Districts
- Petrogradsky
- The Petrograd Side has early twentieth-century apartment buildings along Kamennoostrovsky Prospekt and the parks of Krestovsky and Yelagin islands within reach. The district is all islands, so every trip to the rest of the city goes over a bridge or through the metro.
- Tsentralny
- Around Nevsky Prospekt almost everything is a short walk and the streets are level. Greenery is scarce outside a few gardens, courtyards are enclosed and often used for parking, and the main streets are loud.
- Vasileostrovsky
- The eastern part of Vasilievsky Island is a regular grid of numbered lines, with shops along the main avenues and the university on the embankment. The western part is later housing toward the gulf, and from the newest buildings on reclaimed land the walk to a metro station is long.
The city stands on islands, and the bridges and the widely spaced metro stations set the shape of every day. Articles on St Petersburg, Russia, best neighborhoods mostly describe the historic center, and the center is where the trade-offs are sharpest. An old building puts you close to everything and far from a park, and many apartments face a courtyard.
Living in St Petersburg, Russia, also means living with the Neva. In the navigation season the main bridges are raised at night, and metro stations are further apart than in Moscow, so the walk to the station is worth measuring for each address.
