Skyrocketing prices: What is the actual cost of renting an apartment in Kyiv?
The rental prices for apartments in Kyiv have increased on average by at least 25-30% compared to spring prices. In certain areas of the capital, the cost of rental housing has surged by several thousand hryvnias, and the cheapest options are quickly disappearing from property search websites.
Experts note that the most significant price hikes are observed in the rental market for two-bedroom apartments. More details on the state of the real estate market in Kyiv can be found on the official LUN website.
The rise in property prices amid wartime conditions is a phenomenon with several underlying reasons. The ample opportunities for self-realization and the relative safety of Kyiv attract Ukrainians from more troubled regions, which drives up rental costs.
Additionally, the impact of halted or delayed construction of new buildings is also reflected in the prices.
Overall, the rental price of an apartment in the capital depends on the neighborhood, the presence of renovations, the floor, environmental conditions, infrastructure, the state of the building itself, and its comfort level.
For instance, the average cost of renting a 1-bedroom apartment in the capital is 17,000 hryvnias. Over the past six months, the price for renting a one-bedroom apartment in the capital has increased by 21%.
