Rome is a city where the thousand-year history of an ancient civilization and the present of a European capital with international appeal coexist. Every year, countless people decide to move to the Italian capital, and increasingly, market searches are shifting toward homes surrounded by greenery.
If you're also looking for a home that combines the advantages of a big city with the peace of nature, here are the best places to buy a property near public parks and green common areas in Rome.
Near Villa Borghese
Finding homes surrounded by greenery in Rome can be really easy. Approximately 80% of the urban area is covered by trees, parks, and agricultural spaces. To combine the pleasure of the outdoors with Lazio and the elegance of the historic center, there is nothing better than the buildings that rise around Villa Borghese. The large park extends for over 80 hectares, divided between the elegant Pinciano and Parioli neighborhoods, full of buildings with splendid views and dreamy terraces.
Near the Appia Antica Regional Park
The immense area of the Appia Antica Regional Park has a disproportionate extension that from the Baths of Caracalla reaches beyond the Grande Raccordo Anulare. The green area includes several nature reserves such as the Caffarella Valley, the Aqueduct Park and the Tor Marancia Estate, in a succession of monuments and traces of the Roman Empire along the ancient Appian Way. The park crosses very different areas of the provinceof Rome, all united by the abundance of houses surrounded by greenery.
Villa Doria Pamphilj a stone's throw from the Vatican
Not far from the Vatican walls, Villa Doria Pamphilj is ready to welcome you with its incredible combination of nature and architecture. Located between the Gianicolense and Aurelio neighborhoods, in the streets surrounding Villa Pamphilj, they offer splendid green homes in Rome for living in a capital immersed in greenery and silence.
Villa Ada with its pond
Let's now move to the northeastern quadrant of the Eternal City to explore the surroundings of Villa Ada. Not too far from Villa Borghese is the fourth largest park in the city nestled between the residential neighborhoods of Parioli and Trieste. Two areas of great well-being, where you can purchase splendid residences at an affordable price just steps from Villa Ada, where you can lose yourself in long walks along paths in the shade of pine trees and enjoy the greenery all around your balcony.
L'Olgiata, villas and elegance on the outskirts of Rome
So far we have talked about houses in the greenery of Rome not far from the center, highly prestigious real estate solutions but always linked to the idea of city life. If by chance you're looking for something completely different, moving towards the northern outskirts you'll find the renowned Olgiata neighborhood, a fenced and 24-hour guarded complex that hosts villas served by golf courses, swimming pools and sports centers for a completely unique urban experience.
Casal Palocco, between the countryside and the sea
From Olgiata we take the ring road and exit onto the outskirts southwest of the center. Here, suspended between nature reserves and the sea of Ostia, we find Casal Palocco, an area that since the 1960s has seen rapid development of villas for those seeking, even then, an alternative to the frenetic life of the City.
EUR, between grand buildings and oases of peace
We go up Via Cristoforo Colombo towards the center and stop at EUR, with its offices and conference centers of sparkling white marble. The entire area is a succession of quiet streets and residential areas lush with trees and small corners of nature, such as the central park that rises around the artificial lake, a destination for rowing enthusiasts, and the evocative Garden of Waterfalls. An ideal place for those, like you, looking for a home surrounded by greenery in Rome.
The absolute silence of San Saba
Not far from the Tiber and the popular liveliness of Testaccio, the San Saba neighborhood stands on a gentle hill surrounded by the greenery of the Baths of Caracalla, many small meadows and parks, and the inevitable Roman pine and plane trees. A small neighborhood where life flows slowly and peacefully, a short distance from the center and all the main places of interest.
The Esquilino neighborhood, multi-ethnic and trendy
One of the neighborhoods that more than many others has been experiencing a strong revitalization in recent years is the Esquilino. The neighborhood extends from Termini station to the Colosseum and takes its name from one of the seven hills on which the first Roman settlements arose. With its elegant Savoy-era buildings, the Esquiline is a multicultural center with a rich selection of restaurants. The gardens of Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, with the mysterious Porta Alchemica, and the park on the Oppian Hill overlooking the Flavian Amphitheater are the two largest open spaces in an area full of green houses in Rome.
Trastevere, between nightlife and Roman authenticity
Trastevere is listed among the things not to be missed in Rome in any tourist guide. With its narrow streets, old shops alternating with trendy bars, restaurants and its small village atmosphere, it is a true paradise for tourists looking for souvenir photos. Trastevere, however, is much more. It is a center with an ancient and spontaneous Roman essence, which knows how to resist trends and change. A neighborhood where nature is the main protagonist, between the splendid Botanical Gardens, the historic residences with centuries-old trees, and the Janiculum Hill that rises behind the neighborhood.
As we were saying, finding homes surrounded by greenery in Rome is really easy in Italy. The entire city enjoys the shade of the trees and outdoor spaces where you can relax and unwind. If you're looking for your new home near a park, and perhaps with a garden or terrace, we're waiting for you on the Casavo's classifieds platform!
