Renting an apartment in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires continues to be a challenge for the city's residents. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the listed prices for used rentals recorded year-on-year increases of over 32%, in line with the accumulated inflation in the same period. According to information obtained by the Argentine News Agency (NA) based on a report by the Buenos Aires Directorate of Statistics and Censuses (with data from the Argenprop portal), although a trend of 'deceleration' is observed compared to previous months, nominal values continue to rise. The average valuations (in pesos) for used apartments in the Federal Capital during the last quarter of 2025 were as follows: Studios (average area 30 m²): $484,985 (year-on-year increase of 34.1%). Two-bedroom apartments (average area 43 m²): $658,196 (year-on-year increase of 33.6%). Three-bedroom apartments (average area 70 m²): $1,008,258 (year-on-year increase of 32.4%). The report highlights that the average increase in rents (33.3%) moved almost in line with the variation estimated by the Buenos Aires City Consumer Price Index (IPCBA), which marked 32.6% for that period. The price map: the most expensive and cheapest neighborhoods The cost of renting varies significantly depending on the commune and neighborhood chosen. The northern corridor of the City continues to concentrate the most exclusive options. Studios: The highest value was recorded in Núñez ($542,348), followed by Belgrano ($526,349) and Villa Crespo ($525,789). At the other end, La Boca ($539,469) and Constitución ($547,572) offered the lowest prices. Three-bedroom apartments: The most expensive area to rent a family unit was Villa Urquiza ($1,165,389), followed by Núñez ($1,140,496). Although it is the majority currency, the report warns that the dollarization of rentals represents almost 25% of the market, marking one of the highest records in the last five quarters. The most accessible options were found in Constitución ($403,590) and San Nicolás ($429,953). Two-bedroom apartments: Again, Núñez led the ranking of the most expensive with an average of $757,091, followed by Palermo ($721,773).

The most economical values for this type were located in Constitución ($797,147) and Montserrat ($815,129).
