Sant'Antonio Abate, on the plain below the Lattari mountains
Inland from Castellammare di Stabia, at the foot of the Lattari mountains, lies the plain of Sant'Antonio Abate, close to the border with the province of Salerno. The countryside is still intensively farmed, with greenhouses and vegetable plots, and the area belongs to the belt of farming and tomato canning that stretches towards the Agro Nocerino; between the fields, though, houses now stand close together.
Buyers mostly find detached houses on several floors, often home to more than one generation of the same family, as well as small apartment blocks and recent residential complexes. Much of the land is built up and streets are often narrow and busy. A car is almost essential: stations, motorway junctions and the port are all in neighbouring towns.
It is a young municipality with large households: 2.83 people on average, an estimated average age of 41.6 and over-65s at 17.5%, fewer even than in the young province of Naples. At the end of 2023 there were 18,963 residents, down 3.0% since 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office, and foreign nationals made up 3.3%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
In the province of Naples, 76 municipalities are in seismic zone 2 and 16 in zone 3 of the Civil Protection Department's classification. Sant'Antonio Abate is in zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.120 g. Many houses have been extended or had floors added over the years, so before buying check that every floor is covered by building permits and registered with the land registry, and that the structure was designed to carry the extra load.
The drainage channels on the plain collect water running down from the Lattari mountains, and some areas can flood in the heaviest storms. The report finds the land parcel on the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps and checks the official flood maps at that spot.
