Nõmme, Residential subdistrict with forest character in Tallinn, Estonia.

Nõmme features numerous private homes from the 1920s and 1930s, surrounded by natural pine forests at the southwestern edge of Tallinn.

The area transformed from an independent village into a Tallinn subdistrict in 1940, following its initial establishment by Baltic-German landowner Nikolai von Glehn in 1873.

The Nõmme Market building stands as a central meeting point where residents gather to purchase fresh produce and maintain community connections.

Six railway stations along the western Elron route connect Nõmme to central Tallinn, while bus number 36 provides additional transportation options.

The district contains unusual granite crocodile sculptures and a statue of Kalevipoeg within Glehn Park, next to an actual castle built by von Glehn.
