The area taking in the Ippodromo, Caprilli and Monte Stella is one of the most charming and strategic residential parts of Milan. Set in the outer belt of the city, it stands out for an extraordinary balance between generous green spaces — first among them the celebrated Parco Monte Stella (known to Milanese as “la Montagnetta”) — and an unrivalled offering of international-level sports and recreational facilities.
Thanks to excellent connections, including the metro lines (M1 and M5), living here means enjoying calm, quiet and clean air without giving up the convenience of reaching central Milan in a few minutes.
For anyone wishing to buy, sell or rent a property in this splendid setting, relying on reliable data is essential. Below is a detailed analysis of the local property market, based on the official values provided by the Italian Revenue Agency (OMI database — Property Market Observatory) for the second half of 2025.
Buying: prices per square metre
If you are thinking of buying a home or a garage in the Ippodromo – Monte Stella area, the OMI values show a solid market with very competitive prices in relation to the quality of life the district offers.
Here are the benchmark values for purchase:
| Type | Sale €/sqm |
|---|---|
| Civil dwellingsExcellent condition | 4,400 – 5,500 |
| Civil dwellingsNormal condition | 3,300 – 4,300 |
| GaragesNormal condition | 1,800 – 2,400 |
Civil dwellings in normal condition are apartments in standard condition or ready to be personalised; excellent condition covers properties renovated to new, modern or recently built. Finding parking in Milan can be a challenge: buying a garage in this area remains a contained investment.
Renting: monthly rents
The rental market in this area is particularly dynamic, fuelled by families, young couples and professionals looking for a green, quiet oasis well connected to the rest of the metropolis.
The following table summarises the monthly rents per square metre set by the official observatory:
| Type | Rent €/sqm month |
|---|---|
| Civil dwellingsExcellent condition | 15.6 – 19.5 |
| Civil dwellingsNormal condition | 11.5 – 15.5 |
| GaragesNormal condition | 6.3 – 9 |
Practical examples of monthly rent calculation
To better understand the real impact of these figures on a monthly budget, here are two typical rental scenarios:
60 sqm apartment in excellent condition (e.g. a modern, renovated one-bedroom flat). Estimated minimum rent: 60 sqm × €15.6 = €936 a month; estimated maximum rent: 60 sqm × €19.5 = €1,170 a month. For a one-bedroom flat finished down to the last detail and ready to live in, the monthly cost will average between €936 and €1,170 (service charges excluded).
80 sqm apartment in normal condition (e.g. a spacious two-bedroom flat in standard condition). Estimated minimum rent: 80 sqm × €11.5 = €920 a month; estimated maximum rent: 80 sqm × €15.5 = €1,240 a month. A two-bedroom flat perfect for a family, well maintained but not recently renovated, calls for a rental budget of between €920 and €1,240 a month.
Why invest in the Ippodromo – Caprilli – Monte Stella area
The OMI data highlights three major competitive advantages for those choosing to invest in this quadrant of Milan:
Unbeatable value for money on purchase: with maximum purchase prices of €5,500/sqm for properties in excellent condition, the area offers distinctly more accessible values than other semi-central parts of Milan, alongside markedly better liveability and urban green space (such as Parco Monte Stella).
Solid and steady rental returns: thanks to rents reaching €19.5/sqm/month for apartments in excellent condition, owners can count on stable rental profitability. Rental demand in this area is always high thanks to the M1 and M5 metro lines.
A secure long-term investment: the constant demand for garages and the intrinsic appeal of a district rich in sports facilities and historic parks ensure that invested capital maintains and increases its value over time, sheltered from market fluctuations.
