"Yakutsk's Migrants Favor 'Star' Accommodation"

In the heart of Yakutsk, the Star microdistrict is making waves as a beacon of urban redevelopment and resettlement. Developed by the Republican Mortgage Agency, this ambitious project aims to replace outdated housing and infrastructure, offering a fresh start for residents.

Initially, some residents were hesitant about moving to Star due to the construction site. However, the development of schools, kindergartens, and infrastructure has encouraged more people to embrace this change. Currently, a school for 990 students and a kindergarten for 315 children are under construction, with scheduled completion for 2025. A clinic building is also in the works.

The Star microdistrict consists of three sectors, with seven houses already commissioned in sectors A and B. Construction in sector C is ongoing, and three houses are being built. The federal resettlement program will relocate residents from Arctic regions and specific districts of Yakutsk to Star.

The largest apartments in Star measure over 85 square meters, and the average cost per square meter is 145,000 rubles. These apartments are provided both through commercial contracts and the resettlement program. The General Director of the Republican Mortgage Agency in Yakutsk, Liya Shainurova, has noted a positive trend in the number of residents agreeing to move to Star for resettlement.

Despite a few complaints about minor defects in balconies and doors, the overall response to Star has been positive. Residents of dilapidated and damaged houses in Yakutsk are choosing Star for its eco-friendly approach, as it boasts no high-rises and offers fresh air.

For the latest details on the progress of housing construction, improvements in infrastructure, and the expected completion timeline of the Star microdistrict resettlement in Yakutsk, it is recommended to consult official Yakutsk city administration releases, local news sources, or specialized urban development project reports.

Star, with its promise of modern living and a breath of fresh air, is quickly becoming a desirable choice for Yakutsk residents seeking a better future.
