Homes for sale in Buon Pastore and Sant’Agnese
Tree-lined avenues, period villas, parks and schools just minutes from the centre. It’s the area where Modena families move to and stay: once you live here, you rarely leave.
The area at a glance
Green space, amenities and quality of life
Buon Pastore and Sant’Agnese are the residential face of south Modena: wide streets, mature tree-lined avenues, and a building stock that mixes 1960s apartment blocks, small villas and period houses.
Parks close by
Parco Amendola and Parco della Repubblica are the area’s green lungs: daily walks, outdoor sport and space for children, all without needing the car.
Schools of every level
The density of schools is one of the main reasons families choose these neighbourhoods and stay in them long-term.
Tree-lined avenues and period villas
Some streets retain a residential character from another era, with private gardens and small villas that rarely come to market.
The centre within easy reach
From Buon Pastore, Centro Storico is just minutes away by bike: a quiet area to live in without giving up the city.
Stable values
Average area values sit around €2,350 per square metre: below Centro Storico, above the average for outlying areas. A neighbourhood that holds its price over time.
Steady demand
It’s one of the areas where new residential demand from families with children and young professionals is concentrated: sellers here start from a position of strength.
If you’re selling here
The setting is worth as much as the property
In this area, buyers aren’t just buying square metres: they’re buying the park downstairs, the school five hundred metres away, the tree-lined avenue. These are things that need to be told, not taken for granted.
It’s also an area with a lot of 1960s and 1970s building stock: energy rating and the condition of the systems make a real difference to the final price.
If you’re buying here
Look at the running costs, not just the price
In the area’s older condominiums, service charges and approved works can add significantly to the real cost of the home. Before making an offer, it’s worth reading the latest meeting minutes.
The best opportunities are often larger properties that need reorganising: demanding on paper, but with margins rarely found in the centre.

Frequently asked questions
Buying and selling in Buon Pastore
How much does a home in Buon Pastore or Sant’Agnese cost?
Average area values are around €2,350 per square metre, but the gap between a renovated property with new systems and one needing modernisation is very wide. Floor, orientation, the presence of a lift and service charges move the value significantly: for a reliable figure, a viewing is needed.
Is it a good area for families with children?
It’s probably the main reason the area is chosen. Schools of every level, parks such as Amendola and Parco della Repubblica, local shops and low-traffic streets make it convenient for families.
Are there still villas or detached houses for sale?
There are, but they come to market rarely and often sell quickly or without ever being advertised. If you’re looking for something specific in this area, let me know — you’ll hear about it as soon as it appears.
Is it better to buy here or in Centro Storico?
It depends what you’re looking for. Centro Storico has higher values and, currently, slower demand; Buon Pastore has lower prices, more green space, easier parking and livelier demand. For a family, this area is usually the best compromise.
