The rent for flats in Dhaka varies significantly based on the location, size, and amenities. Here is a general idea based on the information gathered for some popular areas as of late 2024/early 2025:
General Price Ranges (Monthly Rent in BDT):
- Gulshan: Generally the most expensive area. Rents can range from BDT 35,000 to BDT 1,00,000 or even higher for larger or more luxurious apartments.
- Dhanmondi: Considered an upscale area. Rent typically ranges from a minimum of BDT 20,000 to up to BDT 75,000+.
- Uttara: Generally more affordable than Gulshan or Dhanmondi, with rents often between BDT 15,000 and BDT 60,000+. Some listings show 2-bedroom flats starting around BDT 15,000.
- Mirpur: Known for being budget-friendly. Rents can range from as low as BDT 10,000 to BDT 45,000+ for a typical flat. For example, 2-bedroom flats were seen around BDT 10,000 - BDT 16,200, and 3-bedroom flats around BDT 13,500 - BDT 25,000.
