Cost of Living in Ukraine

"Very difficult to say, depends on: * If you have any dependents, ie children to support. * If you rent a fully furnished apartment from an agency it's expensive, better to buy or find a private landlord. * You have to buy extra clothing for the winter, it's inescapable unless you want to freeze your knees off," said one expat in Kharkov.

"I have been very happy with my cost of living here and lifestyle. It is much better than I expected," said one expat in Kharkov.

"The cost of housing in Ukraine varies depending on the location and type of property. Generally, the cost of renting an apartment in Ukraine is relatively affordable compared to other European countries. Prices for apartments in the capital city of Kyiv tend to be higher than in other cities, but still remain relatively low compared to other European capitals," wrote a person living in Ukraine.

"The rental price for a nice 1 bedroom apartment in Ukraine can vary depending on the location, but generally ranges from around $200 to $500 per month. For a nice 2 bedroom apartment, the rental price can range from around $400 to $800 per month," commented one expat living in Ukraine.

Furniture may also be included in the rental, depending on the agreement between the landlord and tenant," said one expat.
