For sale: a 2-room apartment in one of North Tallinn’s most sought-after areas, Pelgulinn, which together with Kalamaja and Kelmiküla belongs to Tallinn’s protected heritage-environment districts. Aru is a street the city noise never reaches: low-rise buildings, greenery, and long-term residents who look after their own courtyard.
The Apartment and Building
This 38 m² apartment sits on the second and top floor of a stone building from 1960. It is bright, clean, and carries a distinctive retro character. The layout is typical of its era: one room is a walk-through. The shower room has space for a washing machine. The apartment is sold furnished.
The building has a closed courtyard, a locked stairwell, and a neighbourhood watch. A dry, well-kept cellar (2 storage units) belongs to the apartment. The building’s attic is clean and in shared use as an undivided common share. Heating works two ways: gas heating and a wood stove, giving you real control over your costs (the wood-burning cooker is not in working order). The gas boiler is serviced regularly.
The housing association is active and attentive. In May 2026 the building’s electrical system was replaced and new wiring brought to the apartment’s fuse box; the wiring inside the apartment has not been replaced but is in working order. The condition is average: ready to move into, yet leaving the new owner room to shape a home to their own taste.
Location
Pelgulinn is a calm, green, family-friendly district that has become one of Tallinn’s most desirable in recent years. Kolde Park and the community garden Pelguaed are close by, and schools and kindergartens, including Pelgulinna Gymnasium, are within walking distance. A large school sports field runs along Aru Street. Everyday shopping is easy: A1000 Market on Mulla Street, Ristiku Selver, and Pelgulinna Selver. The Telliskivi Creative City with its cafés and market is nearby, and Stroomi Beach and the sea are a short ride away. The city centre is about 10–15 minutes by public transport. Street parking is free.
Costs
Utility costs are low, roughly €90 per month in winter (cleaning, water, waste, gas, electricity).
The apartment is available to a new owner from August.
If you’re looking for a home in a quiet district with real character, well connected to both the sea and the city centre, call me and let’s arrange a viewing!
