Imanta
Located in the western part of Riga, Imanta is a large residential district characterized by Soviet-era apartment blocks and abundant green space. It offers an authentic slice of local life, trading tourist attractions for parks, playgrounds, and a quieter, family-oriented pace. While it lacks the historic charm of the Old Town, its affordability and well-developed infrastructure make it a practical choice for long-term stays and residents seeking value outside the bustling center.
