What area of ​​St. Petersburg has the most IT companies (preferably with Java development)?

Question

Career in IT

We choose an area for living in St. Petersburg, so that there are schools, kindergartens and many IT companies with development in Java.
While looking at the islands. Near the center, many schools and kindergartens, but as I understand it, many large IT companies are located in the Sverdlovsk embankment area, between the metro, with getting to it by transport = /
What would you advise the residents of the cultural capital?

Answer 1

I would single out several "clusters" in the city:
1. North-West - Begovaya / St. Village / Pionerskaya / Black River
2. East - Lenin Square / Novocherkasskaya / Ladodzhskaya
3. South - Tekhnolozhka / Frunzenskaya / Moscow Gate / Electrosila + a small part of Moscow > Pulkovskoe sh.
4. Vasilyevsky Island - here are the "lines", and Primorskaya
5. Center and Petrogradka.
Regarding housing - if you are moving from another city, the main mistake would be to buy real estate right away. I don’t know, maybe for you the amount of 5-7 million doesn’t seem like something outstanding, but in my opinion you need to spend it wisely.
I saw a desire to live in Petrogradka, and, of course, I am unlikely to convince someone who already lives there, this is a certain sect that will foam at the mouth to prove that this is the best place on Earth. But there are certain problems:
1. Lack of large stores, ie. You will buy groceries either in walking shops available with an extremely modest choice, or you will travel to other areas.
2. Lack of greenery: your best friends will be well yards, asphalt and dust. For some, this is romance, but it will pass quickly, as it will get tired of walking exclusively in the park on Krestovsky.
3. Transport collapse: firstly, you are limited by bridges on all sides, if your area is also under blockade. A football match, the arrival of some official, something else can block all your escape routes. Well, yes, and at the time of navigation, you need to carefully monitor the time so as not to accidentally miss the bridges and then you have to go around half the city to get home.
4. As in any other central area, be prepared for the fact that it will most likely be difficult to park a car, and in the next couple of years paid parking may also come to you, it will be difficult to get into a kindergarten / school, because There are many who want to, but new objects are no longer opened, there are new buildings, but this does not guarantee the absence of problems with communications, because. firstly, the communications to the house are old, and secondly, the quality of the current construction raises many questions.
In principle, all this is just as easily shifted to Vasilyevsky Island, the situation is similar.
If we consider the center, then Kolomna will be the most favorable place - it is quiet, calm, it is not yet considered an "elite", which affects the price tag, there are certain problems with public transport (there is no metro), but it is relatively free by car and it is not transit, which is good for the air.
"Golden Triangle" - expensive and not comfortable, a lot of people, round-the-clock traffic jams, and hostels / mini-hotels in every second front door.
Quite a good plot behind the Fontanka, in the Zagorodny area. With the exception of greenery and the lack of large stores, I can’t name particularly strong problems.
The Chernyshevskaya area is not bad, but the "elite" and the prices in it are greatly inflated, a very strong social abyss, in one front door there can be bedbugs-communal apartments with drunks and the "apartment" of some gentleman on a Rolls-Royce. Because of this, regular conflicts are guaranteed. Well, Chernyshevskaya metro station during rush hours is a living hell.
Ligovsky and Peski - ambiguous, too much "St. Petersburg" spirit in the form of communal apartments and drunks.
Moskovsky district is ideal :) Lots of greenery, real estate within reasonable limits, there are traffic jams, but there are many detours. The infrastructure is all right.
Naturally, this is only my opinion and someone may not agree with it.
In my opinion, ideal housing is obtained when:
1. The house is not big
2.
3. Nearby there is all the necessary infrastructure
4. Entrances / exits and areas are not limited to 3-4 ways, of which part are bridges and railway crossings
5. There is greenery

Answer 2

And what's the difference you can't work in all, the easiest option is rented housing near work

Answer 3

When I went to social services, then according to my personal statistics it turned out:
Most of all offices are located in the north of the city. But not in the far north (Parnassus, Enlightenment, Ozerki), but in that part of it that is closer to the center (Gorkovskaya, Petrogradskaya, Chernaya Rechka, Lesnaya, Lenin Square, Vyborgskaya)
And so ...
There are business centers on Vaska, on Nevsky and its environs sometimes. But the south, according to my feelings, is rather poorly mastered in this regard. Although there are exceptions here too: quite a few acquaintances work on Zastavskaya (Moscow Gates)

Answer 4

To begin with, I would advise one person who will work (well, or together, if a miracle happened that the husband and wife are both programmers), rent an apartment for a month or two, go to interviews and see the city. The demand for programmers in St. Petersburg is huge, incl. you have to be very lazy not to find a job in a month. You can also search remotely, but if you are already in place, then the process will simply go faster.
Companies are everywhere, the question is where will be the one that suits you. But that cannot be said until you have found it.
If you rent an apartment, which is probably better to do in any case for the first year, even if you are going to buy later (it’s trite to look at the city and decide for yourself what you want, talk to people at work again). I recommend options that are 15-20 minutes by metro (well, or on foot). In all other cases, you will be stuck in traffic jams, or start and finish work at non-standard times (which, in principle, is not a problem). Those people who live in St. Petersburg and spend one and a half to two hours a day on the road to work, I never understood.
My opinion about the regions. The Primorsky district is good (in general, but there are sad places there), the Petrogradsky district and the area near the Chernyshevskaya metro station. There are other good areas, but these are my favorite. In no case do not buy or rent an apartment in some ghetto districts of St. Petersburg, such as Devyatkino. You can read about them at Varlamov. I lived in St. Petersburg, visited these areas, and I confirm that he writes the truth.

Answer 5

Hello, I'll put it simply:
Take the blue metro line: Parnas-Kupchino (naturally, not on the terminal ones).
Apart from a couple of companies that are located on Vaska and closer to the historical center, everything is relatively close.
Ps I at one time, when I was thinking of rebuilding in St. Petersburg, I considered buying a kopeck piece in an old socket (sail or already 1980+), for 4.2-4.3 million in the area of ​​Enlightenment Avenue, lakes. It was quite adequate in general.

Answer 6

Yes, you can’t guess where you will work -> I advise you to SET UP at the beginning, and then rent for a long term
, at the beginning you can rent for a short term, or something on a shared accommodation / airBiandBi (literally a couple of months, while looking for a job)

Answer 7

Your question makes me panic. how can you search for life based on
does not fit in my head at all.
There are a lot of vacancies in java in St. Petersburg and they are scattered throughout the city, periodically grouped into business centers.
On the case:
Vaska is terrible in everything. + sect / hostels / affordable housing / dubious personalities
Petrogradka: a lot of social and VERY little commercial infrastructure. The rest is great.
North: an example for an amateur
Center: very, very not cheap
South: full trash - Petersburg butovo. You can only live near Moskovsky Prospekt
ps the most adequate option has already been offered - rented housing and a job search, followed by a search for your own living space according to your taste and possibilities

Answer 8

> we are remote workers.
Are you considering suburbs? :)
For example Kolpino?
Pros:
35 minutes by electron to Moscow railway station. Well, the truth is that during peak hours you can’t breathe there.
For life (and not for work just right). Everything is within walking distance. You can walk around the city in 30 minutes from one end to the other. There are also local buses.
A million kindergartens and schools in the old districts.
Cinema, hospitals, etc. everything is.
McDucky, Kaevsi, just recently a pizza hut opened, and closed on Nevsky (crisis?)
Near the park, the park is being ennobled. In winter you can ski down the river. You can go out into the field and end up in flax. area, but just walk the dog.
The cost of housing is much lower, if you were counting on a one-room apartment in the city, then here you can easily buy a two-room apartment with the accompanying amenities of life.
On the Moscow direction stop electric trains Spb-V.Novgorod, Spb-Pskov. Those. no need to go to Moscow to push around there.
Lower population density. It can be said that such a big village.
One of the modern pools, an ice complex is under construction.
When buying here, be careful, you may end up in the Len. region. Here, on one side of the street - Peter, and on the other side of the village. Many people buying, did not even know it.
Of the minuses:
Traffic jams at the entrance and exit. The problem is being solved, within 3-4 years a new exit from Kolpino will be built. There are some plans for a light rail to the new metro. To the metro by car about 15 minutes if you quickly leave early in the morning. By bus 40-45 minutes to Zvezdnaya, Kupchino. There is also a bus to Rybatsky.
Planes fly over houses, noise pollution. In winter, not really (the windows are closed), during the season, 20-30 flights a day fly by. It's really a matter of habit.
You won’t find any super rare things here, you need to go to the city.
If you work in the city, you will not run into. But in IT, you can also remotely with periodic forays into the office.
A little bit of ecology messes up. Cow dung is taken out to the fields, sometimes it smells :)
Let me summarize. Life in Kolpino is good for pensioners, maybe I'm one of those? pancake. I'm getting old.
PS: Are there Kolpintsy here?
