Jesolo, the Lido, the old town and the holiday flats

Jesolo is really two places. The old town, inland, is the historic and administrative centre, surrounded by reclaimed farmland; the Lido is the long line of hotels, apartment blocks and villas along the Adriatic beach, between the mouths of the Piave and the Sile rivers, east of Venice.

In summer the population multiplies, and that shapes the property market. On the Lido many flats are holiday homes or seasonal lets, with service charges and facilities geared to the warm months, while in winter whole areas are almost empty. People looking for a year-round home usually look at the old town or at the residential areas between the town and the sea. The 544 cafés and restaurants on record say a lot about how tourist-driven the place is.

There are 26,937 permanent residents (2023), up 10.0% on 2011. The estimated average age is 47.3, 23.9% of residents are over 65, fewer than in the province (26.0%), and foreign nationals make up 9.8%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Almost all the land lies a few metres above sea level and some of it below, kept dry by pumping stations and drainage channels. Flooding is therefore the main issue, along with storm surges on the beach, and the report checks the official maps for the exact address. For a ground-floor flat or an underground garage, ask whether there have been water problems in recent years.

Seismic hazard is limited: all 44 municipalities in the metropolitan city are in zone 3 on the Civil Protection scale, and here the expected ground acceleration is about 0.071 g. The climate is zone E, with damp winters. The Revenue Agency publishes cadastral maps, so the report finds the land parcel.

Overview

Jesolo is a municipality in the province of Venezia, in Veneto. At the end of 2023 it had 26,937 residents, ranked 7 of 44 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Jesolo is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. All 44 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.071 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has grown by 10.0%. The estimated average age is 47 years, in line with the province. 24% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 9.8% of the population. On average, a household has 2.1 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Jesolo declared an average taxable income of 24,203 euros, below the provincial average (25,574 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Jesolo is in climate zone E, with 2,345 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 2 metres above sea level.

Services

In the official Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health lists, Jesolo has 17 schools and 12 pharmacies. The Overture Maps data also lists 28 grocery shops and supermarkets, 17 healthcare facilities, 31 sports facilities and 12 parks and green areas.

There are 1.0 grocery shops and supermarkets per 1,000 residents, more than the province average (0.5).

Public transport

We do not yet have open public transport timetables for this municipality: the report says so explicitly, without inventing distances.

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 16.8% of the land in Jesolo, compared with 14.1% in the province and 11.9% in the region. In 2024 built-up land grew by 3.5 hectares.

Radon and contaminated sites

Jesolo 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 8 contaminated sites, or sites still under investigation, in Jesolo, 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 Jesolo: 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

The cadastral maps for Jesolo are public: from the address the report finds the sheet and parcel number.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 217 inhabited census areas in Jesolo. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 60 or more.
