CIAO! Io e il mio partner stiamo pensando di affittare un appartamento a Espoo (non voglio essere super specifico per motivi di privacy, è un’area fredda ma accanto a una fermata della metropolitana alla fine della linea della metropolitana. Lo adoriamo, ma il balcone/terrazza/parveke è a livello del suolo, quindi chiunque potrebbe saltare e provare a entrare. Ho attaccato il tipo di chiusura/porta (porta) che è.
Abbiamo vissuto in quest’area per un anno senza problemi, ma abbiamo vissuto lontano dalla metropolitana/trasporto/negozi, e nessun balcone come questo, quindi questo è nuovo per noi. Grazie in anticipo!

Don’t leave it open if you are away or sleeping. Other than that it is safe.
Completely safe or as safe as ground floor gets. A local drunkard or narc won’t come through a window and professionals use front door, they don’t want attention by performing parkour. Biggest problem would be traffic emission and noise but judging from the picture it is not towards the road so no worries about that.
Well this is Finland, probability of anything happening is extremely low. I wouldn’t worry personally.
Getting through even a window takes a bit effort and anyone seeing that would call cops immediately.
I used to live in an apartment with one of those. Nothing got stolen ever and nobody tried to get in. The neighbour’s cat would come sometimes, it was nice.
I will warn you that asshole teenagers and neighbours might throw cigarette butts during winter and you won’t notice because the snow keeps covering it, so in spring you might have a mess waiting for you to clean up
Glass is lockable too no? So climber would have to break it too first to even get to the balcony.
That is standard lock in a balcony hard to break and easier to smash the window in the door than break the lock.
I am more worried about insulation of the frontdoor because the door where you walk into an apartmenbuilding is open a lot.
Does the apartment have double front doors?
I am a locksmith and a construction worker by profession so i know a bit on the subject.
The installation of that shutter is manic. Why isn’t it attached to the door? I demand answers from this potential landlord.
Safe.
Nothing ever happens in this country.
In Espoo? Twenty years ago, extremely safe.
Now? Not safe at all.
I can’t seem to find a way to edit the post but: the photos are not of the apartment!! They are random photos from the internet to show what the type of door looks like
I think if you must ask it might have been a better choose not to buy/rent a ground floor apartment. Price difference is unlikely to be significant – especially if you have concerns about safety.
Having said that times of domestic burglary and carrying out TV sets is mostly reserved for movies.
Professionals will get in either way thought, and they will likely target detached large and very expensive houses. – no offence meant to you by the way
Those terrace window glass thingies are already impossible to open from the inside let alone outside. I wouldn’t worry about it.
