Ihaste

Ihaste is a residential neighborhood on the left bank of the Emajogi River in Tartu. The area combines housing with natural spaces and provides access to wooded areas and nature reserves.

The neighborhood emerged in the 19th century as Tartu expanded outward from its center. It has since developed into an established residential area to the southeast.

The neighborhood reflects how Estonian residential communities blend housing with natural spaces along the riverbank. Walking through, you notice green areas woven into streets and homes, shaping the everyday rhythm of the place.

The area has good public transport connections, sitting just minutes from downtown with universities and shops. Nearby nature areas make it easy to find walking trails and outdoor activities.

The neighboring Anne Nature Reserve provides direct access to protected forest areas, allowing residents to reach wilderness without losing urban conveniences. This balance between nature and city makes the neighborhood stand out.
