Comasina

Comasina is a residential quarter in northern Milan with apartment buildings and housing complexes spread across flat terrain. The area is structured by streets and green spaces while offering local shops and services for residents.

The quarter developed during an expansion phase of Milan in the 20th century as the city grew northward and built new housing for a growing population. This growth was part of a broader modernization of the northern districts.

The quarter reflects how residents live and move through residential areas with neighborhood gathering spaces where locals meet on streets and in squares. Daily life here shows typical patterns of a northern Italian city where apartment buildings sit close together and street-level activity shapes the community.

The area is well connected by metro line 3, which also goes directly to the city center and links to other neighborhoods. The flat terrain makes walking and cycling comfortable ways to get around.

The quarter is home to the northern terminus of metro line 3, making it a key transportation hub for the area. This endpoint connects the neighborhood to the wider Milan network and gives it a character as a transition point between downtown and the outskirts.
