Tapaninkyläntie, which runs north of Tapaninvainio, acts as a border towards Suutarilan Töyrynummi and Siltamäki. In the east, on the other side of Kotinummentie, Tapanila begins. In the south, the neighbors are the Ylä-Malmi and Pukinmäki districts. Tapaninvainio has several bus connections to the city center of Helsinki, Itäkeskus, the Airport, and the Malmi and Pukinmäki train stations.

History

A central part of Tapaninvainio's history is Kapteenskanmäki, which is now a playground and outdoor recreation area. The hill is named after the Russian captain and countess Manfeja Multanovskaya. The elegantly dressed captain with her talking parrots was a familiar figure to the residents of the area. Kapteenskanmäki was home to Multanovskaya's manor, animal stables, confectionery factory and, during the war, a bomb shelter, on the other side of Karhusuontie.

The manor – originally the main building of the Åsmus farm – was finally demolished in 1957, having fallen into serious disrepair. According to the markings on the wall logs, its construction year is stated to be 1811.
