Best Places to Buy Luxury Apartments in Estonia (2025) — What We Think

Luxury apartments in Estonia are still a hidden advantage compared to many European markets: you get high build quality, strong legal protections, and prime locations without the overheated pricing seen in larger capitals. But luxury here is very location-specific. The right address makes the difference between a beautiful home and a truly premium asset.

Here’s our view on the best places to buy luxury apartments in Estonia in 2025 — and why each one stands out.

1. Tallinn City Center (Kesklinn) — The Core Luxury Market

If Estonia has a single true luxury apartment hub, it’s Tallinn’s center. This is where premium buyers find:

• architect-designed new builds

• restored historical residences

• penthouses with terraces and views

• walkable, high-status addresses

• highest resale liquidity in the country

Best micro-areas within Kesklinn

• Old Town edge / Toompea slopes for heritage prestige

• Rotermann Quarter for modern luxury and waterfront proximity

• Südalinn core for the most central, prime positioning

• Harbor / Noblessner adjacency for new premium development zones

2. Kadriorg — Park-Side Prestige and Quiet Luxury

Kadriorg is Tallinn’s most classic upscale district. Luxury apartments here tend to offer:

• leafy park views

• elegant historical buildings

• a quieter, residential feel

• strong long-term demand from execs and diplomats

It’s ideal for buyers who want a premium address without the bustle of Old Town traffic.

3. Pirita — Waterfront Space, Views, and Lifestyle

Pirita is Tallinn’s luxury lifestyle zone. It attracts buyers looking for:

• sea views and waterfront proximity

• larger apartments and penthouses

• modern builds with parking and balconies

• a resort-like calm minutes from the city

Pirita is especially strong for families and long-term lifestyle buyers. Inventory is smaller than Kesklinn, which helps preserve exclusivity.

4. Noblessner / Kalamaja Waterfront Edge — Modern Urban Luxury

This area has become Tallinn’s “new luxury frontier.” Buyers love it because it combines:

• bleeding-edge modern architecture

• marina-side lifestyle

• cafes, culture, and walkability

• boutique developments with limited supply

These properties often perform well for both owner-living and premium long-term rentals.

5. Tartu Center — A Smaller Luxury Market With Strong Fundamentals

Tartu doesn’t compete with Tallinn in volume, but luxury buyers here get something different:

• refined new builds

• a stable tenant base of university + tech professionals

• excellent long-term liquidity in the city core

• lower price per square meter than Tallinn luxury

Tartu luxury makes sense for buyers who want a premium home in Estonia’s second city — or investors targeting high-quality long-term rentals.

6. Pärnu and Select Coastal Towns — Lifestyle Luxury

Luxury apartments in Pärnu (and a few boutique coastal spots) are driven by:

• summer demand and resort living

• spa and beach proximity

• high quality renovated villas converted into premium flats

• short-stay or hybrid rental potential

These are best for lifestyle buyers or investors who understand seasonal performance.
