In a period in which investing “in the brick” is generally a profitable choice, there are Italian cities where it is more convenient to buy a house to live in a stable way. Among these is Padua, where you can find a wide range of solutions suitable for every housing need. In fact, there is an important offer of prestigious properties at much lower prices than in the past (thanks to the pandemic that has characterized the last two years).
Padua is one of the provincial capitals of the Veneto region. It is an attractive city of art for tourists but also very dynamic for business and commerce. If for various reasons (personal or professional) you have decided to buy a property here and then move permanently, know that the quality of life in this Venetian city is quite high.
Before deciding to purchase a property, it is necessary to know the city well, starting from the individual neighborhoods from which it is formed. On the basis of the individual areas, the selling prices of the properties will depend, even those of value and luxury.
The Historic Center
Those who arrive in Padua by chance or visit them as a tourist are pleasantly dazzled by the beauty of the historic center. In practice, the city is enclosed within the walls, built in the sixteenth century: this characteristic, common to many cities of medieval origin, certainly gives it an extra touch of charm. Inside the historic center are the most beautiful and important squares of Padua, such as Piazza dei Signori and that of the Herbs and Fruit.
Due to its favorable position, the historic center is particularly sought after by those who want a life on a human scale, being able to easily reach any destination without particular problems. Property prices in the historic center of Padua are quite high, but they are justified by the high value they possess, both from a historical and monumental point of view, as well as from an economic point of view.
The East District
This area of the city, also called Brenta-Venice, Forcellini-Camin, is crossed by large water channels. It is the largest district of Padua, and is particularly rich in commercial infrastructures and productive settlements. Despite the presence of large commercial activities and production plants, the East district is also full of large parks that act as real "green lungs" such as that of Roncaiette and Iris. Property prices in this neighborhood are certainly more affordable than in the historic center, even the most valuable and falling into the "luxury" category.
The North Quarter
The districts of Arcella, San Bellino, San Carlo and Pontevigodarzere are included within this extensive district. This area of the city has undergone a progressive and rapid expansion since the second post-war period, assuming the numbers and contours of a real autonomous town. The area called "Arcella", however, is the least recommended for the possible purchase of a property, as it is too close to the station. Due to the fairly low prices and the varied supply of houses, the Northern District is populated with university students and young workers. The neighborhood is well connected by public transport and is well served.
The West District
The district also called Brentella-Valsugana is located about 4 kilometers from the city center. Since the 2000s this area has undergone strong changes and residential impulses, which have amply compensated for the distance from the historic center. Road connections with the city are very fast and effective. Buying a property here can be an excellent idea if you want a more peaceful life away from the traffic and chaos of the city.
The South-West District
This area is located on the border with the municipalities of Abano Terme and Albignasego. It is a residential area of great value and also historical interest (here is in fact Villa Giusti del Giardino, where the armistice between Italy, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany was signed on 4 November 1918, which put an end to the first war. world). The South-West district is known by most as that of the "Venetian villas", scattered along the territory and rich in luxuriant greenery. In this area there is also the "Gino Allegri" civil airport.
The South East District
It is the ideal neighborhood for those who want to live in peace but without sacrificing comfort and services. It is also called S. Croce-S. Osvaldo, Bassanello-Voltabarozzo. This area of the city has rather dated origins, so much so that the Paduan writer Piero Sanavìo spoke about it. Buying a property in this Paduan neighborhood can be a good investment.
