Isola

The Isola district lies north of Milan’s city center, between Porta Garibaldi, Porta Nuova and Maggiolina, and is today one of the most vibrant, modern and sought-after areas of the city.
Once a working-class and industrial neighborhood, Isola has undergone a radical transformation in recent years, becoming a unique urban hub where contemporary architecture, creativity, high-quality dining and design-oriented residences coexist in perfect harmony.
Its strategic position, at the foot of the Bosco Verticale and just steps from Piazza Gae Aulenti, makes it a highly attractive area for professionals, families and investors.

 

Living in Isola means embracing a young, dynamic, and international lifestyle in one of Milan’s most creative and rapidly evolving neighborhoods.
The area offers a rich selection of contemporary restaurants, creative bistros, live music venues, cocktail bars, independent boutiques, and distinctive concept stores.

The strong presence of coworking spaces, ateliers, creative studios, and startups fosters an innovative and forward-thinking environment.
Pedestrian-friendly streets, well connected by metro lines and cycling paths, ensure a comfortable, sustainable, and vibrant daily life, just steps away from Porta Nuova.

 

Isola’s atmosphere is eclectic, modern, and deeply rooted in its identity. Historic courtyards, Liberty-style buildings, renovated homes, and next-generation skyscrapers coexist in a distinctive urban landscape.

The district retains an authentic spirit shaped by artisan workshops and active local communities, set against the contemporary skyline of Porta Nuova.
In the evening, Isola comes alive with a refined and creative nightlife scene, featuring gourmet dining, live music venues, rooftop bars, and cultural spaces.

Isola uniquely blends traditional Milanese character, contemporary design, and urban energy, making it one of the most desirable neighborhoods to live in Milan.
