We were visiting beautiful Astana and lived with my wife in one of the towers of the complex, it seems on the 40th floor. The view from the window is simply incredible! We admired the sunsets every evening! On the ground floor of the complex there are a lot of shops with industrial goods and products, a dining room, a cafe, document printing services, etc., etc. Nearby is the chic Keruen shopping center, many restaurants for every taste and budget, a couple of blocks away is a restaurant of Russian cuisine "Hut" and Korean cuisine. Nearby is the Marquee shopping center, listed in the Guinness Book of Records, and the Bayterek Tower, and banks, and exchange offices, and beautiful boulevards... It is the center of the economic and tourist life of the city. I definitely recommend it!!! Astana, thank you for your hospitality!
Among the advantages is a great location in the city center, near bayterek, awesome views of the city, developed infrastructure, there are a lot of shops and salons on the 0 and 1 floors. Great for renters.
But it's not a good place to live. A constant influx of tenants, a huge number of people, an old house, the roof is leaking, and it's scary to walk in the basement
A good complex, downstairs 1-2 floor shops that are open until 02:00 hours conveniently. But the buildings themselves are tired. There are 5 elevators in each tower or 6, I don't remember exactly, but when called, 3-4 arrive, the rest do not react, so taking into account such a number of elevators, you still have to wait for the elevator. The upper floors are swaying in the strong wind. The heating in the house is hybrid, that is, electrically powered. Some of the apartments were insulated by putting 2 Windows inside the apartment
