Longone al Segrino, the small lake above Erba

Lake Segrino is a long, narrow stretch of water hemmed in by the woods of the Triangolo Lariano, the hilly wedge of land between the two arms of Lake Como. Longone al Segrino looks onto it from the Erba side, at around 370 metres, among hills and meadows with Lake Como not far away. The cycle and footpath round the lake is busy at weekends.

For commuters, the town to know is Erba, with its services and trains to Milan, while Como and Lecco are a drive away. For everyday journeys most people use a car. Homes are mostly detached houses and small blocks of flats, with a few older stone clusters. On sloping plots, check retaining walls, winter access and drainage.

Longone is growing. At the end of 2023 it had 1,952 residents according to Istat, the national statistics office, up 9.7% on 2011. The population is younger than the Como average: the average age is 45.0 against 46.3, and over-65s are 21.5% against 24.1% in the province. Declared incomes are above the provincial average. Foreign residents make up 2.9%.

The village is in seismic zone 4, the lowest hazard level, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.048 g. Insulation and heating matter more than earthquakes here: it is in climate zone E, with cold, damp winters near the water.

Cadastral maps are published by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate). For houses near the shore, the report checks the official flood maps for the exact address.
