Senior apartments and other apartments for special groups
Our apartments reserved for special groups include housing for people over 55 years of age, artists and those practising their profession at home.
Applications for these apartments are also submitted to the City of Helsinki. The city selects tenants for these apartments based on the same principles as other Heka apartments.
Senior apartments
Heka’s housing stock includes about a thousand apartments for seniors. If you are over 55 years of age, you can apply for a senior apartment.

Artist apartments
Heka has 13 individual artist apartments and 14 apartments in the Kontula artist house, next to which 14 Finnish Artists’ Studio Foundation’s artist studios are available for rent. You can apply for an artist apartment if you are, for example, a visual artist needing a studio residence.

Applying for a special group apartment
