Find your own home
Few cities can boast about their diverse housing options like Raahe. Whether your dream home is a house, a flat, a pad, a dwelling or a farm, you will find it with us.
Build
Raahe offers great plots that you can browse on the Tonttipörssi (available plots on map) website. Permits are primarily sought through the Lupapiste.fi service. The Technical Centre handles plot and building matters to obtain your dream home. Using local construction firms brings growth to the entire area.

Options for housing
In Raahe, you can live in a modern flat or a gorgeous detached house by the sea, a 100-year-old high-value property in the middle of the town, a cosy urban community or an affordable rented flat a few minutes’ bike ride away from services. If you like your own peace and quiet, you will find it within a short drive in Raahe’s villages, each of which has its own character.
Affordable housing
The affordability of acquiring and living in a home in Raahe can surprise someone moving from a larger city: Measured by municipal real estate costs, Raahe is one of Finland’s most affordable localities, you can get a large single-family house at the price of a studio apartment. You can then invest the money you’ve saved on housing in high-quality leisure time!
Fast connections to the world
Our agile city and high-speed fibre optic networks offer a great setting for teleworking or even running your own business directly from your home, both from the city centre which offers sea views and from the peace and quiet of the countryside. On the other hand, if you are looking for variation or inspiration for your remote days, you are warmly welcome to work at Praati, the coworking point in the city centre.
Developing city
Our efficient and very precise planning department works hard to meet the demand for plots in our city. Housing near the sea is naturally popular and more of it is underway in the coming years. However, there will be no plots with private beaches as the shore areas remain in recreational use for all city residents to enjoy them.
