The widest selection of family apartments. Soviet-era panel buildings: $65,000–$95,000. New builds: $110,000–$160,000. Good infrastructure for large families.

Sverdlovsky district

Close to the center, slightly cheaper: $75,000–$120,000. Many Brezhnev-era and Stalin-era buildings with high ceilings — for four-room apartments, Soviet brick is often valued higher than panel.

Four-Room Apartment Layouts

Soviet-era stock

In Soviet buildings, four-room apartments come in:

Brezhnev-era: 85–100 m², isolated rooms, decent 10–12 m² kitchens, separate bathroom. The best layout of the Soviet era.
Stalin-era: 90–120 m², high ceilings (3.0–3.5 m), large rooms, parquet floors. Rare, but available.
Panel 9-storey: 80–90 m², slightly smaller rooms, 8–10 m² kitchens. The most common option.

Modern new builds

100–140 m², open-plan kitchen-living rooms (20–30 m²), three bedrooms + study or 4 bedrooms. Master bedroom with en-suite — standard for comfort class. Walk-in wardrobes, panoramic windows, terraces.

Who Needs a Four-Room Apartment

Family with three or more children — a typical request. Each child gets their own room.

Family + elderly parents — three generations under one roof require maximum isolated rooms.

Remote work + family — a separate study is critically important when working from home with children.

Investment — four-room apartments appear less often on the rental market but demand from families with children is steady: $500–$800/month.

Is It Worth Buying a Soviet Four-Room Apartment?

Brezhnev-era and Stalin-era apartments with 4 rooms offer a good quality-to-price ratio. Advantages:

Isolated rooms with normal proportions (12–18 m² each)
High ceilings (2.7–3.5 m) — a sense of spaciousness
Brick walls — warm and sound-insulating
Usually in established districts with developed infrastructure

Check the condition: bathrooms, pipes, electrical wiring — in apartments 40–50 years old these require updating.

Mortgage for a Four-Room Apartment

At a cost of $90,000–$130,000, the mortgage payment will be substantial:

Example: $100,000 apartment, 30% down payment ($30,000), loan $70,000, rate 19%, 20 years — monthly payment approximately $1,100–$1,200 (97,000–105,000 som).

For such a loan, the family's combined income should be around $2,500–$3,000/month.
