Life on the other side of the tracks isn’t always bad...
Pigneto, located east of the city centre and north of the train tracks, used to be a working-class area known for being a bit rough. After undergoing massive changes, it’s now one of the hippest neighbourhoods in Rome and home to an eclectic crowd.
One of the biggest universities in Rome, the Sapienza University of Rome is a few stops away by train, so lots of students live in this area.
This up-and-coming area is slowly getting more expensive, but it’s still possible to find an affordable apartment. Sharing with other students will keep costs down and give you more pocket change for all the hip bars and cafes.
