Name of neighborhood around Vanha kirkkopuisto?

Post by sven » Sun Jul 27, 2008 2:01 am

I was just curious what the name of the neighborhood is that surrounds Vanha kirkkopuisto (the small park that's in the middle of Lonnrotsg, Georgsg, Annank, and Bulevarden)?

Additionally, what's the general reputation, type of people, and choice of entertainment (restaurants, cafes, bars, music, etc) in Punavuori versus Ullanlinna?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Well, officially Vanha kirkkopuisto (referred a lot as "ruttopuisto", "blage park") belongs to Kamppi -district (ends at Bulevardi), but usually Kamppi refers more north, by Kamppi center. I would say its Helsinki center in common language (or just "area around Ruttopuisto/Vanha kirkkopuisto).

Punavuori used to be "workers" side and Ullanlinna "bourgeois" side. Now Punavuori attracts younger people, and it's considered as fashionable place to live. Ullanlinna is more "gothic style old town", disporpotionally many old and rich people.

As to restaurants - think about "people" I described above.

Thanks Mark.

What are the real estate prices (to buy or to rent) in the Punavuori district and do you know the best site or real estate agent for listings in this area?
