🇫🇮 Where to live in Helsinki

Helsinki's residential areas range from stately harbour-side blocks near the oldest streets to island districts and newly built harbour towers. Some are dense and central, with malls and transport within a few minutes' walk; others are quieter, built around shore trails, parks and villas. The differences are mostly about density and how close the water and the transit stations are.
