There are a lot of plots, which are reasonably priced, whether they are small or large. The largest one is spread over half an hectare. Detached houses range from 500,000 FIM (84,093 euro) upwards. These prices are half of those you can find in the Helsinki region. In September 2000, the costs of older flats were under 7,000 FIM/m2, (1180 euro). Some virtual media houses are being built accommodated with all the modern technology comforts. The costs of living in the region are, on an average scale, cheaper than in the Helsinki and Tampere regions. There is a good range of rented accommodation available. A rented bed-sit is between 2,000-2,500 FIM (336 – 420 euro) per month - depending of course on the location and the condition - and the larger apartments are between 2,500-5,000 FIM (420 – 840 euro).
