Saarenmaa is a district of Jyväskylä, Finland. It is a semi-rural area that may be seen as a separate village.[1][2] Saarenmaa is also a statistical area which includes the nearby settlement of Vertaala.[3][1]
The road 16687 (Saarenmaantie) connects Saarenmaa to Palokka and Jyväskylä proper.[3]
Boundaries
The district (kaupunginosa, for local development) is smaller than the statistical area (tilastoalue) of Saarenmaa: the district only includes the Reijunperä area between and around the lakes Ylä-Tuomiojärvi and Kaitajärvi. Parts of statistical Saarenmaa also fall under the districts of Varsalanperä and Puuppola, while Vertaala is a separate district.[3]
