Pechersk IS the center. I know that foreigners prefer to settle in the center, but if you have a limited budget, you really should consider something more distant, but it will be so so much better. Once you see some apartments for the same price, but much larger, in the new buildings, nice corridors, and elevators, no smell, etc. you won’t come back to Pechersk
Hi there! Have you checked apartment on the left side of Kyiv? next to Kharkivska, Poznyaky, Vurlyca metro station, it is close to the airport, there are a lot of new living complexes, good rent price, and it is very popular there for a daily rent there.
The real main negatives with vloggers is not the video quality but the sound , when interviewing the subjects the sound is sometimes so faint.. it’s 2021 you need to lift your game.
Johnny, you should also be looking to buy a "dacha" out in the woods or suburbs of Kiev. There are many small cottages on small plots of land which were given to Ukrainian citizens during Soviet times. They are about one-half hour away by car. Also accessible by bus or trolley bus. A plot with cottage will cost anywhere from $ 50,000 to $ 100,000. Many people buy these relatively rundown places and build huge houses on these plots of land. These dachas provide a welcome country respite from bustling city life.
@Сергей Serge No one is talking about a loan. What are you talking about? These dachas were given to workers at large Ukrainian factories during Soviet times. The workers paid NOTHING for these plots of land and built their own small cottages. I did not mention loans at all. That has zero relevance. Ukrainians who received these plots of land for free are now old and dying off. They are selling their plots of land and cottages. What are you talking about? Total nonsense.
@williamtaylor8782 Those "dacha" is not for free as you maybe expected because in "ussr prison" workers salary is almost nothing and you work like for food and your "free apartment or dacha's need approximately 10-30 years in best scenario (but some don't get anything after whole life)". In normal country's you have salary for buy it.
Don’t buy hruschevka!!!! All of them will be destroyed soon by builders to build a new buildings, especially in that area. Also that balcony can be too old to stay on it and they pretend that door can’t open
This is actually one of the central districts of Kiev, so it's a bit strange when you compare it to the "center", because for me this district has always been "the center" 😂
Interrogated is a great word :) Another awkward interview :) For Bald it’s so easy to speak with locals. Maybe because he does not choose young women but old babushkas that actually have something to say.
Pechersk is where lots of politicians used to live and still live. Lots of history (Lavra) and park Slava so I think that's why people love it. I grew up right across park Slava and it was the best childhood I could imagine
I lived in the building behind the 1st girl in the early 90s: there is a small round square with benches and an old fountain in the center, its a good place to sit down for a bite there.
The room is bigger, its just the giant wardrobe that takes up about the width of a door to the left. Probably would partion some what better if the kitchen/lounge open plan. You said it was too much storage, get a bed in there with storage built around it.
Last year we bought an apartment in the new Standard One complex right on the metro station Vystavkovyi Tsentr for a great price with a wonderful view and nice layout. Have you considered slightly outside of the centre? We have a huge forest across the road and only 15 minutes on the metro from Center. Worth a look at other areas just for the outdoor areas and best bang for your dollar and newer buildings.
This type of house is looks like Khrushchevka. Therefore, it is usually located in a very quiet area. But. It have VERY. I mean VERY tiny walls and most importantly construction of the carcass of building very well propagates sound waves of high type of sound, close to vibration. So you hear what you dont wanna hear: fridge vibration, swearing neighbors, crying small children and loud music. Depending on how you prefer.)) And it is also little bit cold in the kitchen at winter when you ve got -10 -15 C outside. Otherwise - it is great!
You came to Kiev 6 years laters. Price was 50-60% less than nowadays. As you can see at night 80% of this new apartments are empty even if they were sold. I know that real-estate market in Kiev said that the offer is not full-filing the demand but then when you look with your own eyes it just have not sense.

I see a bottomless money pit of an apartment with no ROI. Plus you cant just go do what you want without permits and you will need bldg. management permission as well. There are absolutely no amenities there, zero. you would need to install a Murphy bed system and I would knock down the kitchen wall and remove the door into the living room if allowable (hopefully not be load bearing - good luck getting the plans to that bldg.) kitchen and bath need full renovation as well as flooring, paint and lighting, etc..

Johnny you should hold your horses on buying appartments for a few months, housing market in Europe right now is at an all time high. And there will be a big crash coming in a few months, possibly also a new financial crisis. If your smart wait with the house investments until a few months into 2022 and you’ll be able to get much more for your money as price is garuanteed to start falling very soon.
Johnny, I don't recommend buying a khruschovka in Kyiv. The government wants to demolish 30.000 of them, and the ones in the center of Kyiv are definitely on the list, since the land they stand on is too expensive, and it's more efficient to build a couple of high rise residential buildings instead.

Thanks for the correction. :) NC
@@dannyenglish7828 Both the Russian and Ukrainian languages are from the Indo-European language family, Dialect is a particular form of a language which is peculiar to a specific region or social group and why I mentioned it. To myself (personally) it sounds the same that's never heard it spoken before. Just my views on the subject. Learn something new everyday, thanks. :) NC
Johnny, take out the sliding mirrors on the closet and put a Murphy bed. That and a pull out couch would allow you to maximize daytime living and provide hidden, quick, sleeping accommodations!
Doing an interview next to a busy road without lapel mic was not the best idea. Barely audible.
Another great video. Love this area.
Do you have the name of the lawyer you use in Kiev please?

My comment - thank you for recognizing a value, however, learning about all the additional hidden fees.
Let’s chat.

No one likes a studio apartment, bad investment idea... If it's not Manhattan, Tokyo, or Parris forget about it.
Johny man, we cannot hear the lady you are i interviewing, please use a mic
Neighborhood look nice to live, close to downtown. I wish they solve parking issue. Cars parking off road drive me nuts
Not a bad neighborhood. It looks like those steps you walked up might’ve been old railroad tracks.

Johnny needs his own monopoly version :D. Cheers mate
Johnny keeps the content flowing.. Nice seeing the different neighborhoods of Ukraine 👍.
Johnny please continue the consistency but maybe get a mic because it gets loud in the background
Thats a mega high quality camera
i saw a couple of real estate agent videos on the internet before, but they had a different ending

@@JohnnyFD thanks i am in Kyiv now but need to leave tuesday. Is there a way to contact you next time i am around ?
@@JohnnyFD thanks most lawyers here tried to scammed me with unreasonable prices like 1000 Usd to get my tax number (done for free with my gf and a simple formular).
