Castelraimondo, the Potenza valley between Camerino and Matelica

Castelraimondo lies in the upper valley of the Potenza river, in the inland Macerata area, at a crossing point between Camerino and Matelica. The town has grown on the valley floor around a medieval core, and the railway between Civitanova Marche and Fabriano has a station here that also serves Camerino. Around it are farmed hills, woods and scattered hamlets.

That position makes it a service centre for the area: the data lists 44 services, including 5 supermarkets. Buyers will find flats in small blocks on the valley floor, village houses and farmhouses in the hills; Camerino, a university town, is close, and rental demand from students and staff is worth considering.

There are 4,360 residents, down 8.0% since 2011. The average age is 48.3 against 47.2 for the province of Macerata, over-65s make up 28.4% and foreign residents 7.9%. Declared incomes are in line with the provincial average.

The Marche Apennines are highly seismic. Castelraimondo is in zone 2 with 48 other municipalities in the Macerata area, while 6 are in zone 1, the highest in the Civil Protection classification; the expected ground acceleration is about 0.184 g. Before buying, ask whether the house has suffered earthquake damage, whether it received repair grants, how far the paperwork has got and whether seismic improvements have been made.

Near the river and on the hillsides the report reads the official flood and landslide maps for the address. The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps are published.
