Affi, between Lake Garda and the Adige valley

Many people know Affi for its exit on the Brennero motorway (A22), the one you take to reach the Verona shore of Lake Garda. The village sits on a plain between the glacial hills and the lower slopes of Monte Baldo, a few minutes from the lake but without a waterfront, so it is a place where people live all year round rather than a holiday resort.

Homes here are mostly detached houses and small blocks of flats built in recent decades. The shopping and business area lies near the motorway junction, while the quieter residential streets are towards the hills. It works well for anyone commuting to Verona, to the lake or along the Adige valley, and everyday services are close at hand: the data show 4 supermarkets and 48 restaurants and bars, far more per head than the provincial average.

Istat, the national statistics institute, counts 2,443 residents in 2023, up 6.4% on 2011. The average age is 45.2, close to the 45.6 of the province of Verona, and foreign residents make up 9.0%. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

More than half the municipalities around Verona, including those of Monte Baldo and Lake Garda, are in zone 2. Affi is in seismic zone 2, like 54 other municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration in the village is 0.165 g. For a house built before the 1980s, ask whether any structural work has been done and check the certificate of fitness for use.

The cadastral maps of the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) are published, so the report can go from the address to the land parcel, with services and distances measured from the house itself.

For anyone buying in Affi, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.
