The average cost of renting a one-room apartment in Kyiv was €615, according to the ranking of rental prices for housing in Europe.
The ten most expensive cities included Monaco (€6,500), London (€2,797), Zurich (€2,570), Reykjavik (€2,160), and Dublin (€1,997). These megacities remain inaccessible to most tenants, and the cost of rent is comparable to the monthly income of the average resident.
The most affordable housing among European capitals is offered by Skopje (€250) and Sarajevo (€271). In these cities, the rental market remains relatively stable and is determined by local incomes.
Kyiv is among the countries with relatively low rental costs — €615. This is lower than in Belgrade (€750), Warsaw (€880), and Prague (€922), but higher than in Tallinn (€600), Zagreb (€570), or Sofia (€550). Experts note that with the continuing military risk and population outflow, demand for rentals remains limited, which is holding back price growth.
The study is based on data from major European real estate portals and is updated every six months. The methodology takes into account the median cost of renting apartments in the center and on the outskirts of cities. The rating is widely used by investors and analysts to assess the investment attractiveness of housing markets and the level of rental affordability for the population.
