How new residential buildings are changing Kyiv’s short-term rental market in 2025
New complexes are competing with the city center
Until recently most guests preferred to stay only in the central districts.
But large new residential complexes changed the situation:
- modern entrances, elevators and concierge service
- clean surrounding territory
- new furniture and appliances
- spacious kitchens, terraces and panoramic windows
Thanks to this, many guests consider not only the center but also areas with new buildings, especially if the metro is nearby.
Why the demand for new buildings is growing:
1. Modern living
Guests who rent apartment prefer to arrive at a ready-to-live space.
It’s easier to provide that in a new building than in an old Soviet house.
2. Stability and predictability
New complexes are less likely to have problems with:
- heating
- electricity
- noise
- hot water
For guests, that means fewer risks.
3. Safety is a priority
Concierge, intercom, video surveillance — important factors, especially for solo travelers.
4. Families prefer new buildings
Children’s playgrounds, elevators, quiet backyards — a common requirement for family stays.
How it affected the prices
In 2025 we can see the following trend:
- a standard one-bedroom in a new building costs 10–20% more than in an old one
- luxury apartments in modern complexes may cost from 2000–2500 UAH/night
- new complexes are becoming popular among both tenants and landlords
What guests choose in 2025
Most popular criteria:
- modern renovation
- air conditioning
- new furniture
- nice building
- metro access
So the key factor is not the district, but the quality of the building and the apartment.
