Price Map: From the Center to the Outskirts
In the central districts of Kyiv, such as Pechersk, the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in August 2025 reaches about 35,900 UAH per month. Housing in the Shevchenkivskyi district is somewhat cheaper—around 28,000 UAH, while in the Podilskyi district, it is approximately 21,000 UAH. High prices are explained by the demand for central infrastructure, proximity to offices, establishments, and convenient transport links.
At the same time, on the outskirts of Kyiv and in the suburbs, one can find offers at significantly lower prices: from 10,000 to 15,000 UAH per month. The cheapest options are available in the Desnyanskyi district (around 10,000 UAH), Brovary (13,000 UAH), Sviatoshynskyi (14,800 UAH), Vyshneve (14,500 UAH), Irpin and Bucha (15,000 UAH each), as well as in Sofiivska Borshchahivka (16,500 UAH).
The Impact of Apartment Condition and Building Type on Cost
The rental price is determined not only by the location but also by the condition of the housing and the availability of furniture and household appliances. According to Kyiv residents, lower-priced apartments often come with a basic set of furniture or modest renovations. Even within central districts, cheaper options can be found if one is willing to accept a smaller area or simpler condition of the housing.
“I looked – the average price is 30,000. I live with my parents, but I plan to start looking for an apartment right now. Prices are very high now.”
Respondents note that the compromise between price and comfort often lies in choosing districts with moderate costs, such as Holosiivskyi (22,300 UAH), Solomianskyi, and Darnytskyi (around 18,000 UAH). It is particularly challenging for young couples, students, and those who are just planning to move to find housing at an acceptable price.
As for two-bedroom apartments, prices start from 20,000 UAH in good districts, while in remote areas, options can be found for 15,000 UAH. The year of construction, availability of modern infrastructure, parking, elevators, and insulation also play an important role.
Some residents mention extremely low offers: “The cheapest we saw with owners was 4,000 per month. A one-bedroom apartment is at least 7,000, but that’s, for example, on the Left Bank.” However, such options often come with significant compromises regarding comfort and the condition of the housing.
Overall, renters note that for an average budget, it is important to consider not only the price but also the quality of renovations and the furnishings of the apartment, as additional furniture or appliances often have to be purchased or moved independently. For many residents, finding a compromise is a necessity: some live with their parents, while others choose remote areas to stay within budget.
