It is not only the city where we live that characterizes our social life and defines the sense of belonging to the community: the neighborhoods in which we choose to live also play an important role. Who are the most expensive ones in the country? The portal immobiliare.it, by examining 12 Italian cities, has compiled a ranking of the 10 neighborhoods where it is more expensive to buy a house. Milan, and immediately after Rome, dominate the top 10 positions of the neighborhoods with the highest price per square meter. In particular, the capital of Lombardy occupies all the first four positions: in the first place we find the center, which includes the highly sought-after areas Duomo, Brera, Castello, via Manzoni and the Fashion Square, where a budget of over 9,000 euros per square meter (9,366 euros/sqm) is needed; then, with 8,500 euros/sqm on average, there is the area of Garibaldi and Moscova, historic center of Milanese nightlife; in third position we find the perimeter between Arco della Pace and Pagano, where a sum of just under 8,000 euros per square meter (7,903 euros/sqm) is required. The neighborhood just outside the podium is also Milanese, namely that of Palestro, Crocetta, among the highest profile areas of the city, where the demand is close to 7,800 euros/sqm. In fifth place, and first in its city, there’s the historic center of Rome: to live a few steps from monuments such as the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain, an average of 7,300 euros per square meter are needed. In sixth and seventh position are again two districts of the Milanese capital: the Darsena and Navigli area, between Porta Genova and Ticinese, where you need about 7,300 euros/sqm, 600 euros/sqm more than that equally known of Porta Venezia (6,700 euros/sqm), which is seventh classified. Eighth place for another district of the Capital, the Aventino area, which houses the famous Baths of Caracalla. Here the request is 6,600 euros per square meter. Two other Milanese districts complete the top-10, both above 6,000 euros per square meter: the area of Solari, Washington (6,300 euros/sqm) and that of Porta Romana (6,200 euros/sqm). To find one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the country in a city other than Milan or Rome you have to go down to the fifteenth position: here there’s the district of San Marco, Rialto, in the city of Venice. To buy a house near the famous bridge you have to spend over 5,550 euros/sqm.
