Kuban has a low crime rate, a wide choice of educational institutions, well-paid jobs and good housing prices. However, there are also negative aspects, because of which people think about whether it is worth moving to Krasnodar. You can read reviews about the city and life in it in our material.

Seismic zone

The unofficial capital of the Kuban has been developing very rapidly lately. According to research by scientists, over the past years, business activity has grown significantly here. Another advantage of this city over others is the speed of construction. In terms of the rate of exploitation of the living space, Ekaterinodar (this is the first name of the settlement) reaches the level of Moscow and St. Petersburg. In total, more than 100 large and experienced companies operate in this area of Russia.

Due to significant competition, each company tries to offer customers the most profitable product and price. Therefore, many people want to buy new apartments in this city and move to live in Krasnodar. The reviews of people who bought houses in the former Yekaterinodar are positive. Developers make sure that their work isat a high level.

There are a lot of private sectors in the city. The settlement itself is located in a zone of seismic activity, so skyscrapers are not built here. No earthquakes have been recorded in history. But in recent years, scientists have registered shocks with an intensity of 4 to 5 points.

Administrative Boundaries

Good prospects and the opportunity to purchase affordable housing attract people from all over the country to this region. Since 2008, the population has been continuously and steadily growing. At last count, the number of inhabitants was almost 830,000.

It should be noted that even with such a large number of inhabitants, the city of Krasnodar seems to many to be a province. Feedback from those who have moved is often negative, as it is difficult for new residents to adapt to an unusual environment.

In addition to Krasnodar itself, the district includes 29 more settlements. The city is divided into four distinctive districts. The largest of them, with an area of 475 km², is Prikubansky. This is where most of the population lives. 4% of the total area of the Kuban capital is occupied by the Western District. Its territory is 22 km².

Prestige and convenience

First, Yekaterinodar was built on the banks of the river. After the laying of the railway track, its districts stretched to the side, to the north. The main street is Red. The area adjacent to it is considered to be the middle of the city. Aurora, the Old Center and the CMR are the main districts of Krasnodar. Reviews of those who moved here are very diverse. Here, to a greater extent"Khrushchev" and "Stalinist" houses are concentrated. Housing prices in different parts of the city do not differ much.

Sleeping areas are located right in the center. There are elite developments that ordinary residents call the "Field of Miracles", because of the bizarre and extraordinary high-rise buildings.

ZIP is one of the best areas to live in. This is what the settlers say. The prices here are moderate, the center is nearby. There are universities and hospitals on the territory. There is a very large and clean park here.

Weather conditions

Many foreigners find it hard to survive the hot season. At first, people from other lands are pleased with the early warm spring and the protracted moderate autumn. The thermometers in April and May fluctuate between +12…+17 °С. The same temperature outside in September and October. Winters in this area are mild and short. Snow falls very rarely and does not lie for a long time. In January, February there is an average minimum of 0…+2 °С. But there are frosts down to -25 degrees.

However, Krasnodar strikes with summer temperature indicators. Reviews of those who moved from Siberia are extremely negative. It is very difficult for people who are accustomed to long winters and low temperatures to get used to the weather with a constant “+” sign. In July, the air often warms up to +40 °С.

Therefore, the settlers say that there is practically nothing to breathe in the concrete jungle. There is nowhere to hide from the hellish rays of the sun. During this period, the beaches of Krasnodar are overcrowded.

How to survive the hot season?

However, people who have recently moved to this locality are pleased thatthe fact that about 100 km from it are the Azov and Black Seas. Almost anyone who has their own car, as locals say, can leave the stuffy city for the weekend.

If some visitors are scared away by climatic conditions, others believe that the weather is quite normal. Many people say that although summers are very hot, other regions may experience higher temperatures. Even +35 ° C in the shade does not scare someone. Krasnodar has a lot of greenery and dense trees.

Reviews of those who have moved to permanent residence often refer to weather conditions. Often people get into arguments. But guests believe that in the hot season it is better to think carefully about your daily schedule. For example, children, the elderly and those who can hardly tolerate the heat, it is better to walk before 10 am and after 18 pm.

Disappointment of the year

You can also hide from the sun in shopping centers, cafeterias and shops where air conditioners are constantly on. The office is cool throughout the day. Those who stay at home can install their own unit.

However, as residents of the city say, it is impossible to hide from the heat in buses and fixed-route taxis. It is especially difficult for those people who are forced to get to the office by public transport.

Many, however, are attracted by the entertainment that Krasnodar offers. Feedback from those who have moved often relates to the water park. There, the inhabitants, tired of the heat, can relax and recharge with positive energy. However, in January 2015, information appeared in local publications thatthe water town was closed. Since then, no new entertainment complexes of this type have been opened.

The subtleties of moving

But in general, as the settlers say, there are many centers in Krasnodar where you can have fun and interesting time. There are more than 15 large shopping and entertainment establishments on the territory of the settlement. Both visitors from cities with a million inhabitants and people from small villages will find something to their liking there.

Centers are crowded with shops and cafeterias. Prices in neighboring establishments often differ. However, many visitors say that the cost of the same goods in the market and in the shopping center is not the same. So, often in spontaneous points you have to pay more.

Practically does not differ from other large administrative centers of Krasnodar. Feedback from those who have moved from Chita is usually positive. This is not surprising, because the former Yekaterinodar is much larger than the Transbaikal settlement. However, people who moved to the Kuban from Moscow or St. Petersburg are usually unhappy, because in the previous regions they could have been offered much more entertainment and opportunities.

Food for the soul

Nevertheless, this city will not let you get bored, its new residents are sure. Here you can play bowling, billiards and go ice skating. There are two large libraries where readers can find any book. You can also have fun and useful time in front of the professional stage. In general, more than 10 major theaters offer such services.

Various stars often come to Kuban with tours. Those who have settled in the city recently will be interested in visiting museums. Among them there is a house that introduces all those who are not indifferent to the life and work of Vladimir Vysotsky. The Hall of Contemporary Art also welcomes visitors.

Life in Krasnodar can become interesting. Feedback from those who have moved also often refers to numerous parks and squares. Settlers say they were struck by the cleanliness and culture of the green gardens. Under the branchy trees it is good to rest both in the summer heat and take a walk in the winter frost. Most residents note that the former Yekaterinodar is a very clean settlement.

Educational programs

A big minus for new residents is constant traffic jams. It is especially difficult to move around the city center. There are fewer cars only at night. However, the local population claims that such a problem is absolutely normal and is also typical for other large settlements. Almost all main streets suffer from a large flow of cars during rush hours. When heavy rains are predicted, city dwellers also prepare for "lakes" on low road sections.

Krasnodar has very high educational indicators. Feedback from those who moved from Chita and other cities is less positive, because there was no such choice of higher education institutions. In general, there are about 35 universities in the territory, which offer various conditions, professions and tuition fees.

Children can go to regular and specialized schools. There are gymnasiums, lyceums and private classes. Togetherthe number of such educational institutions exceeds 100.

Corruption issue

The government pays a lot of attention to sports. The pride of the city is the trampolining school. It brought up more than one generation of masters. The stadium "Kuban" receives a lot of positive feedback. About 35,000 spectators can fit there at once.

Often residents of other regions complain about Krasnodar. Reviews of those who moved from Siberia are particularly negative. People say that corruption and bribery are rampant in the area. You have to pay for places in kindergartens and schools. Almost all state institutions collect round "voluntary" donations. The number of charities to give money to is increasing every year.

Many claim that tap water is of terrible quality. It is almost impossible to drink it. The wells are also not clean. We have to spend money on buying drinking water.

Other details

The main cause of air pollution is transport. According to the latest estimates, there are about 300 cars per 1,000 people. In summer, the situation is further complicated by the fact that trucks pass through the city. Therefore, avoiding congestion on the main roads is almost impossible.

Local oil and fat plant does a lot of harm to the environment. Its fumes can be felt several kilometers from the plant. Due to the unpleasant smell, apartments in this area are rented and sold much cheaper than in other parts of the city. Unfortunately,about this fact, there are rarely reviews of those who moved to Krasnodar for permanent residence.

On hot summer days, not everyone has the time and opportunity to go to the sea. Ecologists allow fishing in the main river, the Kuban, but swimming here is prohibited due to the extremely polluted state of the water.

Resettlers note that it is very easy to find housing and work in this city. The average salary ranges from 31,000 rubles. Krasnodar gives a lot of opportunities and perspectives to new members of its community.
