Everaus Kinnisvara celebrated the completion of the infrastructure and first-phase homes at the Kindluse Kodu residential development in Järveküla, Rae Parish, with a community day.
Planned across a 21-hectare site, the development will bring nearly 170 new homes to the area, with a total investment of €45 million.
The community day featured a ceremonial ribbon-cutting to mark the completion of the infrastructure across the entire development and the opening of the first-phase homes. Younger guests took part in the Everaus Kids’ Run, while the evening concluded with a live performance by Getter Jaani. Visitors could also explore a fully furnished show apartment and view the homes currently available. A variety of children’s activities and street food added to the festive programme.
The first phase of the Kindluse Kodu development has delivered 36 new homes in terraced and semi-detached houses. Infrastructure serving the entire development, including the plots for detached houses currently on sale, has also been completed, comprising roads, utility networks and street lighting. Approximately 3.2 kilometres of paved roads have been built within the development. The completed infrastructure lays the foundation for the subsequent phases and provides local residents with a well-planned, high-quality living environment. Buyer interest in the Järveküla development has been strong, with 72% of the homes in the first phase already sold.
According to Janar Muttik, founder and CEO of Everaus Kinnisvara, a comprehensive living environment is an important consideration for new homeowners. “The infrastructure we have built is not only important for the residents of Kindluse Kodu. It also improves mobility throughout the surrounding area and helps create a safer and more convenient living environment,” said Muttik.
He added that the immediate proximity of Kindluse School has been a major advantage for homebuyers. “Parents are tired of constantly having to drive their children around. They value convenience and want their children to be more independent. Having a school nearby makes everyday family logistics considerably more flexible. It is also worth noting that Kindluse School was named Estonia’s School of the Year 2025.”
Semi-detached homes have attracted the greatest interest. According to Muttik, this is because the semi-detached homes at Kindluse Kodu feel more like detached houses than conventional semi-detached properties.
“In practical terms, these homes offer the qualities of a detached house, as the only connection to the neighbouring home is through the garage. This provides residents with greater privacy and independence,” Muttik explained.
Kindluse Kodu has attracted buyers from Tallinn, Tartu, Rae Parish and abroad. The largest group, however, consists of families already living in Rae Parish who are looking for a larger home in the same area. This demonstrates the strong appeal of the neighbourhood and shows that, when the opportunity arises, people prefer to remain in the area for the long term.
“We see many buyers looking to upgrade their homes. For example, a family with two children may move from a three-room apartment in Peetri to a larger home while wanting to stay in the same area because their daily routines are already well established. Their children attend school or kindergarten here, their everyday travel patterns are in place, and they do not want to reorganise their entire lives,” said Muttik.
Kindluse Kodu is planned to comprise a total of 169 homes. Following the completion of the first phase, the development will continue with 40 terraced homes in the second phase and a further 44 terraced homes in the third phase. In addition to the terraced homes, plots for detached houses are also available for sale.
“When developing new homes, the surrounding living environment is just as important as the building itself. At Kindluse Kodu, we have approached the entire area as a whole from the very beginning. High-quality roads, lighting, utility networks and good transport connections all help create a place that is comfortable and enjoyable to live in and that will retain its value in the future,” said Muttik.
