      The outside looks like lower income houses you would see here in this part of Canada (Habitat for Humanity builds similar looking houses) or in inner city areas in NJ or NY.

Our was to get an education, get married, buy a house and have children. We don’t tend to stay in the apartments as I’m sure you’re aware for your time in the USA unless you’re somewhere like NYC.

    This is certainly not the “middle class” in Russia. Regular Russians (even those with decent salaries) live in large Soviet or post-Soviet apartment buildings in 2-3 room apartments. Living in a private house is still very uncommon in Russia. Living in a gated community automatically places one in the upper echelons of society, and while this particular community does not represent Russia’s economic and business “elite”, these are, nevertheless, well-to-do people. Also, this particular neighborhood has a unique design that is meant to appear like a North American suburb. The architecture, the facades, the lack of high fences - all is very unusual for Russia. Most private house residential neighborhoods in Russia look very different - high fences and large brick houses, whose architecture is very different from the styles, commonly seen in North America.

      I'm getting the impression that Middle and Upper class in Russia is not the same as in the US? Most Middle and Upper class in the US would live in detached housing with a yard or lawn if they lived in the suburbs. This reminds me more of European housing. Or apartments in the US. Maybe in or near the inner cities the lower to middle class would live in this type of housing, but not typically in the suburbs. And the houses would be a bit larger. It would be interesting to share a video of the Upper Middle class gated communities in my area. The houses are typically 2,000 square feet or more. But we are a far cry from any large city. Here's an example of an Upper Middle Class community near the largest city in my area. If you search "Bridgefield Estates" in this city, you can see more examples. www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/36-Bridgefield-Turn_Hattiesburg_MS_39402_M80038-03228

      @@robineggbluebu4371 ​cities are heavily urbanized. Both due to near-infinity land prices and a strict land usage regulation within a city borders. If you want to have a modern private house and some space around it is either suburbs or a rural settlement. Rural settlements usually mean lower wages within a reasonable daily road trip time. Suburban land is pricey. As for definition of the middle class in Russia there is no consensus on it. Some would say it doesn't even exist. Hope it shines some light.

    Very interesting. I love to see how average people live in other parts of the world. I am in San Francisco, CA in the US. From the outside the neighborhood looks very much like suburban neighborhoods in the US. Inside there are similarities and some real differences. The cabinets in the kitchen, sparse decorating, and the small kitchen sink are different than here. Spacious suburban home, plants, big TV, small yard with BBQ seems very similar. As far as the neighborhood and houses I could easily acclimate to living there. Culture - stores, customs, food, ways of interacting, language - would probably take longer!

    Such a great idea to show an actual housing suburb where you bought your parents this townhouse. I spent 6 years in and out of Russia teaching healthcare professionals in six cities. Only one MD lived in a house and her husband worked for BP oil. She got a new kitchen when I stayed there because no American had ever visited this town. Her home was like a log cabin. All the other mods lived in unregulated soviet style apartments. I think there would be a lot of interest in seeing hospitals and schools where I taught. I miss my tremendous friends and being with them. Please do many more of these videos.
