Hyvinkää for new residents - here's what to know before moving to Hyvinkää

Hyvinkää is a lively, small town on the main railway line in the northern part of Uusimaa. The city has around 47 000 inhabitants. Hyvinkää offers a wide range of housing options, both in rural-like settlements and in the urban landscape of the city centre. Hyvinkää's centre offers a comprehensive range of services, largely concentrated in the Willa shopping centre. The name of the shopping centre is rooted in the old wool (in Finnish villa) factory in the centre of Hyvinkää, after which the area is also named Tehdas (in English factory). Lumo homes also offer rental apartments in the Tehdas district, in an excellent location.
To the north of the Tehdas is the residential area of Mustamännistö. Construction in the Mustamännistö area began in the 1920s, when wooden houses were built for the wool factory workers. In the 1940s and 1950s, stone apartment blocks began to be built in the area, for example to house railway workers, and this is also the period when the rental apartments in the Mustamännistö owned by Lumo Homes area were built. In addition to these areas, Lumo homes also offer rental apartments in Hangonsilta and rental apartments in Hakala.
