Living in Tricesimo: the first hills north of Udine, where homes sell well and prices stand still

The centre stretches along the Pontebbana road; around it, on the first hills of the moraine amphitheatre (the regional landscape plan's name for them), lie the hamlets that OMI lists in its zones: Fraelacco, Ara Grande and Ara Piccola, Borgo Tami, Felettano, Leonacco. There are 4% more residents than in 2001; average age: 49.0.

• Who lives here: average taxable income €28,000 (median municipality €23,800); households in their own home in 2011: 80%.
• Services (OpenStreetMap): 2 supermarkets and 2 pharmacies, 2 primaries and a middle school; upper secondary schools are in Udine.
• The area: the hills above Udine; city or village? the comparison with Udine.

In OMI's «Friuli Collinare» area, 28 municipalities, only Tarcento sold more homes in 2025 (136); by market intensity Tricesimo ranks 3rd, with 2.7% of its homes changing hands. Quotations did not follow: from 2021 to 2026, first half against first half, the centre's mid-point shows -2.8% and the hamlets' did not move.

• Houses are valued at €950/m²–€1,300/m² in the centre, €800/m²–€1,200/m² in Fraelacco and the outskirts, €850/m²–€1,200/m² in the hamlets.
• With €200,000: 200 m² at OMI values. Paying for 100 m² at those values would take 3.6 years of a typical local income (the sum for every town).
• Letting it: the OMI rent is €4.0/m² a month, a paper gross yield of 4.8%. Tricesimo does not appear in CIPE's high housing pressure list, so regulated-rent leases here do not get the 10% flat tax.

• ILIA: for 2026 the council charges 0.98% on any home other than the main residence (resolution of 29 December 2025), as Udine does; 0.70% if it is the only «second home» registered with the Region (all the rates).
• Earthquakes: the regional classification places it in zone 2; the 1976 quake left an intensity of 7-8 (Mercalli) here. Half the residential buildings, 50% at the 2011 census, date from before 1971.
• Water: medium flood hazard touches 0.7% of buildings, far below the regional median (4.9%); high landslide hazard, not a single home.
• Climate and sun: 71 frosty nights, 37 days of 30 °C, 1,690 mm of rain a year (Udine 1,410 mm); on the December solstice the town hall gets 8 h 19 min of sun.
• Fibre: FTTH for 77.9% of households, exactly the regional median.

• Rail: Tricesimo-San Pelagio, 3 min from the town hall, has trains to Udine without changes; for Carinthia by train, change at Udine for the Mi.Co.Tra. (trains and airports).
• Car: 19 min to Udine, 9 min to the motorway at Udine Nord, 44 min to Trieste airport and 1 h 44 min to Klagenfurt.
• Hospital: Udine's Santa Maria della Misericordia, with the 24-hour emergency department, 16 min.
• Sea and snow: Sistiana 51 min, the Tarvisio ski area 1 h 3 min.
