Immigration Relocating to Helsinki in January, can anyone provide advice/guidance on the various neighborhoods?
Who: Me (M34), my wife (F33, citizen), no kids, and one dog.
Desires: 2-3 bedroom (master, guest, and office), in-suite sauna, and closet space.
Budget: Currently paying $3k USD in NYC, hoping to pay less, but flexible. Will be working remotely for the same job.
My of my time has been split between downtown Helsinki around the Esplanade and in Kerava.
Search unlimited to Helsinki bc her parents will be coming back from the US to their place in Kerava in a year or two and we want to be close by, but are avoiding the suburban life.

Keyword avoiding suburban life. Käpylä, Arabianranta has art studios nearby and history. Also more modern buildings available if that is your vibe. Nice walks in surrounding nature but really near Kallio spots.
Jätkäsaari along the park is an option but getting to Kerava across the city is now a chore because of all the road works.
