The housing rental market in Ukraine continues to change under the influence of internal migration, the security situation and demand in relatively stable regions. At the end of 2025, analysts recorded significant differences in the cost of renting one-room apartments depending on the region: from record high prices in the west of the country to minimum rates in front-line regions.

This is evidenced by current data from the DIM.RIA analytical center, which compared the average cost of renting in December 2025 with the indicators of December 2024.

Growth records: where the cost of renting a one-room apartment has increased the most

- Cherkasy region – +56%, average price 13,250 UAH;

- Kirovohrad region – +45%, 8,000 UAH;

- Poltava region – +29%, 11,000 UAH.

A noticeable increase was also recorded in Vinnytsia (+19%), Khmelnytskyi (+26%) and Rivne (+20%) regions.

Where is the cheapest place to rent a one-room apartment in Ukraine?

The lowest prices are traditionally kept in the front-line and southern regions. In some regions, rent is not only cheap, but also continues to decline.

The most affordable regions for renting a one-room apartment:

- Kherson region – 3,000 UAH (–25% per year);

- Kharkiv region – 5,000 UAH (+25%);

- Mykolaiv region – 5,500 UAH (+10%);

- Zaporizhia region – 6,000 UAH (+20%).

Low prices here are directly related to security risks and limited demand for housing.
