Lazdynėliai

Lazdynėliai is a residential neighborhood in Vilnius combining apartment blocks, single-family homes, and green spaces throughout its layout. The district mixes densely built areas with open sections and scattered patches of vegetation.

The neighborhood developed during the 1960s-1980s as Vilnius expanded beyond its historic center. Building designs from this period remain the defining feature of the residential layout.

Residents use the shared green spaces and building courtyards as natural gathering points throughout the year. These areas become focal points where neighbors interact informally during daily routines and seasonal moments.

The area connects easily to central Vilnius through public transport options on several routes. Local shops, schools, and everyday services are accessible within the neighborhood.

The name refers to hazel shrubs that once covered the area before modern construction. Hazel trees still grow in scattered patches throughout the neighborhood today.
