Kose, Residential subdistrict in Pirita, Estonia
Kose is a residential subdistrict in northeastern Tallinn that stretches alongside the Pirita River with neighborhoods and natural areas interspersed throughout. The area mixes apartment buildings with green spaces and creates a transition zone between city life and the surrounding countryside.
The area developed rapidly during the 1970s as Tallinn prepared to host sailing events for the 1980 Summer Olympics. This preparation led to the construction of new residential blocks and improved road connections throughout the region.
The Pirita-Kose-Kloostrimetsa Circuit connects residents to natural areas, promoting outdoor activities and environmental appreciation throughout the seasons.
Several bus routes link the area to central Tallinn and run from morning through evening for daily travel. Pedestrians can easily walk to local shops and the nearby Botanic Garden along accessible pathways.
The Pirita-Kose-Kloostrimetsa circuit is a walking route that weaves through forests and alongside the river, connecting the residential area with nature trails. This pathway offers residents and visitors an escape from city life throughout the year.
