When we think of Milan, the first images that come to mind are skyscrapers, the Duomo, or the refined architecture of Brera. A perfect mix of modernity and urban tradition, but let's face it: the Lombard capital is not the classic city that makes you think of a beautiful house surrounded by greenery.
In truth, however, there is no shortage of public gardens, villas, and parks, both in the center and on the outskirts. If you dream of finding a property near a corner of nature in the beating heart of the city, perhaps with a garden or a terrace surrounded by trees, you're in the right place.
We at Casavo have analyzed for you some of the best neighborhoods in which to look for houses surrounded by greenery in Milan. Let's start our tour right away!
House surrounded by greenery in the center: Parco Sempione and surroundings
Let's start with one of the most central areas of Milan. Covering 386,000 square meters, Parco Sempione is the city's green lung par excellence. All around what was the city's parade ground under the Napoleonic empire are some of the metropolis's most elegant neighborhoods, enhanced by their proximity to the park and the view of Sforza Castle.
Between fashion, design and greenery: the Indro Montanelli Gardens
Another central park in Milan, the Indro Montanelli Gardens – or Public Gardens, as they were formerly known, are nestled between the glamour of the Fashion District, the class of Porta Venezia, the innovative design of Porta Nuova, and the quieter Lazzaretto neighborhood. A perfect area for enjoying the greenery without giving up the well-being of the center, perhaps with a beautiful, perfectly furnished terrace to admire the city in complete relaxation.
The surroundings of Porta Ticinese
The Porta Ticinese area is renowned above all for its nightlife that centers around the ancient Columns of San Lorenzo. In reality, however, you only need to move a little east to find a natural oasis between the basilicas of San Lorenzo Maggiore and Sant'Eustorgio. The EC extends over an area of 40,000 meters quadri the Giovanni Paolo II Park – formerly Parco delle Basiliche – with its remarkable variety of trees that makes it a place of particular interest also for botany enthusiasts.
È an area still relatively little sought after, but destined to increase in popularity and real estate value with the opening of the Metro line 4 which will also stop in the very nearby Piazza Vetra.
The new Forlanini neighborhood
Let's broaden the radius of our searches for houses in the countryside and move towards Forlanini, one of the most popular neighborhoods Interesting places to buy a property in Milan. The city center is not far away, but the nearby Monluè Park, crossed by the Lambro River, immediately transports you to a quieter and less frenetic dimension.
In the Parco delle Favole in Affori
We conclude our tour of Milan's green homes with Affori, a neighborhood in the northern suburbs still little affected by the trendy crowds.
Affori guarantees tranquility, silence and plenty of greenery thanks to the garden of Villa Litta and the evocative Parco delle Favole. All this is just a quarter of an hour by subway from the Duomo.
