Located by Untamalanpuisto park, all of the homes in this pleasant complex of three four-storey buildings have a balcony facing west or south. The layouts are clean and practical, and most homes have a walk-in wardrobe. All apartments have space for a washing machine. The spacious grounds for play and relaxation surrounded by trees were restored in 2008.
