About Koktem

Koktem grew in the 1960s around the old VDNKh exhibition grounds and has matured into one of Almaty's greenest established districts. Tree-lined streets, clean air and a strong run of trolleybus and bus routes along Gagarin Avenue give it an easy, lived-in rhythm that families return to generation after generation. The Almaty Botanical Garden, founded in 1932, anchors the green space, while the universities and malls of the southern corridor are a short hop away. For investors, Koktem offers reliable rental demand and a lower entry point than the prestige enclaves, with the usual Almaty caveats of a volatile tenge and seismic risk.
