Introduction
The Rondò - Marelli - Stazione area is the beating, strategic heart of the municipality of Sesto San Giovanni, in the province of Milan. Thanks to the M1 metro stations (Sesto Rondò and Sesto Marelli) and the railway station, this central district offers fast connections with the centre of Milan and with the whole hinterland. The area stands out for its wealth of urban services, shops, parks and proximity to university campuses, making it an ideal choice for families, workers and students alike.
The official data of the OMI database of the Italian Revenue Agency for the second half of 2025 gives a clear and up-to-date picture of market values for buying and renting property in this area.

Prices per square metre for buying residential property in the most central part of Sesto San Giovanni vary according to the features and state of repair of the property:

Practical examples of monthly rent calculation
To assess the real monthly cost of renting in this area, here are two practical simulations:
60 sqm apartment (civil dwelling in excellent condition). Minimum rent: 60 sqm × €12.1/sqm = €726 a month; maximum rent: 60 sqm × €14.0/sqm = €840 a month. The estimated rent for a one- or two-bedroom flat in perfect condition ranges between €726 and €840 a month.
80 sqm apartment (civil dwelling in normal condition). Minimum rent: 80 sqm × €8.5/sqm = €680 a month; maximum rent: 80 sqm × €12.0/sqm = €960 a month. For an 80 sqm apartment in standard condition, the rent ranges between €680 and €960 a month.
Why invest in the Rondò Marelli Stazione area
Analysing the OMI data for the second half of 2025, three main reasons emerge as to why investing or buying in this area is a winning choice:
High rental demand and excellent returns: the presence of the M1 metro and the rail links ensures constant rental demand, with rents of up to €14/sqm/month that assure investors of stable returns.
Affordability compared with Milan: compared with prices in neighbouring Milan, the Rondò Marelli Stazione area offers competitive values (from €2,300/sqm to €3,800/sqm for civil dwellings), making it possible to buy generously sized properties at contained cost.
Appreciation over time through renovation: the price gap between normal and excellent condition rewards those who choose to upgrade properties, ensuring excellent capital appreciation both on resale and in the rental market.
