Other places available for parking in Moscow
If you use your car only on weekends and live in the very centre you can find a parking lot inside the fenced yard of the house you live in. Most likely the house where you are going to rent a flat is equipped by the lifting gates.
Recently Moscow authorities adopted the resolution making for lifting gates installation in each yard. Thus all the residents of the definite house will be provided with fixed parking stalls.
We should notify our clients that despite the impossibility of underground parking construction under historical pre-revolutionary mansions almost all the new business and premium class buildings are provided with parking stalls. Such buildings are usually equipped with guest parking on the fenced territory and with underground parking under the house.
If you reside a pre-revolutionary building pay your attention to the new houses located nearby. Probably there is one or another parking stall 'shelved' in a new houses located at hand or apply to your personal broker – he shall know if there is anything available in the neighborhoods.
