Roncadelle, on Brescia's western edge by the motorway

Roncadelle borders Brescia on the western side of the city and is almost one of its suburbs. Between the town's houses, the ring road and the Brescia Ovest junction on the A4 motorway lie some of the largest shopping areas in the province, and little farmland is left. The share of built-up land is high: buildings, roads and car parks cover a large part of the municipality.

For people working in the city it is a practical choice. Brescia is minutes away, and flats and detached houses are newer than in the city centre and usually cheaper. The drawbacks are traffic, especially at weekends around the shopping centres, and noise near the junctions, so visit the property at different times, including a Saturday afternoon. Average declared incomes are marginally below the provincial average.

At the end of 2023 there were 9,296 residents, almost the same as in 2011 (up 0.3%). Foreign residents make up 13.2%, a high share. The average age is 44.9 against 45.4 for the province, and households have 2.32 members on average.

The province of Brescia is split between two seismic zones under the Civil Protection Department's classification: 52 municipalities are in zone 2 and 153 in zone 3, including Roncadelle, where expected ground acceleration is about 0.146 g. If you are buying in a block of flats from the 1960s or 1970s, or an industrial unit, ask whether the structure has been assessed or strengthened, and read the owners' meeting minutes to see what costs are coming.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality: the report finds the land parcel from the address and checks the official flood maps along the watercourses of the plain, as well as the distance to services, of which there are 98 here, from schools and pharmacies to shops and sports facilities.
