Dostyk Avenue

Almaty's grand dining-and-nightlife artery and the road up to Medeu and Shymbulak

About Dostyk Avenue

Dostyk Avenue is where Almaty puts on its evening face. The picturesque arterial climbs from the central districts toward the mountains, lined with upscale apartments, the city's deepest concentration of restaurants and cocktail bars, and landmark hotels such as the Novotel at the Abai intersection. It is also the gateway to the high country: the Medeu ice stadium and Shymbulak ski resort are a short drive up the valley, while Dostyk Plaza covers everyday shopping just off the avenue. For investors, the corridor pairs strong long-let demand with genuine short-let appeal, balanced against the tenge's oil-linked swings and the city's seismic setting.
