The most sought-after areas of Monza Brianza

Bright, empty open-plan kitchen and dining area with light wood flooring, white walls, large windows, modern appliances, and a staircase.

Monza is one of the most appreciated provincial capitals in Lombardy, known for its beauty, practicality, and quality of life. It’s an ideal place to live – but some areas are more in demand than others. Let’s find out which ones.

If you’re thinking of selling your home – whether through an agency or independently – in one of the beautiful corners of Monza and Brianza, consider yourself lucky: property demand has increased, especially since last year, when there was a 0.3% drop in the average value of homes in the area. This is great news for those planning a move or a major life change, and for those hoping to sell quickly. Here's a look at the most in-demand cities and areas in the real estate market.

House for sale in Monza: The top neighborhoods

At the top of the list is, naturally, Monza – a city rich in architectural, cultural, and sporting interest. For first-time home buyers, key advantages include the peacefulness of the standout neighborhoods – San Biagio, San Gerardo, and the Historic Center – and the proximity to the train station, which makes it attractive for commuters.

The Park area also offers a strong real estate market for those wanting to buy in Monza. Highly sought-after are villas surrounded by greenery or located within private parks, as well as luxury apartments offering comfort, elegance, and terraces with stunning city views.

Monticello Brianza: The heart of Brianza

Though lesser-known, Monticello Brianza – situated in the low hilly area of Brianza – is well known among those who appreciate peace, eye-catching villas, and a lifestyle immersed in nature’s changing colors. Most requested areas? Definitely those with views of the mountains, from the Grigna to Monte Rosa. It's ideal for those looking for a healthy lifestyle but still needing to quickly access major cities like Milan, Monza, or the Lakes of Como and Lecco.

Agrate Brianza: A worker’s paradise

In 2009, Agrate Brianza officially moved from the Province of Milan to that of Monza Brianza – a change that didn’t affect the many families and professionals keen to buy in a quiet yet well-connected area, with quick access to Milan, Monza, and Bergamo. Highly sought-after are properties in the city center and near landmarks like Villa Trivulzio and Aldo Moro Park.

Arcore: Affordable luxury

If even Silvio Berlusconi chose Arcore as the location of his magnificent residence, there must be a good reason. It’s here that you’ll find the beautiful Villa Giulini-Casati-Stampa, now known as Villa San Martino, which has been the Berlusconi family residence since 1974. But Arcore also offers art, entertainment, and great food. Notable events include the Arcore Street Festival, Cioccoarcore (chocolate fair), and the Palio dei Rioni, which attract crowds every year.

The most in-demand areas? Definitely the historic center, with its prestigious apartments, as well as the suburban areas known for beautiful villas available throughout Monza and Brianza.
