Casoria, on the edge of Naples beside Capodichino airport

Casoria borders Naples to the north-east, just beyond Capodichino airport, and for decades the only sign that you have left one municipality for the other has been the road signs. It is built up almost without a break: a very high share of its land is covered, and the fields that once surrounded it have given way to apartment blocks, warehouses and shopping centres.

For a buyer, the individual street is what counts. Next to the old centre around the church of San Mauro there are social housing estates, partly abandoned industrial zones and the outlying district of Arpino. Flight paths in and out of Capodichino pass over part of the town, so check the noise in person at different times of day. The ring road and motorway are a few minutes away, but traffic into central Naples is heavy.

The population is falling: 73,814 residents in 2023, 6.1% fewer than in 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. Households are large, averaging 2.70 people, the average age is 42.7 and foreign residents make up 2.1%. Average declared incomes are below the provincial figure. Public green space on record is scarce: 4 parks and gardens in the whole municipality.

Casoria is in seismic zone 2 (zone 1 being the most hazardous), like 75 other municipalities in the province, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.167 g. Many buildings date from the 1960s and 1970s, before current earthquake standards, so paying a surveyor to check the structural certificates, the occupancy certificate and any strengthening work is money well spent. Waterproofing on flat roofs and the condition of balconies deserve a look too.

On a plain almost entirely sealed by tarmac and concrete, rainwater drains slowly after storms, so flood hazard is read for the specific address.

For anyone buying in Casoria, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.
