Welcome to our guide to the Milanese property market, with a detailed focus on one of the most dynamic and fast-growing areas in the southern belt of the city: Missaglia and Gratosoglio.
If you are considering buying a home, selling your property or simply looking for a rental in this area, having transparent and up-to-date information is essential for moving with confidence. In this article we analyse the official property market values based on the OMI database (Property Market Observatory) of the Italian Revenue Agency, for the second half of 2025.
Discovering the Missaglia - Gratosoglio area: connections and liveability
Set in the suburban belt of Milan, the area along the Via Missaglia axis and the Gratosoglio district offer a perfect blend of the calm typical of residential areas and the convenience of Milanese connections.
The strengths of this area include efficient transport: the historic tram 15 gives direct access to central Milan (Piazza Duomo) in a comfortable and sustainable way, while proximity to the M2 metro (Piazza Abbiategrasso stop) and to the ring roads makes journeys quick both towards the centre and out of the city.
Green spaces and amenities: districts rich in parks and playgrounds, perfect for families. The area also has schools, supermarkets, sports centres and significant healthcare facilities.
Proximity to university and hospital hubs: closeness to major institutions (such as Humanitas University and neighbouring hospitals) keeps demand for housing in this area consistently high.
Let us now look in detail at what the official data of the Italian Revenue Agency says about sales and lettings.

60 sqm one-bedroom flat in excellent condition. Applying the values for excellent condition (from €10.0 to €13.0/sqm), the estimated monthly rent will range between €600 (60 sqm × €10.0) and €780 (60 sqm × €13.0) a month.
80 sqm two-bedroom flat in normal condition. Using the rates for normal condition (from €6.5 to €9.9/sqm), the monthly rent will stand between €520 (80 sqm × €6.5) and €792 (80 sqm × €9.9) a month.
