Spinea, the residential town west of Mestre

Spinea grew up as a residential area for Mestre. Until the mid-twentieth century it was a small country village; then, as Porto Marghera and the Venetian mainland developed, it filled up with low-rise blocks and houses for the families who worked there. Today it runs into Mestre with no visible break on one side and borders Mirano on the other, on a plain almost at sea level.

People looking for a home in Spinea usually work in Mestre, Venice or Padua and want more space and a bit of private garden for less than city prices. The market consists of blocks from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, terraced houses and detached homes, with few old properties. Most of the land is built over, and there are far fewer bars and restaurants per resident than in the rest of the province: for an evening out people go to Mestre.

There were 27,676 residents in 2023, up 3.0% on 2011. The estimated average age of 47.4 is in line with the province (47.6), over-65s make up 26.3% and foreign residents 11.4%. Average incomes are slightly above the provincial figure.

All 44 municipalities in the metropolitan area of Venice are in seismic zone 3, and in Spinea the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.089 g. For a flat in a forty-year-old block, the energy rating, service charges and any work already approved by the residents' meeting matter more, given the cold, damp winters.

Water is the issue to watch. The network of ditches and drainage channels is dense and some areas flood in heavy storms. The report checks the flood hazard maps for the address; for ground floors and basement rooms it is also worth asking whether water has ever come in.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Spinea is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. All 44 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.089 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.

How built-up it is

Radon and contaminated sites

Spinea is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Veneto in 2025. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list 4 contaminated sites, or sites still under investigation, in Spinea, and one more has been cleaned up or closed. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Spinea: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 82 inhabited census areas in Spinea. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 67 or more.
