A popular neighborhood to look at apartments for rent in Milan is Navigli. Navigli is a top choice for many due to its picturesque buildings with hidden courtyards. While not a large city geographically, choosing the neighborhood to look at apartments for rent in Milan is important. Here are a few pros and cons to consider.
The Navigli area is a popular choice for young people looking at apartments for rent in Milan. It boasts a vibrant nightlife with many eateries and bars situated on the water of the canals. It is a popular area for street markets. Saturday is the weekly "Senegal" market that is known for its selection of African, Indian and South American crafts in addition to fruits, vegetables, housewares and clothing. The last Sunday of every month is the Antique Market with vendors selling furniture, housewares, jewelry and more. Many of the Antique Market vendors have shops in the area.
Many buildings in Navigli are "ringhiera" style – overlooking an inner courtyard with open balconies that connect the entrances to each apartment, adding to the old-style flavor of the neighborhood.
Of course, no neighborhood is perfect. A common complaint in summer is about the mosquitoes drawn by the still water of the canals. Some years are better than others, but window screens are a must. Noise is another point of contention for residents, especially in warm weather and on weekends and holidays. Parking isn't easy. Navigating crowded narrow streets is complicated by dead ends and one way avenues.
