The area has historical significance: in the past the railways took people to America, to freedom, to start a new life, from the railway yard of Hangonsilta. Hangonsilta is a charming residential area where you live right in the centre of the city, close to its services. In this apartment building there are 64 differently sized apartments with functional layouts for different life situations. You can find laminate floors, tiled bathrooms, glazed balconies, window blinds, ceramic stoves, and dishwashers from these well-equipped apartments. In the materials and colours of these right-of-occupancy homes you can see today’s trends. The property has two common saunas and a laundry room, and each stairwell has its own drying room. A new common room is also available for use by all residents. You can walk or cycle to the shopping centre within few minutes. All the city’s cultural events are within a reach, not forgetting the various opportunities to do different sports. You can go to Helsinki by train within an hour, and it takes one and half hours to Tampere. The property is completely non-smoking, and smoking is also prohibited in the yards and balconies, except in a designated smoking area. Right-of-occupancy housing is an affordable form of housing where you pay a monthly residence charge.
