Casamarciano, in the Nola area at the foot of the hills

Casamarciano belongs to the Nola area, inland to the north-east of Naples, where the farmed plain gives way to the first hills. It is small compared with the province's larger towns, with a compact centre and low-rise houses, and it looks to Nola for services, secondary schools and shopping.

The market is mostly family houses, low apartment buildings and homes with a courtyard, often extended over time. For this reason, before buying it is wise to check that the property matches what is recorded at the town hall and in the land registry: planning permits and floor plans should be checked with a surveyor. The report provides the land parcel data from the address and the official landslide and flood maps, worth reading for houses on the edge of town towards the hills.

Unlike many municipalities around Naples, the population here is older than average: the average age is 46.1, against 43.2 for the metropolitan area. According to Istat, the national statistics office, there were 3,021 residents in 2023, down 7.7% since 2011; over-65s are 22.9% and foreign nationals 1.6%. Declared incomes are in line with the provincial average, slightly below.

Casamarciano is in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.183 g. In an area of masonry buildings from different periods, the year of construction and any structural work are the first questions to ask. The climate is mild, climate zone C.
