Practical examples of monthly rent calculation
To better understand the monthly cost of renting a home in this area, here are two concrete calculation examples:
60 sqm apartment (civil dwelling in excellent condition). Minimum rent: 60 sqm × €10.1/sqm = €606 a month; maximum rent: 60 sqm × €12.0/sqm = €720 a month. The estimated rent for a fully renovated 60 sqm one-bedroom flat ranges between €606 and €720 a month.
80 sqm apartment (civil dwelling in normal condition). Minimum rent: 80 sqm × €7.6/sqm = €608 a month; maximum rent: 80 sqm × €10.0/sqm = €800 a month. For an 80 sqm two-bedroom flat in standard condition, the monthly rent ranges from €608 to €800.
Why invest in the Cascina Gatti Pelucca area
On the basis of the OMI data for the second half of 2025, three key reasons make this area an advantageous choice for buying or letting:
Highly competitive value for money: compared with the central areas of Sesto San Giovanni and the neighbouring districts of Milan, values (from €1,950/sqm to €3,100/sqm for purchase) give access to more generous floor areas at distinctly more contained cost.
Stable returns from the rental market: with rents reaching €12/sqm/month for properties in excellent condition, investors can count on an attractive rental return and constant demand from those seeking quiet residential homes.
Scope for appreciation through renovation: the value gap between properties in normal and excellent condition (up to €600/sqm more) rewards those who invest in upgrading, ensuring immediate appreciation of the property.
