Apply for housing with the City of Helsinki
The application period for the homes starts on Tuesday 17 September. You can apply for housing by submitting an application to the City of Helsinki. Heka does not process housing applications. Heka’s customer service will not advise on applying for housing and cannot influence the processing of housing applications.
If you have a pending housing application, you can add the apartments of the new location to your application by editing the application during the application period. Homes in new locations can be applied for until the apartments have been assigned. The City of Helsinki will start selecting tenants two weeks after the application period begins.
One third of the apartments are reserved as exchange apartments for those already living in Heka’s buildings. Apartments at senior housing locations can be applied for by persons over the age of 55.
Maritime Laajasalo to grow and develop
Laajasalo will be developing in the coming years with the construction of new housing and transport connections in the area. Close proximity to the sea and nature are integral to the Laajasalo lifestyle in the future, as well: you can easily access beaches and green areas from anywhere in the area. Thanks to this growth, Laajasalo and Yliskylä will receive new services and current services will be further developed together with the residents.
Laajasalontie running through Laajasalo will become the first urban boulevard built in Helsinki. In the future, pedestrians, cyclists, buses and trams as well as cars will use the street. Once complete, the Crown Bridges Light Rail that will run along Laajasalontie will take passengers to Helsinki city centre.
