Property prices in Riga vary widely by neighbourhood, size and condition, so a single citywide average only tells you so much. As of 2026, use the figures below as a guide, then check a specific home against recent local sales to know what it is really worth.
What is the average property price in Riga?
As of 2026, a two-bedroom apartment in Riga typically costs around €110,000, and the citywide figure works out to roughly €1,700 per square metre. Riga's market splits sharply between Soviet-era blocks, nearer €900 per square metre, and new developments above €2,200, so the citywide figure hides a wide range. Treat these as a rough guide: prices vary widely by area, size and condition, so check a specific home against recent local sales.
Averages are a starting point, not an answer. Two homes on the same street can sell for very different amounts, so treat any headline number for Riga as a rough guide and look closer for a specific property.
Why do prices vary so much across Riga?
Location does most of the work, and it works at every scale. Central and sought-after areas such as Centrs, Āgenskalns, Mežaparks typically command more, while neighbourhoods like Teika and Vecrīga (Old Town) can offer better value. Within any area, the exact street, floor, view and condition all move the price.
What moves Riga prices up and down?
- Location, from the district down to the exact street and floor.
- Size and layout, where usable, well-arranged space beats raw square metres.
- Condition and energy efficiency, increasingly important as running costs rise.
- The wider market, including interest rates and local supply and demand.
