Who’s Selling a Luxury Home in Astana?

On the left bank of Astana, near the Ishim River, sits one of the capital’s most exclusive neighborhoods — the so-called parliamentary town. The area is known for its gated properties, well-kept streets, and, increasingly, its exceptionally high real-estate prices.

While browsing listings on Krisha.kz, Orda.kz found that the city’s priciest houses are concentrated in this neighborhood. Many are advertised without photos and with only minimal descriptions — a level of privacy that has become characteristic of the area.

A “modest” nine-room, three-story house with a sauna, gym, home cinema, and even a guest yurt is listed for around one billion tenge.

One of the most expensive properties currently on the market costs 8.09 billion tenge. It spans over 2,000 square meters and includes a pool, sauna, garden, and 240 hectares of land.

However, photos of these homes are rarely available online.

One realtor told Orda.kz:

Privacy, real-estate agents say, is standard for high-value transactions. Owners and potential buyers alike often prefer to keep such deals confidential.

The “deputy town” appeared around 2014 on the site of former dachas, during the tenure of then-mayor Imangali Tasmagambetov. Its proximity to the city center, the Yesil embankment, and landmarks such as the Presidential Park and Hazrat Sultan Mosque make it especially desirable.

Fresh air, good infrastructure, and a peaceful neighborhood — that’s what attracts people here,
 say realtors.

Rumor has it that businessmen, former and current politicians, and high-ranking security officials live here.
