Levone, homes with gardens in upper Canavese

Between the last undulations of the plain and the first hills of upper Canavese, Levone is a small village at around 350 metres, within the Metropolitan City of Turin. Around it are meadows, woods and scattered houses, and the regional capital is not far: people working in Turin or its northern suburbs can commute by car.

Residents have grown in number: 455 in 2023, up 3.6% on the 439 of 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. Newcomers usually want a detached house with a garden, with more space and less traffic than in the city. The average age is 48.4, close to the 47.4 of the metropolitan area, over-65s make up 27.7% and foreign residents 9.9%. Declared incomes are slightly below the Turin area average.

For a buyer, the distance to schools and shops matters, as there are few in the village, and so does the condition of the house: in climate zone E winter heating is a real cost, and a good energy rating makes a difference to bills. In older houses, check the roof, damp and the systems.

Seismic hazard is low: Levone is in zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department's national scale, like 271 of the 312 municipalities in the metropolitan area, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.054 g. It weighs little in the choice compared with build quality.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for Levone, and the report goes from the address to the land parcel. Along the streams and on the slopes, flood and landslide hazard are checked for the exact plot on the official maps.

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