a basement, which costs the price of one room in a high-rise building ».
Alexander 25 years. Hailing from Borisov in Minsk studied electrical engineering at college. Three years ago he moved from Minsk to Moscow. He lived in several apartments, and the last three months filming a garage near the Third Ring Road. Now he returned to Georgia and talked about their experiences.
In Moscow, Alexander spent three years. Time enough to make - this - in 2010 met a girl from Moscow, she offered to move in with her, - says Alexander. - Year and a half we lived in her apartment, then fled. What's next: remove expensive housing or return to Belarus? Then came to the rescue friends from college - they also settled in Moscow. Move in, say to us in the garages.
To live in the garage - it sounds probably wildly. But for Moscow, as it turned out, it is in order. Owners of garages in the cooperatives have realized how you can earn, built on the second floor, had a communication. Living - live.
My first garage was left without water, and from furniture was only one bed. Fortunately, I lived there for long. Met a girl - moved to an apartment. Our relationship lasted a year. Then again called friends in the garage, but in another area. Garages in co-op split-level, with heightened second floor. Bottom - iron gate, on top - the only window. In each box sewerage, water, electricity, electric boiler for heating. On the walls - personal counters.

Alexander the owner had arranged to pay $ 600 a month. So much in Moscow today cost to rent the room in good repair. Here the same money, but the area is disproportionately - two floors and a basement. And complete freedom.
- $ 600 for a garage - is the average price. My friends who have had a decent furniture and infrared sauna, pay per month 1000, - says Alexander. - For 200-300 you can remove the box, which will be just the bare walls.
On the ground floor there is no one living - no windows. Many use it as a studio. Went down - you're at work, rose - at home. It's incredibly convenient for Moscow. No more traffic jams. Beside me lived a man from Brest - on the ground floor, he repaired the car. I kept only at the bottom of the bike and some of the useful things in the economy.
