Apartment for rent in Prague

Searching for an apartment to rent in Prague is not an easy task at all. On the real estate market, the most popular search query is exactly renting a flat in Prague. Our portal will help you find housing in this city. Prague is the largest and economically most developed city in the Czech Republic. It has many prestigious universities and international companies, which makes renting an apartment difficult due to the large number of students and foreigners living in the country long-term. Real estate agencies and property owners try to meet the demand. Developers release new projects every year, but the growth rate of available housing is slowing down. In 2021, only 2,750 new flats were completed in Prague — a historical minimum, confirming that finding rental housing is truly not easy. The rental price depends on the district, size, furniture, access to public transport, and year of construction. Before the 2020 pandemic, prices were steadily rising, and in 2021 growth resumed. The most expensive district is Prague 1, known for beautiful views, architecture, and excellent transport access, but also for large tourist crowds and noise. Prague has a well-developed public transport system, so it's possible to search for housing outside the city center as well. Rental prices start from around 10,000 CZK without utilities, a deposit of 1–2 monthly rents is often required, and real estate agencies may charge a commission of 50–100% of the monthly rent. Unfurnished apartments are usually cheaper, but tenants must cover the cost of furniture and appliances themselves. Historic buildings may not have elevators, insects may appear, and heating is often gas-based, requiring maintenance. Public transport runs 24/7, so it’s important to consider the distance to tram tracks, especially if you are a light sleeper. If you can't find a suitable apartment, it's worth looking at nearby towns and villages — rent there is cheaper, and the trip to the center takes 30 – 45 minutes.
