20 years ago there were much more old houses, whole neighbourhood from Europa PC to Žalgirio g. was untouched.
Most common scheme or public secret:
1. Big construction company wants to build something there, asks owners to sell their house them.
2. Owner refuses because he knows he is sitting on a gold mine, value of his house increasing every day.
3. Then "accidentally" house catches a fire and burns down.
4. Owners don't have where to live anymore so they has no other option than sell the land for minimum price. If the land wasn't private then owner left with nothing.
5. Imidiately new business centre or apartment building grows up.

Recently I visited Vilnius. I was exactly at the place you pointed out. I stayed at Calvary hotel (since it is pet friendly) and my walks with a dog were amazing. On the other side of the street in one old wooden building there was sauna, electric engine repair place and tombstones shop. And as far as I got as more impressed I was. It was so strange to see this much contrast in one place.

Old owners of those wooden houses(who own land bellow) are millionaires "on paper" without means to refurbish those old houses..
Ten or more years ago shady things were going on in Shnipishkes - houses were burned down and owners"urged" to sell property...

This feels very much like a Baltic Thing. You get the same situation in Riga and Tallinn.

I don't know if Lithuanians find their neighborhoods interesting, but I find Antakalnis really cool with forest, bunkers, and historic building all crammed between the river and the hill.
I also think Lazdynai is the coolest Soviet style neighborhood.

I think Šnipiškės has unique charm despite old buildings looking a bit rundown

This district is very distinct because it really does stand out, my father commented on it standing out on our way to that Turgas

That is my comment, "a reflection of Lithuania's fast-growing economy." Thank you. God Bless Lithuania.

I do find Šnipiškės quite charming in places. Taking a walk among those wooden huts makes me feel like I'm in a small village in some remote part of Lithuania. Transformation has been underway over the past few years which made Šnipiškės one of the most in demand areas to move to. All in all I consider Šnipiškės to be one of the best areas to live in Vilnius which is mainly to do with location i.e. proximity to the city centre and other important areas. Also, excellent for cycling with pretty decent bicycle infrastructure. There are still lots of issues in Šnipiškės (lack of bars and pubs, for one) and some things were not done as they could have when building things from scratch, but overall I'm very happy to live here. I'm also very happy that I moved here before it got so expensive :D

This gonna be (and already is) a massive tourist attraction after 10 years. The contrast is original and amazing! Hopefully Vilnius will save this neighbourhood as part of heritage

I was in beautiful Vilnius last month. I did walk on the main street of the business district but forgot to visit old Snipiskes, it would've been interesting to see the contrast of old and new in person. A slightly similar neighbourhood with wooden houses I did visit was Zverynas to the west of the city centre which was pretty and in a nice location Next to the park.

I walked there and is beautiful!!

They are actually trying to impliment a property tax in parliament right now.
Individual elderships can choose what the property tax is and it would range up to 4%.

Nice place I would like to traveling &work.there

I think this old neighbourhood should have a preservation order in place and the developers must donate funds to the residents to allow them to renovate and preserve their historical homes.
I love seeing the old folks growing and making things to sell on the street outside of the shops and Malls❤

there is property tax" Every year, Municipal Councils establish a specific tax rate for real estate situated in their territory. The value of immovable property owned or acquired by an individual exceeding EUR 150,000 is subject to real estate tax."

Any of these houses and land costs million +++. So alot people waiting for best opportunity.And real estate prices higher and higher every year.

There was an episode about Šnipiškės in "Daiktų istorijos". More and more people consider it a cultural heritage that must be preserved. It would be such a beautiful neighbourhood if the houses were renovated. I hope in the future it will become a second Žvėrynas. Though it's difficult to do since the current residents aren't exactly... people of culture... And I fear they will make the run down houses even more run down. I just hope it will be salvagable.
