Loopealse

Loopealse is a residential area in the eastern part of Tallinn, characterized by apartment buildings and streets that form the layout of the neighborhood. The district contains homes for several thousand people and offers the basic services that residents need daily.

The neighborhood was developed in the late 20th century as Tallinn expanded to meet the needs of its growing population. This period shaped the character of the district with its residential layout and modern infrastructure.

The Church of the Icon of the Mother of God 'Quick to Hearken', completed in 2009, reflects the spiritual life of residents in this neighborhood. The building stands as a gathering place that shows how the community expresses its religious identity.

The area connects to downtown Tallinn through several bus routes, making it simple to move around and reach other parts of the city. Good transportation links mean you can easily explore beyond this neighborhood.

The name Loopealse comes from Estonian and means 'Above Alvar', reflecting the geographic position and traditional place names of the area. This local naming shows how Estonian language and history are embedded in the city's layout.
