Lepiku

Lepiku is a residential subdistrict in Pirita, located in the northern part of Tallinn. The area features typical apartment buildings and houses alongside streets and local services that serve the community.

The area began as rural farmland and transformed into a residential neighborhood over the course of the 20th century. This growth was part of Tallinn's broader urban development and suburban expansion.

The name Lepiku comes from Estonian and means 'Alder Grove', pointing to the forest heritage of this area. This connection to nature shaped how locals relate to their neighborhood.

The neighborhood has good connections to central Tallinn via public transportation and local buses. Daily essentials like shops and services are accessible within the area.

The neighborhood sits adjacent to Metsakalmistu Cemetery and the Tallinn Botanic Garden, which shape the green character of the area. These neighboring spaces offer residents and visitors contact with larger natural landscapes.
