Easy everyday life close to local services in Turku's Pukkila
Imagine a home in Turku where you can enjoy both easy access to the city and the calm of nature. In the western part of Turku, Pukkila in the Pitkämäki district is the perfect spot for those who value great transport links, a pleasant environment, and services within instant reach.
A leafy, historic neighbourhood
Pukkila has been built on the site of a former tile factory, giving the area unique historical layers. Its architecture blends old and new, creating a distinctive atmosphere. Behind it, the rolling parks and walking trails of Pitkämäki are ideal for a quick breath of fresh air, even in the middle of your workday. If you have a dog, you’ll find plenty of routes to explore together.
Excellent transport connections with no car required
From Turku’s Pukkila, the city centre is only about two kilometres away. Turku railway station is just over a 15-minute walk, and the centre is a quick cycle ride along the city’s network of bike paths. The best restaurants, charming independent shops, market events and cultural venues of Turku are all within easy reach by bike or bus, locally known as Föli. The nearest bus stop towards the city centre is just a few hundred metres away, next to the Manhattan shopping centre.
Living here, you don’t need your own car. But if you do have one – or prefer to use our residents’ shared car – you'll be on the road in minutes via the Naantali motorway.
Sports, arts and hobbies to enrich the everyday
The nearby Manhattan shopping centre makes daily life simple, with grocery stores, a pharmacy, a petrol station and the Sport Center sports complex, where you can play badminton, squash, floorball, or work out indoors all year round. Next door, the Centro dance studio offers a creative outlet for dance enthusiasts. The neighbourhood is also home to several small businesses and service providers to make life run smoother.
About a kilometre from home you’ll find the Art School Ilo ja Inspiraatio ("Joy and Inspiration"), with courses and workshops for all levels, whether you’re a seasoned artist or an enthusiastic first timer.
Culture, art and experiences within walking distance
Just a stone’s throw away is Logomo, one of Turku’s best-known event venues, hosting concerts, exhibitions, talks and more throughout the year. Imagine walking home from a gig by your favourite band in just a few minutes.
The planned Turun Ratapiha experience and events centre will bring even more to see and do in the future.
Ideal location for balcony gardeners
If you love gardening, the Viherlassila garden centre is just a short stroll away, behind the Manhattan shopping centre. It’s the place to find seasonal balcony plants, pots, or a new houseplant for your living room. And best of all, with the residents’ shared car, you can nip over to pick up bags of soil or new balcony furniture in no time.
