According to a study made by Corriere della Sera, Viale Luigi Majno is one of the most expensive residential areas of Milan, reaching up to €20,000 per square meter in some buildings.
Viale Luigi Majno is located in the eastern part of Milan's Cerchia dei bastioni (the area of the city which was surrounded by the Spanish walls built in 1549 by Ferrante I Gonzaga and demolished between the 19th and 20th century).
Although Viale Majno is only about 550 meters long, it is connected to West by (from North) Via Borghetto, Via Giuseppe Baretti, Via Gioacchino Rossini, Via Giuseppe e Francesco Carlo Maggiolini and it is connected to East (to the parallel street Viale Piave) by (from North) Via Giovanni Morelli, Via Lamberto De Bernardi and Via Ippolito Pindemonte.
Since Viale Luigi Majno is located in a densely populated residential area, its buildings are between 25 and 35 meters high, and have 4 (in the most ancient) to 10 storeys.
Viale Majno, as other areas in the city of Milan, is rich of modern buildings (built after the allied bombing during the Second World War) and some ancient ones (some of which were edified in the 15th century).
