The southern part of Milan, extending along Via Ortles, Via Spadolini and Via Bazzi, stands confirmed as one of the most dynamic and fast-changing areas of the city. Marked by a happy combination of green spaces (such as the nearby Parco Ravizza), modern residential developments and excellent connections with the centre, this area attracts a varied clientele ranging from young professionals to university students, given also its strategic proximity to Bocconi University.
If you are considering buying or renting a home in this part of Milan, it is essential to work from precise, certified data. In this article we analyse in detail the values for the second half of 2025, taken directly from the official data of the OMI database of the Italian Revenue Agency, the reference source for the Italian property market.
Buying: how much does a home or garage cost?
The sales market in the Ortles-Spadolini-Bazzi area shows extremely attractive prices, especially when compared with the averages for the Milanese semi-centre. The strong drive towards regeneration (led by neighbouring projects such as the Symbiosis district and the Porta Romana rail yard) makes buying in this area an excellent opportunity for appreciation over time.
Here are the sale values per square metre for the main property types:
| Type | Sale €/sqm |
|---|---|
| Civil dwellingsExcellent condition | 4,300 – 5,600 |
| Civil dwellingsNormal condition | 3,300 – 4,200 |
| GaragesNormal condition | 1,600 – 2,400 |
The excellent-condition band takes in recently built or fully renovated properties, with modern comforts and high energy efficiency; the normal-condition band offers ideal solutions for those looking for apartments ready to use or needing only minor personalisation. A garage is an essential complementary investment in Milan, where on-street parking is increasingly limited.
Renting: monthly rents
Rental demand in this area is consistently sustained by the presence of universities and business hubs. Below we present a summary table of monthly rents expressed in euros per square metre a month (€/sqm/month) to guide you in choosing your next rental or in calculating the income from your property.
| Type | Rent €/sqm month |
|---|---|
| Civil dwellingsExcellent condition | 15 – 22.5 |
| Civil dwellingsNormal condition | 10.5 – 14.9 |
| GaragesNormal condition | 6 – 11 |
Practical Examples of Monthly Rent Calculation
To make this data even more concrete and closer to the needs of private individuals, here are two practical calculations based on the values in the table:
60 sqm one-bedroom flat in excellent condition (e.g. a modern or recently renovated apartment). Estimated minimum rent: 60 sqm × €15.0 = €900 a month; estimated maximum rent: 60 sqm × €22.5 = €1,350 a month. What to expect: an apartment ready to live in in this band will generally sit between €900 and €1,350 a month (service charges excluded).
80 sqm two-bedroom flat in normal condition (e.g. an apartment in good general order). Estimated minimum rent: 80 sqm × €10.5 = €840 a month; estimated maximum rent: 80 sqm × €14.9 = €1,192 a month. What to expect: for a medium-sized apartment ideal for a family or for sharing between students, the monthly outlay will range roughly between €840 and €1,192.
Why invest in the Ortles - Spadolini - Bazzi area
An analysis of the official OMI data highlights three key reasons why this area is a strategic choice both for those looking for a home to live in and for those seeking a profitable investment:
Competitive rental returns (high yield): rents reaching up to €22.5/sqm/month for apartments in excellent condition offer an excellent ratio to the purchase cost (starting from €4,300/sqm for the same state of repair). This ensures a very high potential gross annual return for owners.
Regeneration and future appreciation: the area benefits directly from the major urban regeneration projects in southern Milan (such as the nearby Porta Romana rail yard). Buying today at current prices means securing a property set to gain significant commercial value in the coming years.
A solid, continuous tenant base: the strategic proximity of outstanding academic institutions (Bocconi) and modern business centres gives owners a steady flow of potential referenced tenants (students, researchers and young managers), minimising the risk of vacancy.
