As showed the research the Ukrainians in the last twenty years on average, began to acquire housing in twice over the area.

In 1991 the average living space in the new building was 62 square meters, and in 2010 - is already about 121 square meters, which is called the original record for Ukrainian builders.

Inhabitants of cities bought residential property in an average area of ​​110 square meters, and in 1990 the average area of apartments did not exceed 60 square meters.

However, there are no more reason to be proud native builders for 20 years of independence. In 1990 handed over 17.5 million square meters of housing, which is roughly one and a half of Donetsk.

In 2007-2008, when there was a boom in the housing market through mortgage lending, into service was introduced only 10 million square meters. Per thousand people in these years was based by two apartments, in 2010 - only 1.7, while in 1990 this parameter was 5.6 flat.

Despite the more spacious apartments in new living districts, the ratio of apartments by rooms in total housing stock of the country for years of independence did not change.
