Monza e Brianza Real Estate: Apartments and Villas North-East of Milan

The province centres on the city of Monza, known for the Villa Reale and its royal park and for the Autodromo Nazionale, home of the Italian Grand Prix. North of the city the Brianza is a wooded, hilly area of furniture makers and family villas. Rail links and the Milan-Lecco and Milan-Como roads put central Milan within roughly 20 to 40 minutes.

Buyers are Milan commuters wanting more space, families and some investors renting to professionals. Because the search is at provincial level, check the municipality in each listing.

Foreigners can buy in Italy, with reciprocity rules for some non-EU nationals. Registration tax on a second home is 9% of cadastral value, with a lower rate for a first home as a resident; notary fees are additional (verify with a notaio). Check the energy certificate (APE), cadastral compliance and any condominium debts before signing a compromesso.

See Italy, the buying guide for foreigners and mortgages.

The suggested links are not neighbours: Rome is a capital several hours south, Aosta is a mountain town in the north-west, and Campobasso is in Molise. They are useful as price comparisons only.
