A boat, a vessel, is a traditional symbol of municipal self-government, denoting a close-knit local community sailing independently on the “waves of life.” At the same time, the boat points to the ancient Ladoga waterway and recalls the centuries-old history of settlements in the territory that now belongs to the region. The rook is turned to the left of the viewer, which in armorial studies corresponds to forward movement.

The silver (white) color of the ring means a gray history, a glorious past. The golden (yellow) color of the boat is a symbol of vitality and energy.

Important selection points
The criteria for choosing a cottage will most likely be different for each future owner, but certain points need to be paid attention to:
Distance to city
Decide what distance from the city will be most acceptable, at what distance the new cottage community should be located. Typically, prices for cottages offered by sellers are lower if the distance to the city is further, but in an effort to save money, it is not advisable to forget that you will need to periodically travel to the city to resolve various issues, especially if the future owners of country property work in the city.
Infrastructure
Preference should be given to an option in which the main infrastructure facilities - shops, clinics, kindergartens or schools - were located in close proximity to the place of residence.
Transport
Availability of transport interchanges or public transport stops near the selected location. This point is often not taken into account. The car can break down, and if this happens, as usual, suddenly, a logical question inevitably arises - how to get to “civilization”.
Having selected several options that meet your needs in general, you need to familiarize yourself with the information about who is the seller of the cottage or townhouse. In the regional centers of megalopolises you can find many developers, but not every one of them can be reliable. Therefore, it is worth carefully approaching the issue of studying information about the seller of country real estate: how long has the developer been engaged in such activities, how many similar projects has he completed before? Even by familiarizing yourself with the appearance of the website of the real estate seller, you can get a clearer picture of him and accept the correct one. solution.
The next step should be to discuss the purchase issue and consult with the seller over the phone. you need to contact the sales department of the developer. In this case, you need to ask the sales specialist all your questions:
- existing infrastructure of the cottage village;
- applied construction technologies;
- presence of a management company;
- type of village security, access for unauthorized persons, security systems;
- about the terms of purchase, price, and other important points for the company’s future client.
There is no need to be shy, afraid to be overly persistent and scrupulous, afraid to make a bad impression - the buyer has every right to know everything about the house in which he will live.
If the telephone conversation left a pleasant impression, it is worth moving on to the next step - a personal inspection of the territory of the cottage village. Every development company is required to provide this type of service. In addition, the potential buyer will be accompanied by the company’s sales manager, who will try to show all the objects of interest to the client.
It is believed that the best time for such an excursion is the end of winter and the beginning of spring. At this time, you can see how well the stormwater and sewage systems function, whether the site chosen as one of the options is flooded, and how well the developer’s work is organized and the village itself is equipped. When conducting a tour, be sure to ask all the client’s questions again, and be sure to familiarize yourself with the infrastructure:
- pay attention to how electrical communications are made;
- how the heat supply to houses is organized (autonomous, centralized system);
- become familiar with the water supply system (centralized water supply, well)
- is there a centralized method for cleaning roads, areas adjacent to the house, storage and removal of waste;
- pay attention to the quality of roads and access roads to the cottage;
- Find out how gas is supplied.
The architectural structure of a village is extremely important for comfortable living in a village. All these questions need to be answered and visually verified that the information voiced by an employee of the development company corresponds to what was visually identified directly in the cottage community.
It is also important to inspect the house yourself, find out what materials were used during construction, what technology was used to insulate the house - the buyer has the right to receive the most complete information. This will allow you to make the right decision. When planning to purchase a country house, you will definitely need to use the services of a lawyer and order a legal examination regarding the papers provided by the developer for the cottage community in the Vsevolozhsky district, which is supposed to be purchased, and analyze the purchase and sale agreement proposed by him. The help of a professional lawyer will allow you to have confidence in the legality of the future transaction.
Natural resources
The natural resource potential of the region consists of a combination of forest, soil, water and subsoil resources. The main part of the forest park zone of St. Petersburg is located in the Vsevolozhsky district. Forests and tracts of trees and shrubs occupy about eighty-seven percent of the total area of the region. The forests of the Vsevolozhsk region belong to group I of forests, where industrial continuous timber harvesting is prohibited, since the region belongs to the environmental zone around the city of St. Petersburg. The protection and restoration of forests is carried out by park forestry enterprises located in the region.
Environmental problems have been successfully solved for several years. Thanks to Lake Ladoga, the area has one of the best water quality and purity. The population receives twenty percent of its water from natural wells.
Soil resources are quite poor: podzolic and sandy soils predominate; in the lowlands, mostly peat-podzolic-clayey and peat soils, which is a limitation in the development of crop production.
Sand, peat, and clay are mined in the region. No other mineral deposits were discovered.
There are a large number of small rivers and lakes in the area. Among them, Lembolovskoye and Heppo-Yarvi stand out, among the rivers are Avloga (length 54 km), Okhta (90 km). Large water arteries include the Neva River, with which the region borders on the south, and Lake Ladoga, whose waters wash the region on the east.
Attractions
Vsevolozhsk district is one of the most promising subregions of the Leningrad region. Its uniqueness is due to many factors. The favorable geographical location near the Neva, which was one of the links of the great waterway “from the Varangians to the Greeks,” the bridge between East and West, contributed to the prosperity of this land.
Evidence of a glorious past are numerous ancient monuments. The area occupies one of the leading places in the region in terms of their number and historical significance.
In total, on the territory of the Vsevolozhsk region there are more than 150 monuments of history, architecture and art and 57 mass graves.
Great personalities left their mark on Vsevolozhsk land: Peter the Great, Alexander Pushkin, Alexander Griboedov, Ivan Pavlov, Alexei Tolstoy.
The center of the cultural life of the capital of Russia was the estates “Priyutino”, “Koltushi”, manors “Ryabovo”, “Vartemyagi”. There are several museums and many protected memorial sites in the area.
Residents of the Vsevolozhsk region made a significant contribution to the defense of Leningrad from the Nazi invaders. The legendary “Road of Life”, a thread that connected Leningrad with the whole country, passed through the area, which was the only one in the region that was not captured by the enemy. It is no coincidence that the center of the Vsevolozhsk emblem depicts the “Broken Ring” monument, installed on the shore of Lake Ladoga.
Many picturesque landscapes and recreational areas with a healing natural climate have become attractive to tens of thousands of city residents - summer residents, gardeners, market gardeners, and simply vacationers. In summer, the population of the area doubles.
Transport
The region has a well-developed transport network; two federal roads pass through the region: St. Petersburg - Murmansk and the Scandinavia highway, as well as a significant number of roads of regional and local significance.
Railway transport
Passenger railway traffic in the Vsevolozhsk region is served by electric trains departing from the Finlyandsky station of St. Petersburg. There are four main railway lines - Priozerskaya (St. Petersburg - Sosnovo - Priozersk - Khiitola), Ladozhskaya (St. Petersburg - Lake Ladoga), Nevskaya (Melnichny Ruchey - Petrokrepost - Nevskaya Dubrovka) and Pavlovskaya (Rzhevka - Pavlovo-on-Neva - Gory ). The Ladoga, Nevskaya and Pavlovskaya lines are combined into the Irinovskoe direction.
Types of cottage villages
There are few criteria by which modern cottage towns are classified. The most popular options are:
- Elite . This is the most expensive type of real estate, but highly popular. Such villages are built in elite areas where the infrastructure is fully developed - there are schools, medical centers, supermarkets.
- Business Class . The infrastructure here is less developed than in elite villages, but the environment remains at the highest level.
- Economy class . The villages are located far from the city, and all the properties here often have the same style. Despite the relative cheapness, economy-class villages have all the necessary communications - gas, electricity, water, sewerage.
When buying a country house, you need to know that such an operation as the sale of cottages does not like haste and a superficial approach. The right choice can be made only when multiple offers have been studied, visiting more than one cottage village. You need to try to carefully study all the nuances.
Every resident of the Vsevolozhsk region sometimes thinks about escaping from the bustle of the city to their own cozy country house. A clean, eco-friendly environment, fresh air, tranquility and harmony with nature create a special atmosphere around country housing, filled with romance and tranquility. This is why purchasing a home is often a quick and emotional process. Such an emotional approach may be completely wrong, since the purchase of any type of real estate is a serious and responsible step, for the successful implementation of which it is important to take into account many different factors. If you approach this issue correctly, the purchased cottage will become a source of joy for its owner, and not constant problems.
