Prices and Trends in Pocitos — June 2026
INGAR · · Market
Sale Prices
Pocitos maintains its position as one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Montevideo. The current offering in June 2026 shows a price structure that reflects the consolidated demand for this sector of the city.
Studio apartments and 1-bedroom units concentrate the largest market availability, with USD 3.778/m² and USD 3.730/m² respectively. At the total price level, a studio apartment is offered on average for USD 187.900, while studios average around USD 126.000. These segments represent almost 60% of current supply (7.601 listings out of 14.025 total in the sample).
As bedrooms increase, the price per square meter decreases gradually. 2-bedroom units are offered at USD 3.606/m², with a total price of USD 289.252. 3-bedroom units drop to USD 3.000/m² (USD 349.000 total), while 4-bedroom units reach USD 2.818/m² (USD 426.500). This trend is typical in Montevideo: larger units dilute the unit price but require significantly larger budgets to purchase.
5-bedroom apartments form a very specific niche (only 53 listings) with a price per square meter of USD 2.509/m² and a total value of USD 460.000.

Rentals
The rental market in Pocitos shows dynamism, with ample supply in all segments. The amounts reflect sustained demand for this traditional neighborhood.
Studios rent for USD 572 monthly (1.686 listings), a figure accessible for those seeking a small dwelling in a high-standard area. 1-bedroom units reach USD 790 monthly, with the largest market availability (2.725 properties on offer).
From here, growth is noticeable. 2-bedroom units reach USD 1.003 monthly (1.771 listings), 3-bedroom units at USD 1.625 (813 listings), and 4-bedroom units at USD 1.500 monthly (212 listings). Note that 4-bedroom units have a slightly lower rent than 3-bedroom units in this sample: this may be due to specific characteristics of the available properties or specific market adjustments.
5-bedroom apartments are very scarce (7 listings) and rent for USD 2.250 monthly, an amount that corresponds to the exclusivity of the segment.
| Bedrooms | Monthly Rent | Sample |
|---|---|---|

| 1 | USD 790 | 2.725 |
| 2 | USD 1.003 | 1.771 |

| 4 | USD 1.500 | 212 |
| 5 | USD 2.250 | 7 |
The breadth of the rental supply —almost 9.000 active listings— indicates that Pocitos is a neighborhood with frequent tenant turnover, both due to executive relocations and young students and professionals seeking to live in a consolidated area.
Profitability
We do not have specific yield data for Pocitos in this June 2026 sample. To evaluate the gross profitability of an investment in the neighborhood, you can calculate it manually: divide the annual rent by the total purchase price. For example, a 1-bedroom purchased for USD 187.900 and rented at USD 790/month generates USD 9.480 annually, resulting in an approximate gross yield of 5%.
This level of profitability is typical in Montevideo for properties in prime neighborhoods. The investment equation in Pocitos is not primarily sustained by rental flow, but by the property stability and historical appreciation of the sector. It is a neighborhood that has maintained demand even in downward market cycles, which makes it a defensive asset.
Market Dynamics
We do not have specific indicators of sales speed, supply absorption, or monthly changes to report in this update. However, what we can point out is that the abundance of listings (14.025 properties for sale and 9.207 for rent) suggests a market with robust supply.
Pocitos historically functions as a seller's market in upward cycles and a buyer's market in neutral cycles, due to its position as a reference neighborhood. Permanent demand and the relative accessibility of small segments (studios and 1-bedroom) maintain a floor of activity that other neighborhoods cannot match.
The distribution of the sample —with almost 4.000 listings in 1 and 2 bedrooms— indicates that there are investors watching the supply, both to buy and rent as well as to sell. It is a market of active hunters.
Conclusion
Pocitos in June 2026 remains a first-class neighborhood in Montevideo, with prices ranging between USD 2.509 and USD 3.778 per square meter depending on unit size. Supply is very broad, which allows you to choose with criteria.
