Today we will tell you what a good apartment in Stalinka, and why it is not worth buying. If you are going to buy a house soon, I advise you to familiarize yourself with this material.

Apartment in Stalinka First I want to decide on the name. It is likely that many people do not know what these “Stalinki” are and what they eat with.

Why are these homes still so popular? The answer is simple: everything is known by comparison. The next generation of homes was built in haste. In the construction of “Khrushchev” and “Brezhnevok” was much more important speed, as well as the number of houses, but certainly not their convenience. So it turned out that for a long time the most comfortable houses were the old "Stalinki".

What a good "Stalinki" In architectural terms, these houses have many advantages. One of the most important is considered large area and high ceilings. For people who are interested in free space, this factor can be decisive. I am one of those people who is constantly cramped in the apartment and like there is not enough air. If you feel the same, then I advise you to think about an apartment with a similar layout.

As you can see, the shortcomings of Stalin’s houses mainly concern not only them, but also all the old housing.

Sometimes neighbors may not meet the most favorable kind. It’s not strange because the house has been around for years.
