Rent prices in Cherkasy: what a 1-, 2- or 3-room apartment or a house costs (as of 29 September 2026)

The median is the middle price: half the listings are cheaper and half are more expensive. The range shows where the middle half of offers sits (25th to 75th percentile), leaving out the cheapest and most expensive extremes. On the sampling date the cheapest apartment listing in the city was UAH 6,000 and the most expensive UAH 70,000. The key numbers:

• all apartments: median UAH 20,000, typical range UAH 16,000–25,000 (108 listings);
• one-room: median UAH 16,000, range UAH 14,000–22,000, typical size 37 m² (46 listings);
• two-room: median UAH 22,000, range UAH 18,000–25,000, 52 m² (40 listings);
• three-room: median UAH 20,000, range UAH 17,000–30,000, 70 m² (17 listings);
• four rooms or more: only 5 listings, UAH 22,000 to 70,000, no median calculated;
• houses: median UAH 20,000, range UAH 18,000–36,500 (17 listings).

We downloaded every active OLX long-term rental listing located in the city of Cherkasy at 00:07 Kyiv time on 29 September 2026. The sample contains 108 apartments and 19 houses; the apartment count matched what the OLX website itself displays. Repeated listing IDs were removed. Prices in US dollars (4 apartments and 2 houses) were converted to hryvnias at OLX's own rate at download time.

Two house listings were excluded: a house for sale posted in the rental section, and a home without amenities in a village about 40 km away. OLX counts villages around Cherkasy separately, so they are not part of the city figures.

Limitations: the same apartment may be posted by several agencies. We found 5 groups of likely duplicates (10 listings), but collapsing them leaves the overall median unchanged at UAH 20,000. OLX is only one platform; some offers appear only on other sites, in Telegram channels or with agencies.

One-room apartments are the largest group: 46 listings, over 40% of all apartment listings. The median is UAH 16,000, and half of the offers fall between UAH 14,000 and 22,000. The median size is 37 m², and the median price per square metre is about UAH 429 a month.

Cheap options are scarce. On the sampling date there were 5 apartment listings at UAH 10,000 or less (4 of them one-room), 10 at UAH 12,000 or less, and 26 at UAH 15,000 or less. Only one listing was below UAH 7,000, and there were none at UAH 5,000 or less.

On a tight budget, look at one-room apartments in residential districts, and be careful with prices that look too good: OLX lists a price far below the market as one of the signs of a scam listing. More in our article on rental scams.

There are 40 two-room apartments in the sample. The median is UAH 22,000, half of the offers are between UAH 18,000 and 25,000, the median size is 52 m², and the median price per square metre is about UAH 365.

There are only 17 three-room apartments. Their median is UAH 20,000, the range UAH 17,000–30,000, and the size about 70 m². The median being lower than for two-room flats reflects the small sample and varying condition, so do not conclude that three-room apartments are cheaper. Per square metre they do come out lower: about UAH 286 per m².

There are just 5 apartments with four or more rooms, priced from UAH 22,000 to 70,000. A median means little for such a small group, so ask about specific options instead.

OLX has no district directory for Cherkasy, so we assigned districts from the neighbourhood name in each listing's title or description. For Mytnytsia and the South-West district we also used typical street and residential complex names. Medians are shown only where there are at least 10 listings:

Other districts appear too rarely to draw conclusions: Siedova 4, the 700-richchia Square area, the railway station area and Kazbet 2 each, and Lunacharskyi, Khimselyshche, Kryvalivka and Zelena one each. For another 22 listings the district could not be identified. Mytnytsia lies in the east of the city on the Kremenchuk Reservoir and is mostly high-rise. The South-West district has the largest housing stock of any neighbourhood and consists only of apartment blocks. For choosing a neighbourhood, see our guide to Cherkasy districts.

• City Centre (including the “quiet centre”): 44 listings, median UAH 25,000, range roughly UAH 19,700–27,700; UAH 23,000 for one- and two-room flats;
• Mytnytsia: 13 listings, all one- or two-room, median UAH 24,000, range UAH 16,000–25,000;
• South-West district (PZR): 17 listings, median UAH 16,000, range UAH 14,000–18,000; UAH 15,000 for one- and two-room flats.

There are far fewer houses for rent within the city on OLX: 17 listings after exclusions. The median is UAH 20,000 per month, and half of the offers range from UAH 18,000 to 36,500. A typical house in the sample has about 80 m² and a plot of around 400 m², and 5 listings are for part or half of a house.

The sample is small, so treat these figures as a rough guide. Houses in nearby villages such as Ruska Poliana, Heronymivka, Sloboda or Svydivok are counted separately by OLX, with one listing each on the sampling date. More in our article on renting a house in Cherkasy.

Utilities are usually paid on top of rent: under Article 815 of Ukraine's Civil Code the tenant pays for utilities unless the lease says otherwise. Almost half of the listings (49%) mention utilities, so always ask whether they are included. Also plan for move-in costs: 44 listings mention a deposit and 60 mention an agency fee. See our article on deposits and fees for a sample budget.

Besides size and district, the price depends on condition, furniture and appliances, building type, heating, backup power during outages and whether pets are allowed. Here is what the OLX sample shows:

• 96 of 108 apartments are offered furnished, so a furnished flat is the norm, not the exception;
• heating is central in 62 listings and individual gas in 17;
• 32 listings state a modern renovation, 26 a cosmetic one and 19 a designer interior;
• only 16 of 108 listings allow pets, while 46 explicitly forbid them;
• 7 listings (6.5%) mention a generator, backup power or blackouts.

Rental listings in Cherkasy turn over quickly: the median listing is 13 days old, and 76 of 108 listings appeared within the last 30 days. Set your budget and requirements in advance so you can act on new options straight away.

87% of apartment listings on OLX in Cherkasy are posted by business accounts, that is, agencies and realtors. Svit Nerukhomosti is a real estate agency too, that is, an intermediary: you can shortlist options within your budget in our catalogue, and our manager will book a viewing. Please ask the manager about our terms, including any fee. A few steps that save time:

• set a budget ceiling that includes utilities and the move-in payment;
• pick two or three acceptable districts: the gap between the City Centre and South-West medians is UAH 9,000 a month;
• decide what is essential for you: pets, individual heating, floor level, a generator;
• compare price per square metre, not just the total;
• at the viewing, ask what the price includes, and never transfer money before seeing the place and signing a lease.
