Yuzhen, Plovdiv: rents rise for both 2-room and 3-room apartments in September 2026

In September 2026, rents for 2-room apartments in the Yuzhen district of Plovdiv were higher than in June by a greater margin than rents for 3-room apartments: +12.5%, to €450/month, compared with +8.3%, to €650/month. Compared with August, however, the increases were almost identical, with rents rising in both segments. The typical figure here is the median of observed asking prices.

The typical asking rent for 2-room apartments is €450/month, with a range from €320/month to €549/month. The stated ranges cover the middle 80% of observed asking prices. For 3-room apartments, the benchmark is €650/month, with a range from €498/month to €768/month. The ranges thus complement the typical level with boundaries for comparing specific listings in each segment.

Compared with August 2026, the typical rent changed by +8.4% for 2-room apartments and +8.3% for 3-room apartments. Higher rents were accompanied by fewer observed properties: -3.8% and -13.7%, respectively. In September, 75 2-room apartments and 44 3-room apartments for rent were observed.

The comparison with June 2026 shows a different picture for supply. The number of observed 2-room apartments changed by -15.7%, while the number of 3-room apartments changed by +12.8%. Therefore, the higher typical rent in both segments was not accompanied by the same direction of change in the number of observed properties.

2-room apartments have a typical asking price of €1,307/sq m and a total property budget of €93,777. For 3-room apartments, the figures are €1,252/sq m and €130,000. The lower typical price per sq m for 3-room apartments is paired with a higher total budget—the two measures provide different benchmarks for comparing listings.

The range for 2-room apartments is from €1,100/sq m to €1,969/sq m, while for 3-room apartments it is from €950/sq m to €1,991/sq m. The ranges overlap considerably, despite the difference between the typical figures.

Compared with August 2026, the typical sale price per sq m for 2-room apartments was down -3.2%, while for 3-room apartments it was down -1.0%. Compared with June 2026, the changes were -7.3% and -0.7%, respectively. Thus, for 2-room apartments, the sale price per sq m and monthly rent moved in opposite directions compared with both months.

There were 329 2-room apartments and 233 3-room apartments observed for sale. Compared with June 2026, their numbers changed by -2.7% for 2-room apartments and +6.9% for 3-room apartments. The more pronounced price decline for 2-room apartments coincided with fewer observed properties, while the number of 3-room apartments increased.

For a lower total budget, the benchmark for one-room apartments is €57,800, and their typical price per sq m is almost at the June 2026 level: -0.1%. Separately, the typical total asking price for parking spaces is €21,850, based on 16 observed properties.

The overall typical level for apartments for sale in Yuzhen is €1,300/sq m. The difference compared with the city’s typical level is -13.5%, with Plovdiv at €1,503/sq m.

Among districts selected for their similar typical asking prices, Yuzhen is almost at Gagarin’s level: -0.3%, with Gagarin at €1,304/sq m. Compared with Ostromila, the difference is -2.5%; compared with Komatevsko Shose, it is -3.3%; and compared with Komatevski Vazел, it is -3.5%. Yuzhen is above Izgrev by +3.5%. Thus, the gap from the city level is greater than the differences compared with these similarly priced districts.

Rents are rising for both 2-room and 3-room apartments, while the decline in sales is more pronounced for 2-room apartments. Yuzhen remains below Plovdiv’s typical price level. The clearest divergence is for 2-room apartments compared with June 2026: -7.3% for the typical sale price per sq m versus +12.5% for the typical monthly rent.
