“Housing problem” in Biryulyovo

Now I want to move almost smoothly to the problem of housing in my current area. Those who want to move to Moscow to work should think in advance about where they will live. This issue is especially acute for us now. Almost every post has an advertisement asking for an apartment or at least a room to rent. We have a lot of “Southern people” here. The most nimble ones have already been around a long time ago. At the end of the last century, they bought apartments from lonely old women, and they somehow suspiciously quickly disappeared into another world. Having become full-fledged residents of the area, the southern comrades opened cafes and small retail outlets and are thriving. Moreover, they brought relatives and wives here and are multiplying with catastrophic force. In the mornings, especially on weekends in the summer, their women love to talk in their native language, trying to shout from the street to their friend from the sixth floor, and this wakes us up.

Those who are now lucky enough to rent an apartment in Biryulyovo will have to pay an average of 25 thousand rubles. Rented rooms cost about 12-15. Sometimes you can see that they offer a bed; such pleasure costs about 5-6 thousand Russian rubles. A good option is to come here to earn money together, two or three of you, and rent a room. It is better to live with people you know than with those you are seeing for the first time.

A good option for men is working as a security guard. The average salary in this area is 22-35 thousand rubles. You can save on housing if you work on a “shift” basis. I have friends who work exactly like this. One is guarding the shopping center. True, there is not much time for sleep - about 5 hours. But there is time and a place where you can cook dinner and take a shower. They work for 15 days and go home to rest for the same amount of time.

History of Biryulyovo Western: from past to present

The history of the Western Biryulyovo district began in 1960, after Moscow grew significantly due to the annexation of surrounding rural settlements, including the village of Biryulyovo. Ten years later, the village was completely destroyed, and multi-storey residential buildings began to be actively built on its territory. Over time, the village was divided into two independent administrative units: Western and Eastern Biryulyovo.

The first settlements on the territory of Western Biryulyovo appeared in ancient times. However, historians have not been able to establish exact dates. According to official documents, the history of this area began in the 17th century. It was then that the first information about the village of Birilevo, which belonged to the aristocratic Pleshcheev family, appeared in the archival chronicles. At first the village was small, but over time its population began to grow rapidly.

The active development of the village began in the 19th century. By that time, Birilevo already bordered the territory of Moscow, and therefore the village experienced an influx of new residents who sought to settle closer to the Russian capital.

Where is the best place to work in Biryulyovo

Residents of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus are most willing to hire. But be sure to have registration and a work permit. There are several enterprises in Biryulyovo, in the so-called Industrial Zone, where you can make good money and not spend a lot of time on the road. Bus 770 will take you there in just 10-15 minutes. I suggest you try your hand at the Cracker Factory. Packers, cleaners and workers of other specialties are always needed here. The salary is not bad, plus there is the opportunity to buy products at a reduced price. If 20-25 thousand a month suits you, then you’re welcome.

You can also work in a factory that produces shampoos and hygiene products. Those who do not have allergies will be able to work here. At the thermal power plant, you can also give free rein to your work impulse.

Previously, there were jobs at the Biryulyovskaya vegetable base, but due to high-profile events, after the murder of a Russian guy by Zeynalov, it was closed. And the base “fed” many. In the underground passage to the trains, near the shops, one could see grannies and people without a fixed abode who were selling substandard goods honestly taken from the base. After all, for example, slightly moldy cucumbers can be wiped with a dry cloth and sold inexpensively. Not to mention tangerines, melons and other vegetable delicacies.

So, the base was closed, and these places of work no longer counted. But who knows, maybe someday it will open. Due to the onset of the slushy period, some stores began to require cleaners. Those who are confident in their abilities can also work in this field. Salary 15-17 thousand rubles. If you want a cleaner job, you can get a job as a salesperson in stores, Trading, with a schedule to choose from.

Sausage factories are a desirable place not only for visitors, but also for residents of Biryulyovo. There are always jobs here too. The factories hire not only people of “Slavic” appearance, but also residents of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. By the way, as the latter themselves say, they save our money, turn it into dollars and send it home. There, with these funds they not only feed their family, but also buy cars and build houses. At the Sausage factories, only workers are needed for now. If a person can drum for 12 hours in rubber boots, an apron, oversleeves, and wash boilers and equipment all this time, then too - welcome. I communicated with Uzbek girls, since I myself worked at this enterprise. They say the work is hard, but they don't leave. Many people still have children at home, and women send them a lot of money. At the factories, twice a month they give you a “packed ration” consisting of delicious sausage, frankfurters and ham. Another big plus is the free breakfast. During them, you can gobble up 2-3 types of sausage with bread and tea in any quantity. They used to give free butter and milk, but this is no longer the case.

A sumptuous three-course meat lunch with a drink costs only 35 rubles. At dinner, workers eat cutlets and a side dish left over from lunch for free. So, if you feel considerable strength, you can work at a meat factory, as it is profitable.

Medicine and more

Healthcare in the area is also good. Five years ago, another (second) adult clinic was built. When I went there for the first time, I thought that I was in a modern office building in the center of Moscow. The round glass walls, spaciousness and interior decor are impressive. And there are not many people in the medical facility now. There is no longer any need to wait in huge queues, since 2 adult clinics in Biryulyovo West manage to serve everyone. Nothing new has been built for the children yet, but they have introduced a wonderful innovation. Using a terminal or by phone, you can make an appointment with any specialist at the right time and arrive at that exact hour.

There are also plenty of schools in the area. It is better to register for kindergartens in advance, about six months in advance, then your child is guaranteed a place. There are places to take the kids for a walk, for example, near the pond where ducks live in summer and autumn.

If a family has sufficient funds, it can buy an apartment. Periodically there are advertisements for the sale of residential space in the area. A 1-room apartment on the secondary housing market costs about 3 million; 2-room apartment - 4.5; A 3-room mansion will cost approximately 6 million rubles.

Before you come to Biryulyovo Zapadnoye, you need to decide on housing: ask your friends, look for options on the Internet, or contact a reliable real estate agency. Now luxury high-rise buildings have been built in Biryulyovo Vostochny. If you have sufficient funds, you can live in this palace and look down on most of Moscow and the Moscow region.

Interesting places in Western Biryulyovo

Considering the fact that Western Biryulyovo was actively built up already in the period from 1970, there are practically no special attractions associated with the history of this place that have been preserved. Among the most interesting and significant places in the area are:

• Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. This wooden temple was built in 1924 on the site of a previously destroyed church. It is noteworthy that the construction of the temple fell on a period when religion was oppressed in every possible way by the Soviet leadership. Taking this fact into account, we can say that the wooden church in Biryulyovo is considered a real architectural monument of Soviet temple construction;
• house number 1 on Medynskaya street. This residential building is famous for its design, which was created by artist Dmitry Bochkarev, who lives here. Each floor of the building is decorated in its own individual style. For example, the first floor is dedicated to the Middle Ages, but the second floor immerses the viewer in cosmic motifs;
• School square. This is one of the most popular vacation spots in Western Biryulyovo. The park area has excellent infrastructure. In particular, the sidewalks are equipped with modern gravel surfaces and lighting fixtures. The park has several playgrounds and benches for relaxation.
