Milan you know, life is expensive. Rents, let’s not talk about it. Buying a house then even worse. For some now, the choice remains only to move outside, to the province where you can find something more affordable and accessible for everyone without shelling out a kidney. And the other as well. But where to go? What is the cheapest town in the province Milan where to buy a house? According to Idealista’s data from last December 2023, it appears to be Turbigo.
The average price per square meter in Turbigo is 1,062 euros/sqm, followed by other municipalities in the province such as Robecchetto con Induno (1,093 euros/sqm) and Castano Primo (1,195 euros/sqm). The complete data can be consulted at this link. Moderate figures if we think that in Milan the average price is around 4,985 euros/sqm.
Turbigo has more than 7,000 inhabitants and is located about 60 km from Milan. Traffic permitting, you can get there in an hour. Located along the Naviglio Grande, Turbigo is a great option for those who want greenery and a less hectic life without straying too far from the city.
A place full of charm, history and culture with its Visconti Castle that dominates unchallenged, its 17th-century churches and other monuments that tell the story of a small town whose origins seem to date back to the distant 1st century BC. Situated on the first terrace of the Ticino Valley, it is an area rich in greenery admired over the centuries for its environmental beauty.
For a more human-scale, healthy and peaceful lifestyle choice without necessarily giving up what the city has to offer. Milan is easily accessible both by train (45 min approx.) and by car (1h approx.) and then Malpensa international airport is just around the corner (15 min drive). So really strategic location.
