What is the cost of renting an apartment in Kyiv, and which area offers the most affordable housing options?
The rental prices for apartments in Kyiv, despite drone and missile attacks, remain at a relatively high level. Realtors note that the cost of rental housing in the capital has increased on average by at least 25-30% compared to spring prices.
In certain areas of the capital, rental prices have surged by several thousand hryvnias, and the cheapest options quickly disappear from housing search websites. The most significant price increase is observed for two-bedroom apartments. More details about the real estate market in Kyiv can be found on the official LUN website.
The rise in property prices amid war is a phenomenon with several underlying causes. For instance, the greater opportunities for self-realization and the relative safety of Kyiv attract Ukrainians from more troubled regions, driving up rental costs.
Additionally, the halt or delay in the construction of new buildings affects prices, leading to a limited supply in the market.
Overall, the rental price of an apartment in the capital depends on the district, the presence of renovations, the floor, the environmental situation, infrastructure, the condition of the building itself, and its level of comfort.
Thus, the average rental cost of a one-bedroom apartment in the capital is 16-17 thousand hryvnias. Over the past six months, the price for a one-bedroom apartment in the capital has increased by 10%.
5 The most expensive to rent is a one-bedroom apartment located in the Pechersk (34,200 hryvnias), Shevchenkivskyi (22,900 hryvnias), and Holosiivskyi (18,000 hryvnias) districts of Kyiv.
The most affordable one-bedroom apartments can be found in the Dnipro (13,900 hryvnias), Sviatoshynskyi (13,000 hryvnias), and Desnyanskyi (9,000 hryvnias) districts of the capital.
