If there any Indians with families, please share me the contact number or email id i will get in touch. I have a couple of doubts for the life in Hyvinkaa...
Thanks & Regards

Re: Indian Families in Hyvinkaa
Hyvinkää is a great place to live. I would love to live there. I don't know about foreigners per se, but I do know other cities outside of Helsinki send their foreigners there for the Finnish integration school thing. I know Nurmijärvi does. I did see quite a few foreigners there, but I never saw the amount like you'd find in certain areas in metropolitan Helsinki.
It has a good city centre with a pretty decent amount of people living there.
It's easy to get to Helsinki, by train, bus or driving straight down the Tampere Motorway.
It's a rather flat city, so great for biking, rollerblading etc.
Everything is kind of spread out there, compared to what feels like the cramped metropolitan areas of Helsinki.
There are a decent amount of "foreign" restaurants.
And there's a large new shopping centre.
The library is great. I liked the library there. They have a lot of English books.
Good schools for both children and adults.
I suspect the hospital there employees a lot of the residents who live there. And the company "KONE" is there, which must also employee a lot of people.
I think the area is pretty much a "well to do" area. Like in Helsinki you mightn't find a lot of homes owning two cars, but in places like Nurmijärvi and Hyvinkää and other city areas just outside of Helsinki, you need to have the income to be able to afford two cars. The public transport is pretty good in these outlying cities, but the cities are still pretty spread out with lots of little villages, so you really need to have the means to be able to support yourself living there if you don't work in the local vicinity, which many people don't.
There is night life for people who like that.
It's a really safe place and a great place to raise children. They can be outside without any worries or fears.
Cities like Hyvinkää, Nurmijärvi, Järvenpää etc, are pretty well off cities. Beautiful scenery and great cities to raise families in, in all aspects.
While Hyvinkää can be a bit dull in regards to having lakes and whatnot, you are not far from some other great cities who do offer what this city is missing. Hämenlinna is a great place to visit with a beautiful national park. And Helsinki is not very far away. I guess about 50 minutes by car depending on where you are coming from in Hyvinkää.
You'll be alright. If you really do end up living there, ask your fellow employees or students (I assume you will be coming for employment purposes or schooling?) for help finding a multicultural centre. There are surely those types of groups. It's a big enough city to have such groups.
