Creazzo, a residential suburb on the western edge of Vicenza

Creazzo borders Vicenza to the west, and in several places the only sign that you have left the city is a road sign. The land is mostly flat, with the first hills rising north of the town towards Monteviale. It is largely residential, built up from the 1960s onwards with blocks of flats and detached houses for people working in Vicenza or in the industrial areas of Altavilla and Montecchio Maggiore.

The Vicenza Ovest junction on the A4 motorway is a few minutes away, and Vicenza station about a quarter of an hour. For buyers, the natural comparison is with the western districts of the city: similar types of home, often with more outdoor space, but with rush-hour traffic on the road into Vicenza to factor in. On the hillside there are more secluded houses with gardens and views over the plain.

In 2023 there were 11,178 residents, up 1.3% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 46.5, just above the province of Vicenza (45.9); over-65s make up 23.8% and foreign residents 9.3%. Average declared incomes are above the provincial figure, and a large share of the land is covered by buildings, roads and car parks, as is typical of towns on a city's edge.

Seismic zones vary from town to town in the province of Vicenza: 79 municipalities are in zone 2 and 33 in zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department's scale. Creazzo is in zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.150 g. In a 1970s block, ask whether any seismic assessment exists and whether recent works under the government building bonuses touched the structure or only the façades, insulation and systems.

Among mapped services, sports facilities stand out: 13, or 1.16 per 1,000 residents against 0.79 in the province. On the plain, flood hazard depends more on ditches and drains than on large rivers, and it is checked at the address with the official maps. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps.

For anyone buying in Creazzo, 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.

Radon and contaminated sites

Creazzo is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Veneto in 2025. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list one contaminated site, or site still under investigation, in Creazzo, and one more has been cleaned up or closed. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Creazzo: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.
