# Up to 36,000 hryvnias for a 1-room apartment: how much rent costs in Kyiv and where it is cheapest

## 🎯 Key Points

- The average cost of renting a 1-room apartment in Kyiv is 17,000 hryvnias.
- Pecherskyi district is the most expensive (36,100 UAH/month), while Desnianskyi shows a 10% price drop.
- The difference between the most expensive and cheapest districts reaches 27,100 hryvnias.
- The number of rental ads in the capital has increased by 66% over recent months.

The situation in the capital's real estate market continues to demonstrate divergent trends. As of autumn 2026, the average cost of renting one-room apartments in Kyiv is about 17,000 hryvnias per month. This figure shows a slight decrease of 2% compared to the previous six months, but the overall picture hides a huge gap between prices in the central and peripheral districts of the city.

### Regional differentiation and price leaders

Traditionally, Pecherskyi district remains the most expensive area for renting housing, where the median price for a one-room apartment reaches an impressive 36,100 hryvnias per month, showing an annual growth of 4%. Shevchenkivskyi district ranks second with an average cost of 22,500 hryvnias (a 7% increase over the year), and Holosiivskyi district closes the top three, where similar housing will cost 21,000 hryvnias per month with an annual growth of 5%.

At the same time, Podilskyi district demonstrated one of the steepest price jumps among all capital locations — the average rental cost here increased immediately by 18% and reached 20,000 hryvnias per month. The overall difference between the most expensive (Pechersk) and the most affordable housing in the capital currently stands at a colossal 27,100 hryvnias.

### Contradictory data

Analyzing current trends in the Kyiv real estate market, experts note certain discrepancies in various analytical cuts and reports from specialized publications. On the one hand, data aggregators and analytics from major platforms such as ЛУН record an overall increase in the number of rental offers (by 66% over the past two months), indicating a certain stabilization of supply. On the other hand, reports periodically appear in the media about both a sharp drop in prices in certain segments and a local increase of 5-18% depending on the district.

In addition, while the secondary housing market shows stagnation or even a drop in prices for multi-room apartments (two- and three-room apartments fell in price by 6% and 3% respectively), the segment of budget one-room apartments on the outskirts behaves differently. For example, in Desnianskyi district, rent even fell by 10% over the year, and in Darnytskyi and Dniprovskyi districts, prices remained at the same level, creating the illusion of cheaper housing, while the center continues to break price records.

### Market impact and future prospects

Experts associate this dynamics with the redistribution of demand and internal migration of the population. Against the background of declining housing offers in the western regions of Ukraine, Kyiv retains the status of the main economic center attracting tenants. Nevertheless, the growth of supply in the capital is gradually beginning to restrain further uncontrolled price growth, forcing landlords to be more flexible in negotiations with potential tenants.
