This two-building complex has both owner-occupied units and SATO rental homes.

In terms of layout, the homes represent their time of construction. All have a private sauna and balcony, and most feature a living room-kitchenette combination similar to an open-plan kitchen. Some of the units offer attractive views over the fields of Backas Manor. All units have space for a dishwasher and washing machine.
