Housing and neighbourhoods in Turin
A broad market, less tight than Milan's, with much supply in 1960s–70s buildings. The centre and Crocetta are the dearest; San Salvario and Vanchiglia the student districts; Barriera di Milano and Mirafiori the cheapest. Social housing through ATC Piemonte Centrale; student residences through EDISU.

The market
Supply is broad and the housing stock, largely built for industrial workers between the 1950s and 1970s, is often dated: check the energy class and the cost of central heating. Short-term rental pressure is concentrated in the centre and San Salvario, far less than in Venice or Milan. The most common contract for students and young workers is the transitional or the agreed-rent one (3+2), which in Turin benefits from local agreements between landlords and tenants with controlled rents and IMU discounts for the owner.
The metro is a simple criterion for choosing: line 1 crosses the city from Collegno (Fermi) to Bengasi via Porta Susa, Porta Nuova and Lingotto, and the districts along it have gained value in recent years.

Social housing and students
Public housing is managed by ATC del Piemonte Centrale (the territorial housing agency), with municipal calls for allocations and waiting lists based on ISEE income and residence. The municipality also issues calls for rent support and runs the Lo.C.A.Re. agency, which matches landlords with tenants in difficulty.
For students, EDISU Piemonte opens an annual call for beds in its residences (several in the city, from Borgo Dora to Lingotto) and offers a guest-house service for short stays; both universities have housing offices that publish vetted private listings.
