Listing prices for apartments for rent continue to riseHernan Zenteno - La Nacion/Hernan Zenteno
Listed rents in the City of Buenos Aires continue to rise . Although the supply of properties on the market increased significantly after the law was repealed in December 2023, reaching almost 200%, resulting in more moderate monthly increases , in July the increase was 2% , according to the latest report from the real estate platform Zonaprop.
This figure represents a cumulative increase of 21.5% in 2025 , notably lower than the figure recorded in the same period in 2024, when the figure was 39%, but above inflation (17%, taking into account the projected inflation for July—a figure not yet known). This represents a real increase of 4.5% over the period. According to the platform, small apartments have seen the greatest price increases this year .
While, in a year-over-year comparison, between July 2023 and July 2024, rents increased by 163.7%. However, the following period, from July 2024 to July 2025, showed a smaller increase of 43.9%.
In concrete numbers, a studio apartment costs $571,653 per month, while a two-bedroom apartment in the City rents for $668,538 per month and a three-bedroom apartment for $896,504 per month.
However, one fact that worries tenants is that in high-demand neighborhoods like Palermo, Belgrano, and Recoleta , the average price of a two-bedroom apartment is already over $700,000 . Rental prices in these areas are around $737,902 in Palermo , $722,581 in Belgrano , and $717,812 in Colegiales .
In turn, when looking at increases over the last year, the areas of Buenos Aires City that saw the greatest increases were Lugano, Liniers, and Villa Devoto, with 65.8%, 61.6%, and 60%, respectively. Puerto Madero, meanwhile, had the lowest increase, at 22.2%, followed by Versalles (24.9%) and San Telmo (36.3%).
Thus, it currently takes 18.6 years of renting to recover the initial investment, 21.3% less than what was required a year ago.
In this sense, Lugano, Nueva Pompeya, and Parque Avellaneda are the best neighborhoods for investors seeking rental properties. In these areas, profitability is much higher than in other neighborhoods, with gross returns of 9.2%, 8.4%, and 7.8%, respectively.
Puerto Madero, on the other hand, is the neighborhood with the lowest profitability, at just 3.7%. It is followed by Palermo (4.2%) and Núñez (4.4%).
