Cost & housing
Turin is one of the best-value big cities in Italy, a grand former royal capital where rents stay reasonable and buying is still within reach for many. Prices are rising, but from an affordable base.
Renting
These are for a decent, functional apartment with a real kitchen and a lift. Cheaper exists if you compromise on condition or location.

Buying
If you’re looking to purchase:
Prices are climbing fast, up about 8.4% across the city year on year, one of the steeper rises in northern Italy. But Turin started low, so it’s still among the more affordable major cities to buy in.

Other monthly costs
Utilities are a national market in Italy, so that range holds roughly anywhere. Turin’s Alpine-edge winters run cold, though, so heating works harder here than in the south.

Our take
Turin is the quiet value play of northern Italy. You get a real city, royal palaces, arcaded boulevards, the Egyptian Museum, at prices Milan and Bologna left behind years ago. If you’re renting, your money goes remarkably far here. If you’re buying, you’re getting in while it’s still climbing, not after. Turin is being discovered, not yet expensive.
One quality-of-life fact few relocation guides mention: Turin has over 18 kilometres of porticoed walkways in and around the centre, built when it was a royal capital so the Savoy court could cross the city sheltered from sun, rain, and snow. A huge amount of central daily life, the walk to a café or the market, happens under cover, which for a wet, cold-winter city is worth more than it sounds.
Prices move with the market, so always check live listings. See current rentals on Idealista › | See prices on Immobiliare ›
