Discover Sarkandaugava
official neighborhood guide by Urban Treetops
Sarkandaugava has a casual vibe that attracts young families who want to live near the city center and this neighborhood definitely has a strong community! Located in the northern part of Riga city, Sakandaugava (word combination from Latvian language: Redaugava) was an active part of the city from the 18th century. Sarkandaugava got its name because it is a smaller part of river Daugava. We can definitely say that Sarkandaugava is one of the most interesting neighborhoods in Riga, that somehow has managed to save a low key atmosphere.
