House prices in Rome area by area
A metropolis like the Capital contains different worlds within it that range from the beaches of Ostia to the vestiges of the Empire. House prices in Rome are constantly evolving: here's an overview of interesting areas to buy a property.
Historic Center and Surroundings
Living in the historic center is like living in another era, or on the set of the film The Great Beauty. The winding alleys give you a village life, rather than a European capital. The wonders are not hidden: they are there around every corner, ready to leave you speechless. The cost of such splendor is obviously high, above the average price per square meter in Rome.
Prati and the Vatican area
The slightly lower-cost alternative is the large Prati area, a residential and professional office district full of restaurants, clubs, and shops, with splendid apartments in period buildings a stone's throw from St. Peter's and the city center streets. Average valuations are around €5,800 per square meter.
Trastevere and Testaccio
One of the areas most popular with tourists, the beating heart of authentic Roman life made of shops, narrow streets, and traditions. The beauty of Trastevere is hypnotic and romantic, and makes you forget the non-existent parking and the hustle and bustle of nightlife. Beyond the Ponte Sublicio, Testaccio retains the same popular spirit even though valuations are now those of an exclusive neighborhood, with peaks of up to 5,600 euros/m2.
Aventine and San Saba
South of the Circus Maximus and around the Aventine Hill, a highly prestigious residential area of international appeal develops due to the presence of organizations such as the FAO. The square meter valuations reflect the elegance of the neighborhood, with an average of over 6,000 euros.
Termini and Repubblica
A few steps from the center, the Termini station and its surroundings offer interesting offers for house prices per square meter in Rome. Perfectly connected to every corner of the capital, the neighborhood is continuously undergoing redevelopment and represents a sure investment opportunity starting from 4,000 euros per square meter.
San Giovanni
The populous area of San Giovanni is located a few kilometers from the Colosseum and the Tiber and offers a constantly evolving real estate offering, with historic buildings and new cutting-edge constructions with an expense between 4,000 and 4,400 euros per square meter.
Northern Rome
The northern area is home to the so-called "Rome affluent" in a residential area flourishing with the economic boom of the 1960s in a mix of elegance and great panoramic views of the city.
Parioli and Flaminio
Parioli is synonymous with social and economic well-being. At the foot of the Monti of the same name, between Piazza del Popolo and the Tiber, lies the Flaminio neighborhood, now a cultural hub with the Auditorium Parco della Musica and the Museum of 21st Century Arts. The valuations per square meter are in line with the prestige that has been around for decades, with peaks of up to 6,000 euros.
Corso Francia, Vigna Clara and Cortina d'Ampezzo
North of the Flaminio, the nightlife of Ponte Milvio gives way to resorts equipped with swimming pools and tennis courts in the area that goes from the Olympic Stadium to Piazza dei Giuochi Delfici up to Camilluccia and Cortina d’Ampezzo. Despite being a luxury sector, prices per square meter remain low: they hover between 4,000 and 4,400 euros.
Trieste, Salario and Monte Sacro
The north-east quadrant of the capital extends between Corso Trieste and Via Salaria with its elegant palaces and green spaces. Beyond the ring road, Monte Sacro and its surroundings attract young buyers with real estate opportunities starting from 3,200 euros/m2 and a lively nightlife.
Balduina
Let's move northwest to find Balduina, another quiet neighborhood about 4 km from the center with relatively affordable prices – between 4,000 and 4,400 euros. A little further north, the area between Via Trionfale and Monte Mario offers truly attractive prices per square meter in Rome – between 2,400 and 2,800 euros – especially for large properties.
South Rome
To the south, Rome stretches towards the Grande Raccordo Anulare following the long routes of Via Appia, Via Tuscolana and Via Cristoforo Colombo. A quadrant with a high population density and some truly authentic Roman glimpses.
Appia and Tuscolana
The two ancient consular roads run parallel and then move away from each other to enclose one of the greenest areas of the Capital thanks to the boundless Appian Way Regional Park. From Appio Latino to Ippodromo delle Capannelle there are large condominiums and services of all kinds, excellently connected to the center by the metro line A, for an expense starting from 2,800 euros/m2.
Ostiense, Garbatella and Navigatori
Between the Ostiense and Cristoforo Colombo streets lies the Ostiense district, rich in nightlife, artistic offerings, and gastronomic offerings from all over the world starting from 3,600 euros per square meter. Nestled in a maze of narrow streets, the Garbatella area is particularly attractive to young couples for its ancient and timeless charm.
From Ardeatina to Eur
As you move along Via Cristoforo Colombo, the buildings thin out and the greenery advances. It starts from Ardeatino, appreciated for the vitality of areas such as Tor Marancia and Montagnola, and continues with the streets around the Basilica of San Paolo up to Eur, with its elegant buildings and the white marble of the fascist-era palaces, and prices that reach a maximum of 4,000 euros.
West Rome
Behind the Vatican City, the western half of the Capital is a succession of climbs and green spaces with views across the entire city.
Gianicolense and Monteverde
From Viale Trastevere, Monteverde and Gianicolense climb with their panoramic beauty. The immense greenery of the Villa Pamphilj park hosts a quiet and elegant residential area, with house prices in Rome affordable for being close to the center, between 3,600 and 4,000 euros.
From the ancient Aurelia to the Gemelli
East Rome
The eastern Roman quadrant enjoys considerable attention on the real estate market thanks to the new metro line C and the gentrification of areas such as San Lorenzo, Pigneto, Torpignattara and Centocelle, with valuations that do not exceed 3,200 euros per square meter.
Between Casilina and Prenestina
In the sector that starts from University district of San Lorenzo and extends between Via Casilina and Via Tuscolana up to Centocelle and Tor de’ Schiavi a new multiethnic Rome, rich in cultural and artistic initiatives is growing. The inauguration of the metro line C makes the area of remarkable interest for real estate investments.
From Casal Bruciato to the GRA
North of Via Prenestina, the streets between the Collatino and Pietralata districts alternate two-story villas with new buildings designed for energy efficiency with truly advantageous prices per square meter in Rome. And with the metro B, the Colosseum is only 15 minutes away! Continuing towards the ring road, valuations drop further between Ponte Mammolo, San Basilio and Tor Cervara, up to a maximum of 2,800 euros.
In this Roman walk of ours we have only talked about the sectors enclosed within the ring road. Rome, however, extends much further, from the sea at Ostia to newly built areas – such as Bufalotta – up to the villas of Olgiata and Casal Palocco
