Yaroslavl

A historic city with opportunities for everyday life

Yaroslavl was founded by Yaroslav the Wise in 1010. Its history is linked to the settlement of Medvezhy Ugol, and its historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today it is one of the principal cities of the Golden Ring.

Understanding the districts

Six administrative districts: central Kirovsky and Leninsky, plus Dzerzhinsky, Zavolzhsky, Krasnoperekopsky and Frunzensky. Dzerzhinsky is the most populous, Zavolzhsky the largest by area and Leninsky the smallest.

Yaroslavl-Glavny, in Kirovsky District, is the main railway station. Moskovsky station is in Krasnoperekopsky District and the river terminal is in the centre. Several districts also have railway stops, including Molot and Filino.

The Volga, embankment and Strelka

Strelka is the headland where the Kotorosl meets the Volga and one of the city's main walking areas. The three-level embankment connects a panoramic upper boulevard, descents to the river terminal and a lower waterside promenade.

Walking streets, museums, churches, avenues, mansions and monuments are nearby. We consider access to these routes and how you want to spend your time in the city.

Development partners and rental properties

We work with developers who have long-standing partnerships with the agency. We understand their projects, layouts and completion schedules, and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each option.

In the agency's experience, good-quality rental homes are in demand across Yaroslavl. We assess demand and returns individually, accounting for condition, price, competition and potential vacancies.
