There is a regional formula development project in the area. When it is completed, the Myllymatkantie 1 houses will be dismantled at the earliest in 2019 and new apartment buildings will be built.

Built for the most part in the 1960s, Myllypuro offers excellent everyday services along with post office, health station and pharmacy. The district is serviced by a book bus and the more extensive services of Itäkeskus are only a short metro ride away. Sports and exercise fans can take pride in Europe's largest floorball arena, which is situated in Myllypuro. There are also an ice rink and tennis centre within walking distance, as well as an extensive network of walking paths in the nearby parks.

Myllymatkantie street is some 10 minutes by foot from Myllypuro metro station. Stops for city bus line 92 and service lines J92 and J95 are also close by.
