Benefits of Living Near Schools
Living close to educational institutions comes with many advantages. Short distances simplify daily life and save time otherwise spent commuting. This can also reduce travel costs and stress, especially during exam periods. What’s more, many areas near schools offer great services and leisure options—cafés, libraries, and sports facilities—that enrich student life with comfort and variety.
Have You Considered a Right-of-Occupancy Home?
Right-of-occupancy housing is a great choice if you want the flexibility of renting combined with the security of ownership. To apply, you need a queue number, which is obtained from ARA (The Housing Finance and Development Centre of Finland). Residents pay a right-of-occupancy fee—10–15% of the apartment’s original price—which is refunded when moving out. In addition, a monthly maintenance charge is paid to cover housing and upkeep costs.
While living in a right-of-occupancy home, you can also apply for housing allowance. Support may be granted for:
- Maintenance charge: the monthly fee for right-of-occupancy housing
- Separately paid water and heating fees: water (20 €/month/person) and heating (46 €/month for one person + 16 €/month per additional person), if paid separately from rent
- Mortgage interest: support may cover 73% of interest costs through the end of 2024
