Buenos Aires Rents Slow, as Sub-ARS 600,000 Listings Become the Hot Chase

Near-33% annual gains leave renters targeting older, smaller, transit‑connected units.

Overview

  • Official Q4 2025 averages reached ARS 484,985 for studios, ARS 658,196 for one‑bedrooms and ARS 1,008,258 for two‑bedrooms, according to the city statistics institute.
  • Year‑over‑year increases were 34.1% for studios, 33.6% for one‑bedrooms and 32.4% for two‑bedrooms, with the report noting a deceleration from the prior period.
  • Neighborhood gaps remain stark: Núñez and Palermo rank among the priciest depending on unit size, while Constitución, San Nicolás, La Boca and Montserrat sit at the lower end.
  • Agents report a practical ARS 600,000 ceiling where student and young professional demand clusters, favoring 32–40 m² units in older buildings without amenities near subte or train.
  • Monthly building fees often add ARS 120,000–200,000 to the outlay, making total cost decisive as sub‑ARS 600,000 listings in Almagro, Balvanera, parts of Caballito, Villa Crespo, Parque Centenario, Constitución and non‑premium Palermo turn over quickly.
