Borgaro Torinese, just outside Turin by the airport
The Turin city boundary runs a few steps from the last houses of Borgaro, and to the north the municipality meets Caselle and the airport. It is one of the inner-ring towns, on flat land, which grew during Turin's industrial boom years with apartment blocks and housing estates around a small old core. The railway linking Turin with the airport and the Lanzo valleys crosses the municipality, and the northern ring road is a few minutes away.
For buyers, being close to Turin is the main draw, together with lower prices than in the city. The stock is mostly flats in blocks from the 1960s and 1970s, often in need of updating, plus detached houses in the newer areas. Before choosing, visit at different times of day: depending on the location, the noise of aircraft taking off and landing can be very noticeable or barely there.
Borgaro is losing residents. Istat, the national statistics office, counted 11,719 in 2023, 1,901 fewer than in 2011, a fall of 14.0%. The estimated average age is 46.6, over-65s are 25.9%, slightly under the provincial figure, and foreign residents 4.2%. Declared incomes are close to the provincial average, a little below. Public green space and sports facilities are denser than in the rest of the province.
The metropolitan area of Turin has 312 municipalities, and 271 of them, Borgaro included, are in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department's scale. Expected ground acceleration is about 0.054 g, a low value. For a flat in a block of that era, insulation, heating and wiring, façades and service charges matter more, so ask for the minutes of the latest residents' meetings.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report finds the plot from the address. On the plain north of Turin, cut by the river Stura and irrigation canals, flood hazard varies from area to area and is checked for the individual address.
Key points
- Inner-ring town next to Turin, bordering Caselle airport.
- Population down 14.0% since 2011.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
