What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Helsinki?

We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Helsinki is like. They answered...

"Expats in Helsinki can rent a large variety of accommodation, from modern studio apartments to traditional Finnish homes. Most apartments are well-equipped, with up-to-date appliances, and many feature generous balconies with views over the city. Most will also have access to a sauna and washing facilities. Depending on the neighborhood, some apartments may also come with access to gardens and other amenities, while others may offer more of a city-dwelling experience. There are lots of public transport options, and with the city's comprehensive bike-share system, getting around is easy," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Helsinki, Finland.

"Tower block in the suburbs but not nearly as grim as I imagined. It's clean, modern and there's even a washer and sauna room. Might be because it's subsidised young people's housing. All the other ex pats I know have had to take jobs as nannies/au pairs so they live with their employers," commented one expat who made the move to Helsinki, Finland.
