Popis: The article presents the results of a study of new urban communities formation in the suburbs of large Russian cities, particularly the demographic Items of the population. Since the late 2000s, when the rise of the urban population and a shortage of affordable housing took place, projects on integrated development of areas located in the immediate vicinity of the “parent” of cities started to implement in the residential real estate market in some major cities of the Russian Federation. These areas include residential areas in Samara, Rostov-on-Don andKemerovo. The study is of an innovative kind not only because of the resent absence of the object, but also because of the new area’s kind. In the past century, the planning of such areas used to be centralized, and the study of emerging lifestyle in the new urban districts usually took place as industrial studies (for example, in the framework of the sociological service enterprises, that gave birth to city districts). The peculiarity of the current stage of development of Russian cities is a fundamental lack of coordination of actions, strategies and interests of different social groups and institutions involved in the process of genesis of the new districts. Another important difference of the new districts is their presence in the open real estate market. It means that in the new areas there are more residents who have acquired the apartment of their choice, taking into account their advantages and disadvantages. As a result, there has been formed a specific portrait of their residents, reflecting the intentions and capabilities of people, and the analysis of this portrait will give us a foundation for seeing a part of the urban population that is the most active in this form of behavior. The main hypothesis was confirmed: the main part of the inhabitants are residents of other cities and towns / localities that couldn’t find an opportunity to move to central districts of a big city and settled on its periphery.
