Grugliasco, Turin's western edge and its university campus

Grugliasco runs straight into Turin on its western side and into Collegno to the north, so when you drive through you hardly notice where one ends and the next begins. It grew as an industrial suburb after the war and is more mixed today: blocks of flats and business parks, the Le Gru shopping centre, the Le Serre cultural park and the campus where the University of Turin teaches agriculture and veterinary science.

Most people who buy here work in Turin. Grugliasco station is on the line towards Bussoleno and Modane, served by the metropolitan rail network, and metro line 1 starts in neighbouring Collegno. Very little of the town is left unbuilt, and it sits in climate zone E, with long cold winters. In a flat from the 1960s or 1970s, heating bills and the energy rating deserve as much attention as the asking price.

Istat, Italy's national statistics office, counted 36,696 residents in 2023, down 1.3% on the 37,194 of the 2011 census. People here are older than the provincial average: a mean age of 48.5 against 47.4, and 29.4% aged over 65 against 26.4%. Foreign residents make up 4.8%, and declared incomes are slightly below the average for the province of Turin.

Earthquake hazard is low. The Civil Protection Department (Protezione Civile) places Grugliasco in seismic zone 3, like 270 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.065 g. In a block of flats, the minutes of recent owners' meetings tell you more: facades, roof, lift and boiler are what drive the service charges in the years ahead.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for the whole town, so the report goes from the address to the land parcel and checks flooding, landslides and the local price band there.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.065 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.

Grugliasco is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Piemonte in 2023. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list 8 contaminated sites, or sites still under investigation, in Grugliasco, and 5 more have been cleaned up or closed. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslides and flooding

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

House prices

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.

Land registry
