Cassina de' Pecchi, on the metro line along the Martesana
Milan's green metro line, the M2, leaves the city eastwards following the Martesana canal and passes through Cassina de' Pecchi on its way to Gessate. That is what defines the town: from the station you reach central Milan without changing, and a home a short walk from the stop is worth something different from one that needs a car.
Besides the main town, the municipality includes the village of Sant'Agata Martesana. The Martesana cycle path runs along the canal and is used for commuting by bike towards Cernusco and Milan. Homes are mostly blocks of flats and villas built in recent decades, with a few converted farmsteads, and average income is close to that of the Metropolitan City.
There are 13,909 residents in 2023, up 5.3% since 2011. The average age is 46.0 and over-65s make up 25.3%, above the provincial average of 23.0%. Foreign residents account for 10.0%. There are 9 supermarkets on record, quite a lot for the population; bars and restaurants are few, though, and for an evening out many people head to Milan or nearby towns.
Two seismic zones coexist in the province of Milan, both low hazard: 60 municipalities are in zone 3 and 73 in zone 4. Cassina is in zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.062 g. For a flat in a block, the upkeep of the building, the heating system and the service charges matter more; read the minutes of the last few residents' meetings.
Near the canal and smaller watercourses the report checks flood hazard for the address, along with the walking distance to the metro stop.
