Sitsi

Sitsi is a residential area in northern Tallinn with a mix of apartment buildings and ground-floor shops that serve local needs. The neighborhood combines housing with retail and service businesses that cater to everyday activities.

The area developed as a residential neighborhood during the Soviet era and grew steadily through the decades that followed. This expansion established it as a settled housing zone in northern Tallinn.
