Moscow region (20 km from Moscow city limits), 8 km from Domodedovo airport.
The houses are mostly summer residences - most Moscovites (such hard is there life in this expensive city) have a summer "vacation" house in the suburbs where they live 3-4 months a year. Not considering this a vacation, just a matter of regular life. Those houses typically were bulit without running water (use your own well), no flush toilet (outhouse or septic), have electricity and in some cases natural gas. Nowdays western style developments for people who want to live in the suburb all year are built with all ameneties of civillization.
