Rental apartments in Tammisto, Vantaa

One of Vantaa’s greatest strengths is the strong identity of its districts. Tikkurila, Myyrmäki, Hakunila, Kartanonkoski: each has its own unique neighbourhood and character. Railway lines, the airport, major shopping centers and historic manor estates with surrounding fields shape the cityscape. New homes are being built along the Ring Rail Line, while legendary suburbs are being revitalised through infill development and renovation.

Public transport takes you from your rental home to work and back

Vantaa’s public transport is first class. The Ring Rail Line, the excellent commuter rail network and, of course, Helsinki Airport connect residents to destinations both near and far. And buses take you where the train does not yet reach.

For motorists, Vantaa is conveniently located alongside the main transport routes. Ring Road III, Tuusulanväylä and Lahdenväylä provide smooth connections for commuting and weekend trips alike. For shorter journeys, many residents hop on a bicycle or travel on foot.

Despite the excellent transport links, public transport continues to be developed. The Vantaa Light Rail currently under construction will, in the future, connect the airport and Mellunmäki via a 19.3-kilometre light rail route, which is scheduled for completion in 2029.

International business and student life

Thanks to its excellent transport connections, Vantaa is home to a wide range of businesses and employment opportunities for professionals across many sectors. Aviapolis, which has developed near the airport, is a rapidly growing international business and employment hub with companies operating in logistics, technology, retail and tourism.

Opportunities for future stars to study are also close at hand. Laurea University of Applied Sciences’ campus in Tikkurila and Metropolia University of Applied Sciences’ Myyrmäki campus keep student life in the city vibrant.

The peace of a national park and the pulse of festivals

The forest trails of Sipoonkorpi National Park make it easy to forget, for a moment, that you are part of the Helsinki metropolitan area, while Kuusijärvi attracts visitors year-round for outdoor activities, winter swimming and its traditional smoke sauna. In summer, the recreational routes running along the Vantaa River and Kerava River fill with joggers, cyclists and picnic groups. One of Vantaa’s strengths is its proximity to nature, which is easily accessible from almost anywhere in the city.

For culture lovers, Vantaa offers fascinating attractions for all ages. Heureka Science Centre provides food for thought, bringing science and technology to life through interactive exhibitions. Meanwhile, the Finnish Aviation Museum offers the chance to explore the history of Finnish aviation close to Helsinki Airport.

A wide range of events and cultural activities keep Vantaa residents engaged throughout the year, from festivals to Vantaa Folk Music Week. In summer, Tikkurila Festival brings well-known artists and a genuine festival atmosphere to the city. Throughout the year, local markets and open-air concerts further enrich the program, bringing residents together across Vantaa and the wider Helsinki metropolitan area.

Everything you need close to home

In Vantaa, services are close by and everyday life revolves around several vibrant district centers rather than a single city center. Jumbo Shopping Centre offers shopping and many other daily services under one roof, while the adjacent Flamingo Entertainment Centre provides activities and experiences for the whole family.

Residents of Vantaa are spoilt for choice when it comes to hobbies and sports facilities. The city maintains a wide range of outdoor sports venues where you can spend time skateboarding or playing disc golf, for example. During the winter season, skating enthusiasts can enjoy well-maintained ice rinks.
