What are typical rents in Italy?
We asked expats and digital nomads in Italy what typical rental prices are in Italy. They commented...
"Typical rents in Milan vary significantly depending on the neighborhood and type of accommodation. In central areas such as Brera, Navigli, and Porta Romana, rents are higher, often exceeding 1,500 euros per month for a one-bedroom apartment. In more affordable neighborhoods like Lambrate or Bovisa, you can find one-bedroom apartments for around 800 euros to 1,200 euros per month. Larger apartments and those with modern amenities or located in prestigious buildings can command even higher prices. It's essential to consider the trade-off between proximity to the city center and rental costs when choosing a place to live," wrote Brian Viola from Italian For A While.
