Find your own home
Options for housing
In Raahe, you can live in a modern flat or a gorgeous detached house by the sea, a 100-year-old high-value property in the middle of the town, a cosy urban community or an affordable rented flat a few minutes’ bike ride away from services. If you like your own peace and quiet, you will find it within a short drive in Raahe’s villages, each of which has its own character.
Vern and Selvie
The couple completes each other perfectly and cheerful laughter gives rhythm to speech. Vern is like a solid rock and Selvie joyfully bubbling creek, hands automatically finding each other and gazes connecting to find confirmation on joint memories. Being together for 8 years has obviously not been boring. The couple also shares the same workplace, which tends to cause “some extra drama” occasionally, but the brighter sides beat the worse by far, they say.
Education and training
Day-care centres and schools on the map
The day-care centres of the Town of Raahe have been positioned on the simplified map below. You can change the map base with the Karttatasot (Map Levels) button. You can view units on the map by enlarging the map. You can also search units by the address using the location search. To learn the address of an individual day-care centre or school, select its icon (such as a yellow circle) on the map. The location icon has a small link area at the bottom. The map information is in Finnish.
