What is the cost of renting an apartment in Kyiv, and which neighborhoods offer affordable housing options?
The rental prices for apartments in Kyiv, despite drone and rocket attacks, remain at a relatively high level. Realtors note that the cost of rental housing in the capital has increased by an average of 25-35% over the course of 2024.
In some districts 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 hikes are observed for two-bedroom apartments. More details about the real estate market in Kyiv are discussed on the official LUN website.
The rise in property prices during wartime is a phenomenon with several causes. The ample opportunities for self-realization and the relative safety of Kyiv attract Ukrainians from more troubled regions, driving up rental costs.
Overall, the price of renting 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 comfort level.
The average cost of renting a one-bedroom apartment in the capital is 17,000 hryvnias. Over the past year, the price of renting a studio in the capital has increased by 35%.
The most expensive to rent a one-bedroom apartment is located in the Pechersk (34,400 hryvnias), Shevchenkivskyi (23,000 hryvnias), and Holosiivskyi (18,000 hryvnias) districts of Kyiv.
The most affordable one-bedroom apartments for rent can be found in the Dnipro (13,500 hryvnias), Sviatoshynskyi (13,000 hryvnias), and Desnianskyi (9,000 hryvnias) districts of the capital.
