Auran Läntinen keskusta

Aura

The western part is considered the most dynamic district of Aura. It compounds the advantages of urban living with an unparalleled rural landscape. Services in the western center are broad but at the same time the surrounding nature offers its peaceful uniqueness. The area is also prolific in terms of business, to which Aura, valued by entrepreneurs, has made significant investments.

Aura's services and connections ensure a smooth everyday life

All is within reach in the west side of Aura’s heart: several shops, a health center, an elementary school and a library are all within a stone's throw. Thus, in this district you can find all the pros of proximity and neighborhood spirit while still feeling connected to nature. The flat-like landscape of the western center balances out the hilly terrain of the eastern center. To top it all off, this area has an excellent transportation network  – you can easily reach Turku, which is only 30 km away.

The western part of Aura also serves as a fruitful area for business. Industry and businesses are concentrated in the southwest and northeast. Northern Kuuskoski is known for its cultural landmarks Koskipirtti and Museum House which offer a unique opportunity to step into rustic waters and get to know the historical Aura.

In the green Sisupuisto in the city center one can solicit the newly built ladder for cardio-training. There is a new boating and paddling deck on the river bank, on which  can make the most of the emblematic Aura River.
