Balashiha

Balashikha is a settlement in which about half a million people live. It is located in the suburbs. The cities of this region can not boast of good development. Balashikha is on the border with Moscow, when leaving it in the direction of Nizhny Novgorod. This city is considered the largest in the suburbs. It was founded in the XIX century.

Khimki

Khimki is another settlement located in the suburbs. Cities like this one can not be found throughout the region. It's so beautiful. The city-satellite of Moscow got its name from the river of the same name, which flows through the settlement. After the opening of the railway from the capital to St. Petersburg near the station "Khimskaya" a settlement arose. This event became the impetus for the formation of the city. Although Khimki belongs territorially to the Moscow region, land rent is lower than in the capital. At the beginning of this century, the first giant supermarkets were built here to meet the needs of the inhabitants.
