Contrary to the prevailing stereotypes, a large family in our country is not uncommon. It is rather difficult to place three children, a dog and a full-wall aquarium in a small "Khrushchev" building with two adjacent rooms, which means that it is time to make a constructive decision. Buying a four-room apartment will not only solve many everyday problems, but also provide a comfortable and cozy environment for all family members. We bring to your attention the most important criteria to consider when choosing a 4-room apartment.

Layout

There are two main principles, following which you can make the best choice when buying an apartment.

At first glance, they may seem mutually exclusive.

  • Living rooms should be as isolated from each other as possible;
  • the common space of the apartment should be as free and comfortable as possible.

Today on the real estate market there are several basic options for layouts of apartments with four living rooms.

The most preferred are types of improved layout, in which (at least) 3 bedrooms are isolated from each other, and the connecting link is a spacious hall, from which you can access the rooms, kitchen and utility rooms (if any).

Rooms in modern apartments with an improved layout are primarily sleeping quarters, the size and location of which allow for the most comfortable living for all family members. Moreover, one of the rooms, as a rule, is larger than the others: most often it is either the parents' bedroom or the living room. In a four-room apartment, everyone has not just their own corner, but most often their own room, which can be arranged based on personal taste preferences.

The basis of any multi-room apartment is a large spacious hall, which provides free access to living rooms and the kitchen, and also allows you to conveniently and logically place the necessary furniture and household items.

In some cases, the hall can serve as a living room or even a living room, if we are talking about a really large family.

Do not forget about the toilet and bathroom. Apartments with an improved layout, as a rule, have 2 toilet rooms, one of which is combined with a bathroom. This is very convenient, especially in the morning when the whole family is going to work, school or kindergarten, isn't it?

Considering the above, the following conclusions can be drawn:

  • 4-room apartment - comfortable isolated bedrooms and a spacious hall with direct access to living rooms;
  • the kitchen does not have to be large, but the presence of 1-2 balconies or loggias will be a nice addition;
  • 2 washrooms are better than one.

New building or secondary market?

There is no definite answer to this question at the moment. On the one hand, apartments in modern residential buildings are often larger in area than those on the secondary market. On the other hand, any housing in which at least one owner has changed can become secondary, which means that you can purchase a four-room apartment suitable for you in a house that was built 2-3 years ago, since the owner of this housing decided, for example , go abroad for permanent residence.

At the same time, an apartment in a brick house built in Soviet times does not have to be small: 4 rooms with a large kitchen, separate bathroom and two large balconies are not at all uncommon in the secondary housing market.

You need to understand a simple thing: the layout of the apartment should completely suit the buyer, since we are talking about a serious acquisition for many years, if not for life.

Therefore, the year the house was built is not as important as its internal and external condition. If you are satisfied with the layout, the state of communications and the geographic location, then the age of the house should not be embarrassing.

Secondary housing also has such disadvantages as the general unsatisfactory condition of the apartment (lack of repair), or cosmetic repairs that partially or completely do not suit you as potential buyers. However, the secondary market is really large in volume: you can choose for yourself options for apartments in good condition, and their cost will be almost the same as that of new buildings.

Large apartments with improved planning can be found both in "Stalinist" houses and in modern residential complexes. The general state of communications and the presence of a developed infrastructure is not directly related to the type of residential building and its age. Conclusion: the choice of a new building or secondary housing is not fundamental.

Small kitchen: pros and cons

Very often, the area of ​​the kitchen is a key factor in deciding whether to buy a particular apartment. When it comes to small-sized layouts, where every square centimeter is expensive, the area of ​​the kitchen is of fundamental importance. However, the footage of a modern four-room apartment often makes it possible to neglect the size of the kitchen, leaving this room its main function: cooking, storing food and dishes.

In apartments with a large number of rooms, the kitchen is more a utility, utility room than a full-fledged living room in which the whole family gathers in the evenings.

A living room is perfect for parties or family gatherings in a four-room apartment. As a rule, this is the largest living room in terms of area.

For those who prefer large kitchen areas, there is good news: in modern multi-room apartments, the kitchen is often combined with the dining room, which allows you to eat comfortably in a large friendly company. In such dwellings, the dining room is at the same time a living room, and can also function as a playroom for children. The dining room can be separated from the kitchen itself by a translucent partition or a full-fledged door.

There are also options for four-room apartments, in which the kitchen is complemented by a spacious balcony or loggia. This is very convenient: in a large family, often one refrigerator is not enough, and more furniture in the kitchen is required than for 2-3 people.

Part of the load (and considerable) in such cases is taken over by the loggia, where the second refrigerator, mom's fitness machine, dad's tools and even children's toys can be successfully accommodated. Moreover, the presence of a loggia or balcony can partially, if not completely, eliminate the problem of a small kitchen.

We make a decision

A four-room apartment is an excellent choice for a large and friendly family who are ready to make financial investments for their own comfort and well-being. If you doubt which type of house is preferable - brick or panel, then in choosing the number of rooms in your future apartment you are definitely not mistaken, since a large area is a great opportunity.

If you cannot afford a four-room apartment with an improved layout, and you initially had a different plan, the secondary housing market is represented, among other things, by small-sized options with four living rooms.and the number of bedrooms for a large family is always a priority.

It remains only to weigh the pros and cons, cast aside doubts and decide to buy your new cozy family nest.

A four-room apartment is the optimal solution for those who are used to spacious and bright living spaces and who value personal space. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to have many children to live in a four-room apartment. One of the rooms can be easily equipped for a playroom or library. Often, a mini-gym or a combined living room is arranged in one of the rooms.

The choice is only yours and it is quite simple to make it. The modern housing market offers a huge number of options, among which you can find the best one. The main thing is to understand that a 4-room apartment is space and comfort, personal space and a home for a large family. This is an opportunity not only to live comfortably in such an area, but also to receive guests. And this is really the right choice.
