To live beautifully in the Russian capital, you will have to pay more than one million, or even a billion rubles.

Its experts have calculated that the total cost of the top 100 most luxurious apartments in the capital increased by 10% over the year, to 58.2 billion rubles.
Most of the proposals are occupied by apartments of up to 250 square meters, and there are proposals and over 1000 "squares". Most of the apartments from the first hundred are offered in the Patriarch's Ponds area (28%), Ostozhenka (23%) and in the Tverskoy area (15%).

8. Noble Row
Price: 1, 6 billion rubles
Square: 550 sq. m
Noble Row is one of the most beautiful projects created in Moscow in the 21st century. And it is not surprising, because the eminent design company Ralph Lauren Home worked on the design of the residential complex of six residences.
The walls of the building are decorated with carved décor, and the facades are decorated in an eclectic Bozar style, which followed the traditions of the Italian Renaissance and French Baroque.
Each residence is an Ultra-luxury townhouse with its own entrance, garage and exit to the park. And on the last level of the buildings there is a terrace with an excellent view of the Kremlin, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the Conception Monastery.

The complex should be ready in 2021 and will be managed by Fairmont Hotels, which specializes in the premium segment of club residential real estate.

The fabulously expensive six-storey residential complex, developed by APDevelopment, consists of 10 apartments.
On the top floor, there is a private landing penthouse with a separate entrance, two terraces and an entrance to its own parking lot, where three cars can be accommodated at once.
5. "Tower" Federation. East"
Price: 2, 2 billion rubles
Square: 2181 sq. m
In the highest tower "Moscow City" there is a unique penthouse that will lift the owner to an unattainable height, in the literal sense of the word.
"Federation Tower" - the tallest building in Russia - represents two skyscrapers, designed in the same compositional style. The first of them is called "West" and is 242.4 meters long. And her older sister Vostok has grown to 373.7 meters. So the view from the penthouse must be amazing.
4. Granatny lane, 8, building 4
Price: 2, 3 billion rubles
Square: 952 sq. m
A small (by the number of residents, not area) elite house "Granite Palace" is located in a cozy side street of the Presnensky district of the capital. There are only 17 apartments in it, from which you can see the park or the courtyard of the old mansion of Boyaryn Morozova.
On the first floor of the house there are men's entertainment - a cigar club and a billiard room, and on the second floor there is a women's salon, library and children's playroom. Residents who prefer more active entertainment can go down to the basement and work out in the fitness club, pool, and then visit the hammam or massage room.
The main feature of Pomegranate Palace is two duplexes with beautifully furnished patios.
3. Malaya Bronnaya, 15
Price: 2.4 billion rubles
Square: 498 sq. m
The sophisticated interiors of this house are complemented by huge panoramic windows and real wood fireplaces. The developer is the LidEstate company, owned by Andrey Matalyga.
To build a luxurious apartment complex, the developer, with the permission of the Moscow authorities, demolished the historical estate of Anna Neklyudova, despite the protests of Muscovites who considered it a crime against the history of the city.
2. Molochny lane, house 7
Price: 2, 6 billion rubles
Square: 1000 sq. m
The house in which one of the most expensive apartments in Russia is being sold is located in the elite district of Ostozhenka. Housing there costs as much as many Russians cannot earn in a lifetime, so the section between Ostozhenka and Prechistenskaya embankment is unofficially called the Golden Mile.
There are not so many rooms in a huge and super-expensive apartment - there are only 6 of them, plus three bedrooms and three bathrooms. And in the house where she is located there are only six apartments.
1. Penthouse in the multifunctional complex "Tsarev Sad"
Price: 4.8 billion rubles
Square: 1683 sq. m
The luxurious complex on Sofiyskaya Embankment includes 68 ultra-premium class apartments. And 44 of them offer an excellent view of the Kremlin, Vasilyevsky Spusk, St. Basil's Cathedral and Zaryadye Park.
It is surprising that the status of the location did not help Tsarev Sad to find its tenants the first time. The project changed owners several times and is unfinished for a long time. Finally, Sberbank, which acted as a lender to developers, got tired of this and resolutely took matters into its own hands.
For those living in the Tsarevoy Sad, an underground parking lot for 246 cars has been created, a well-thought-out infrastructure has been created, including offices, restaurants, shops, a fitness center and a spa.
The common areas were designed by the famous French architect Pierre-Yves Rochon. And, of course, the territory of the complex is closed and well guarded.
By the way, in addition to the most expensive apartment in Moscow, there are several more apartments on the territory of the complex worth about 4 billion rubles.

Elite housing is located on Mosfilmovskaya Street, in the residential complex "Vorobyovy Gory". The penthouse is 290 sq. m.renovated in a club style, so it is suitable both for a quiet residence of a millionaire and for noisy parties of "golden youth".
