Istrana, on the Postumia road between Treviso and Castelfranco

The roar of Italian Air Force jets is part of life in Istrana, which is home to a military airbase. That is the first thing to consider if you are thinking of buying here: homes closest to the runway, or under the take-off routes, get noise that other places do not. Otherwise the municipality is a typical slice of the Treviso plain, west of Treviso, along the Postumia road to Castelfranco Veneto.

Besides the main village there are hamlets such as Ospedaletto and Pezzan, each with its own church and small centre. Homes are mostly detached and semi-detached houses with gardens, built from the 1970s to the present, plus a few restored farmhouses. Treviso is about a quarter of an hour by car; within the municipality Overture lists 8 schools and 4 supermarkets.

Istrana is young by Treviso standards. The estimated average age is 43.4 against 46.0 for the province, over-65s are just 19.3% of residents and households average 2.48 people, a sign of many couples with children. There were 9,106 residents at the end of 2023, up 0.7% on 2011. Foreign residents account for 8.1%. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

Earthquakes deserve attention in the Treviso area: Istrana is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection scale, where 1 is the most hazardous, like most of the province, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.170 g. For a house built before recent standards, ask for the design year and whether structural work has been done.

The plain is crossed by ditches and irrigation channels, and after heavy storms some low-lying spots can flood. The report checks the official maps at the address and, with the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps, traces the plot.

For anyone buying in Istrana, 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

Istrana 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.

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.
