Basiglio and Milano 3, among the rice fields of the Parco Sud

Most people know Basiglio because of Milano 3, the residential district designed as a garden city and built between the late 1970s and the 1980s, on the model of Milano 2 in Segrate. Low blocks set in greenery, a small lake and services inside the district set it apart from the towns around it. All around are the rice fields, farmsteads and fields of the Parco Agricolo Sud Milano, the protected farmland south of the city, and the small original village of Basiglio.

Average declared incomes here are very high, among the highest in Italy and well above the average for the Milan metropolitan area. The market reflects this: large flats, often with a garage and shared gardens, and running costs for green areas and common parts that should be read carefully before making an offer. There is no station; the official timetables list 17 bus stops, with buses towards the metro and nearby towns, and Milan is reached by car through Rozzano.

There were 7,931 residents in 2023, 4.8% more than in 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age is 45.3, close to the provincial 45.6, and over-65s make up 22.4%. Foreign residents account for 10.5%, and households average 2.31 people.

In the Milan metropolitan area 60 municipalities are in seismic zone 3 and 73 in zone 4. Basiglio is in zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, with an expected acceleration of about 0.052 g, a low value. For the Milano 3 buildings, now a few decades old, the condition of facades, roofs and shared heating systems matters more, as do any works already planned by the building management.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, and the report finds the plot from the address. With irrigation channels and canals running across the plain, flood risk is checked for the individual house.
