Segrate, between Linate, Milano 2 and the Idroscalo
Much of Linate airport lies within Segrate, which borders the eastern side of Milan. The rest of the municipality is a set of districts born at different times: the old centre, Redecesio, Lavanderie, Rovagnasco, San Felice and above all Milano 2, the residential estate built in the 1970s around a small lake, with footpaths kept apart from the roads. On the boundary is the Idroscalo, a large artificial basin used for sport and leisure, and Segrate is also home to the Mondadori headquarters designed by Oscar Niemeyer.
For buyers, the differences between districts are large, prices included. Milano 2 and San Felice are green estates with their own services and high service charges; areas closer to Linate and the main roads suffer from aircraft and traffic noise, which you should judge on the spot. Timetable data show 125 stops in the municipality, served by 13 bus lines and 2 rail lines, and the report measures the distance to the nearest one for each address.
Segrate is growing: Istat, the national statistics office, counts 37,051 residents in 2023, up 10.5% on 2011, or 3,532 more people. The average age is 45.9, close to the 45.6 of the metropolitan area, with over-65s at 24.3% and foreign residents at 10.9%. Declared incomes are well above the provincial average.
In the province of Milan, 60 municipalities are in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection scale and 73 in zone 4. Segrate is in zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.056 g, a low hazard; in blocks of flats the energy rating and upkeep matter more. For flood hazard, with irrigation channels and canals around, and for the plot on the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps, the report starts from the address.
