Limido Comasco, the Como plain towards Saronno

Where the last hills of the province of Como give way to the plain, in the south-western part of the province, Limido Comasco is a mainly residential village. Saronno lies to the south and Como to the north-east, while Milan remains the big employment area for people living here. Provincial roads link the village to nearby towns and to the motorways.

The figures describe a young municipality. In 2023 there were 3,879 residents, up 2.3% from 3,793 in 2011. The average age is 42.3 against 46.3 in the province of Como, and over-65s make up only 16.2% against 24.1% for the province. Households average 2.38 people and foreign residents account for 5.9%. Average declared incomes are just above the provincial average.

The landscape is that of the built-up Lombard plain: detached and terraced houses from recent decades, a few old courtyard houses in the historic core, small business areas and patches of woodland. A sizeable share of the land is built on. For a buyer, energy rating, systems and build quality matter most, along with the distance to schools and shops, which the report measures from the address.

Seismic hazard is low. All 147 municipalities in the province of Como are in zone 4, the lowest class, and in Limido the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.040 g.

Watercourses on this plain are few and small, but heavy rain can cause local flooding: the report reads the official maps for the address and, since the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, it also finds the building's plot.
