From town manor to a rapidly developing administrative district
Haabersti District is mostly known for Väike-Õismäe subdistrict, but it’s actually one of the most diverse areas in Tallinn.
Those who have looked at Haabersti closer know that in addition to the district of Soviet panel apartment blocks, Haabersti also has very diverse urban and nature landscape to offer, from the luxurious Kakumäe to Veskimetsa in the vicinity of the zoo.
There are actually a dozen subdistricts in Haabersti: Astangu, Haabersti, Kakumäe, Mustjõe, Mäeküla, Pikaliiva, Rocca al Mare, Tiskre, Veskimetsa, Veskismeistri, Väike-Õismäe and Õismäe.
Officially, Haabersti is an administrative district of Tallinn that borders Põhja-Tallinn, Kristiine, Mustamäe and Nõmme districts and Harku and Saue rural municipalities.
As at the beginning of March of this year, the district is home to 45,910 residents; approximately half of those are Estonians, followed by Russians as the second largest ethnic group. There are fewer numbers of Ukrainians, Belarusians, Finns, Jews, Tatars and other nationalities living in Haabersti.
The central subdistrict of Haabersti is the compact residential area of Väike-Õismäe established in the 1970–1980s where the majority of Haabersti’s population lives. The residential area has been entered in the national register of cultural monuments as an architectural site of the twentieth century.
The largest area of private residences in Haabersti is situated in Kakumäe.
The popularity of Haabersti as a place to live has increased noticeably over the last decade, and a great many new apartment buildings as well as private residences have been established in the district. Presently, new developments can be found in virtually all the subdistricts.
The popularity of Haabersti is also confirmed by the increase in the number of sales transactions of apartments in the recent years, which remains around 100 transactions a month in the most active months.
One of the main reasons for this is the rapid development of infrastructure, availability of services, and recreational opportunities offered by the district.
After all, Haabersti is home to the well-known Estonian Open Air Museum, Tallinn Zoo, Saku Suurhall, Rocca al Mare shopping centre, Ice Arena, and a number of sports clubs.
These are complemented by health trails and cycle and pedestrian tracks, green areas and beaches.
Cycle and pedestrian tracks connect Haabersti to neighbouring districts such as Stroomi Beach situated in Põhja-Tallinn.
Lake Harku and Kakumäe Beach are also situated in the district.
