Cadrezzate con Osmate, two villages on Lake Monate

The municipality was formed by merging Cadrezzate and Osmate, two villages on the shores of Lake Monate, a small, quiet lake in the province of Varese, valued for swimming and for the absence of motorboat traffic. Lake Maggiore is a little further west and Varese is about twenty minutes by car, in a landscape of low hills and woodland.

Buyers choose between the detached houses and homes with gardens in the two villages, flats in small developments and, more rarely, properties near the shore, which are few. Many residents work around Varese, Gallarate or towards Malpensa airport and Milan. The data show no public transport stops inside the municipality, so the car is the norm.

Istat, Italy's statistics office, counts 2,666 residents (2023), up 2.9% since 2011. The average age is 45.5 against 46.5 in the province, over-65s make up 22.3% and foreign residents 11.8%.

Earthquake risk is minimal. The municipality is in seismic zone 4, the lowest, like all 135 other municipalities in the province of Varese, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.039 g. It is more useful to check the energy rating and damp, especially in houses near the lake or among the woods.

Between the shore and the small streams, the report checks the official flood maps at the address, along with the landslide maps for the hills. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastre is published and links the address to its land parcel.
