Milan is a metropolitan city of Italy, situated within the Lombardy region. It covers a flat terrain of over fifteen hundred square kilometres, sharing land borders with the Province of Varese, the Province of Monza and Brianza, the Province of Bergamo, the Province of Cremona, the Province of Lodi, the Province of Pavia, and the Province of Novara.
This metropolitan city is a expensive part of Italy, with property prices sitting well above the national average. Most of the housing stock is concentrated in the city of Milan itself, which is far larger and more expensive than any other municipality in the region. Outside the main city, smaller towns hold only tiny fractions of the local market. Among these outlying areas, Segrate and Arese are the dearer options, while places like Sesto San Giovanni and San Giuliano Milanese offer much cheaper alternatives where property costs a long way behind the regional average.
