Buying a garage is an option to consider as an alternative to an apartment, with lower cost, low maintenance and profitability for its rental.

In a context where rents are rising faster than inflation, many are wondering what the average apartment price is across the country.
Indeed, looking at residential apartments, the latest Zonaprop figures show that they increased by 2.9% in May 2025 in Buenos Aires , while inflation for that month was 1.5%. The same is true in the western and southern GBA, where the average rental price for an apartment rose by 3.1% in May. This phenomenon is also repeated in the northern zone (where rental prices rose above inflation), as they saw a 3.9% increase in May.
However, the real estate market isn't limited to residential properties. In an increasingly connected world, where cars and motorcycles are used for transportation, there's a growing demand for spaces to safely store transportation. In this context, many people are wondering about the rental prices for parking garages.

How much does it cost to rent a garage in Rosario?
If the analysis focuses on the city of Rosario, the prices are around the following figures: Zonaprop offers a 12 m² covered garage, 4 years old, at 100 Luis Cándido Carballo Street, in the Puerto Norte area, for $80,000; at 1600 Brown Street, a covered garage, 5 years old, 14 m², can be found for $80,000, plus expenses of $34,000; in Pichincha, at 100 Lagos Street, a property of this type, brand new, 15 m², is shown for $60,000.
Now, if you look at the rental prices for garages advertised in Buenos Aires, they range between $80,000 and $150,000 per month. In this regard, Gonzalo Painceira of Toribio Achával points out that " the annual return on renting a garage ranges between 4% and 5% ."
When analyzing the price of a garage, it's important to keep in mind that the location will strongly determine its value . This can be understood in two ways: location, considering whether it's an old building, a new one, or a construction project, and location, considering the area in which it's located (its typical traffic, the availability of parking, and therefore, the demand).
It's important to understand building regulations, as some allow parking spaces for rent to any tenant, while others only allow the use of parking spaces for building owners and prohibit rentals to outside vehicles.

Garages: an investment model that recovers profitability
In a context where real estate has regained its appeal as an investment option, as rental yields have increased over the past year, many are beginning to look at this sector again as a way to stretch their savings. And although the traditional or best-known investment model is apartments , there are many segments within this market that also generate profit and even offer a lower down payment than a home.
Indeed, if you analyze the department numbers, you can see that the return on investment in these properties grew last year, going from 4.24% in July to 5.37% in May , according to Zonaprop.
In the case of parking spaces, profitability also increased. “Since the dollar was flat, the pesos generated by real estate are now enough to buy more dollars. Furthermore, since the rental law was repealed and contracts can be freely negotiated, the relationship between the cost of the parking space and the rental income is more attractive ,” explains Alan Flexer, development and residential manager at Narvaez.

One of the attractions of garages, as opposed to apartments, is their much lower entry fees . According to Zonaprop, an average 40 m² studio apartment was listed for US$106,631 in May, so it's difficult for anyone without a US$100,000 loan or a US$100,000 loan to access this type of property.
However, garage prices are lower, which lowers the barrier to entry for this investment . For example, a report by Reporte Inmobiliario shows that in Almagro, garages within developments are priced between US$30,000 and US$35,000.
It's worth noting that garages require less maintenance than apartments and save landlords headaches by avoiding complaints from tenants due to potential problems or repairs to the property. However, one specialist highlights the key factor to consider to ensure a significant return. "What truly determines whether it's a good investment or not is the type of expenses each garage pays. Some include expenses such as an elevator, water, and others, which lower the profitability. For the analysis, it's important to understand where the garage is located; if it belongs to a building with many amenities and services, they will likely be included as part of your expenses," adds Flexer.
