Beregazzo con Figliaro, hills between Como and Varese
The double name comes from the two villages that form the municipality, Beregazzo and Figliaro, in the belt of glacial hills in the province of Como towards the border with Varese province. It is an area of woods, meadows and detached houses, about half an hour from Como, with Varese and the Saronno area within driving distance.
Beregazzo is one of the few small municipalities in the area that has gained residents in recent years. Istat, the national statistics office, counts 2,824 (2023), up 9.6% since 2011. It is a young community: the average age is 44.7, below the provincial 46.3, and households have 2.47 members on average. Foreign residents are 5.6%. Declared incomes are below the average for the province of Como.
The market consists mainly of detached and terraced houses and small blocks with gardens, largely built in recent decades, plus a few courtyard houses in the old cores. The land is uneven, with climbing streets and plots at different levels, so exposure, damp and access vary from house to house. The public transport data show no stops in the municipality, so a car is essential for secondary schools, work and big shopping trips.
All 147 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 4, the lowest, and the expected ground acceleration here is 0.039 g. Winters are cold and damp, in climate zone E, so in houses from the 1970s and 1980s energy efficiency is the item to check.
From the address, the report shows the price band, cadastral maps, the nearest services and the official flood and landslide maps.
