“With this tool, people can find the rental price divided by two or three people, with the average area of the apartments, in addition to selecting the number of rooms and the location of interest to limit the search”, indicates Jairo Sarmiento, data analyst at Properati.
According to the platform, the towns with the most expensive rents in the city are in Chapinero, Usaquén and Suba, in whose neighborhoods the rental value, if divided between two people, ranges between $2.2 and $2.6 million pesos per month for each one, for a three-bedroom apartment.

In contrast, the cheapest rentals are in neighborhoods of the towns of Bosa and Usme, where, dividing the rent between two people, each one pays from $300 to $370 thousand pesos per month, for a three-bedroom apartment.
“If a couple wants to rent a 3-bedroom apartment in the west of the city, the most populated area of Bogotá (Engativá, Fontibón or Kennedy), it costs between $400,000 pesos and $1.1 million per person. If they move their search closer to the center-south of the city, in middle-class towns such as Puente Aranda, Los Mártires or Antonio Nariño, they will find that each one would have to pay between $450,000 pesos and $1.1 million, a scenario quite similar”, explains Sarmiento.

Things change when looking for 2 bedroom rentals. At West prices per person range from $320,000 pesos to $1.3 million, while in the center-on prices range from $330,000 to $690,000 pesos per person.
“With a little more budget, a couple can move closer to the center-north, without being affected by the high prices of Chapinero. In Barrios Unidos and Teusaquillo the following scenario can be found: rents for three rooms ranging from $660,000 pesos to $1.5 million per person, and for two rooms ranging between $440,000 pesos and $1.6 million per person.”, he complements.
