You don’t get wild ideas without an inspiring environment and space and peace for thoughts.
If you appreciate urban culture, nature, an excellent location and a safe environment, I recommend moving to the Oulu Region. We have the youngest and most highly-educated population in the entire country, which makes the atmosphere a wonderful combination of competence, openness, enthusiasm and a relaxed attitude.
The services and housing opportunities offered in the Oulu Region are those of a big city, but the simplicity of everyday life in Oulu makes it feel like you are living in a small, friendly town. The reliable public transportation system and the cycleway network that has frequently been ranked as one of the best in Europe make busy lives easier.
Housing prices are nearly 50 per cent lower than those in the Helsinki metropolitan area. There’s plenty to choose from in different kinds of housing in the Oulu city centre and its surroundings, and the Oulu Region has lots of space, even for your dream house. Renting is also a good option as prices are fairly reasonable.
Did you know that sports and nature are surprisingly close at hand in Oulu: in how many cities can you ski to your job at an international company? Or take a boat straight to the market and go shopping?
