If you want to combine the advantages of the big city with the tranquility of the wide open spaces, Piedmont is the ideal destination. It is not necessary to move to the villages of the Langhe, but you will simply need to look for a house on the outskirts or in the province of Turin. Living close to The proximity to the center, in fact, will guarantee you all the city's comforts, while at the same time allowing you to buy a house surrounded by greenery. The Savoy capital, in fact, is famous for offering as many as 51 parks and a livability that brings joy to its inhabitants.

If you don't know the city and its surroundings well, listen to Casavo's advice for buying a house in the greenery outside Turin.

Parella, the park district

We begin our journey to discover Turin with a neighborhood on the western outskirts, with a long history and rural tradition. Strolling through the Parella area, in fact, it is quite common to come across the centuries-old farmhouses that dot the surrounding area.

Thanks to a recent urban planning revaluation, it is now among the most interesting areas for those looking to buy a home on the outskirts. It offers all the main services combined with a fairly affordable price per square meter and, what's more, it enjoys a privileged location. A few steps from the Pellerina Park, it also contains a jewel of Baroque architecture: Villa La Tesoriera and its famous gardens.

Pozzo Strada, the outskirts of Turin with houses surrounded by greenery

In the greenest region of Italy, the green areas seem endless: the Pozzo Strada peripheral neighborhood is a further example.

Ruffini Park dominates its territory together with a truly surprising variety of open spaces: gardens, children's play areas, tree-lined avenues and wide cycle paths characterize its atmosphere. The metro then makes reaching the city center more convenient and the area less congested than many others. Thus, Pozzo Strada becomes an excellent choice for living in contact with nature, but just a few minutes from the center.

Le Vallette, the call of tranquility

If, however, the din of the city If it's not for you, in the northern suburbs there is a refuge for those who want to immerse themselves in nature and forget about traffic, horns, and smog. The Le Vallette neighborhood is perfect: it offers a wide availability of houses with gardens for living in a town center without sacrifices. It is mostly a residential area, particularly suitable for families looking for excellent services and a quieter life. And it's quite easy to understand why. With many parks available, this is the area with the most nature in the entire city.

Living in the province of Turin: Collegno

Leaving the outskirts of Turin and moving west we find the city of Collegno. This is equipped with numerous services, which will not make you miss the big city, but it is at the same time well connected to Turin and a short distance from it. Furthermore, Collegno is defined as an Environmental Protection Area by the Piedmont Region, as it is immersed in large parks and gardens.

Moving further west of Collegno, we find the town Rivoli, the fourth most populous municipality in the metropolitan city of Turin. This town is predominantly hilly and features numerous historic and artistic buildings, including the famous Rivoli Castle that looms over the historic center. Furthermore, there is no shortage of green spaces and an air of serenity. Turin, for any need or ambition, is well connected by public transport.

Mocalieri, between convenience and beauty

Another town in the province of Turin where it is worth living is Moncalieri. It is located just outside Turin, to the south, and is It is connected to it by both public transport and roads that allow you to be in the center in less than half an hour.

Moncalieri offers numerous services for those who love having everything within easy reach, and a charming historic center in the upper part of the city, with a breathtaking view of Turin and its surroundings. Here too, you only need to take a few steps to reach green spaces and the atmosphere is certainly less frenetic than the city.

San Salvario: for those who don't want to leave the center of Turin
