Albania and Hungary: details that can change the decision
Read country averages alongside local housing choices and access to the same product.
Albania · The impact of housing choice
Albania has 2 recorded cities whose central one-bedroom rents range from ALL 36,903–ALL 67,636; this is neither a national rent average nor a distribution of all listings.
| City | Centre / outside centre | Source date |
|---|---|---|
| Durres | ALL 36,903 / ALL 26,961 | 2026-07-08 |
| Tirana | ALL 67,636 / ALL 39,310 | 2026-09-08 |
Do not relabel national salary as pay in these cities. Compare like-sized homes, included utilities and commuting costs; a lower rent may not translate into an equal saving.
