About Laakso

Laakso is well connected by public transport and offers a quick trip to central Helsinki and Pasila. It is very green, with forest nearby, and the housing is a mix of owner-occupied and rental homes that attracts a fairly mixed resident base, including many adults in working age. Its defining feature is the contrast between a calm, nature-heavy setting and easy access to the city.
