About the district

What to know before renting or buying

01

Infrastructure

Nõmme has preserved the atmosphere of a late-19th-century garden suburb: wooden houses, tree-lined streets, a local market, small shops, and cosy cafés. The Nõmme-Mustamäe forest park is one of the largest woodland areas within Tallinn's city limits.

02

Transport

Nõmme is well connected to the centre by commuter train (Nõmme station — 15–20 minutes to Baltic Station) and buses. Car owners reach the centre in 20–30 minutes via the main road.

03

Housing and prices

Predominantly wooden private houses and villas from the early 20th century — a rare format for a capital city. Apartment buildings from the 1950s–60s are also present. Prices are above average: buyers pay a premium for the unique atmosphere and forest-park setting.

04

Schools and kindergartens

Nõmme has several well-regarded state schools and kindergartens; the district is a traditional choice for families who value a quiet learning environment and closeness to nature. Proximity to the forest is an added bonus for children.

05

Safety and atmosphere

Nõmme is one of Tallinn's quietest and safest districts. Low-rise private housing, abundant greenery, and the absence of tourist crowds create an intimate, secluded atmosphere.
