The most coveted rental apartments on the Immoscout24.at Portal are on average 60 square meters and have 2.3 rooms. This is the result of an analysis of 14,000 apartment advertisements, which were published in 2024 and 2025 (each between January and May).
The most coveted rental apartments cost on average 806 euros per month (gross). A year ago there were 61 square meters of 797 euros rent, as the real estate platform announced on Friday. She analyzed the ten percent who had the most questions.
In Tyrol, Salzburg and Vorarlberg, the most wanted apartments cost on average more than a thousand euros. This value was the lowest on just under 700 euros in Styria. The average area in Tyrol was the smallest in Tyrol with 56 square meters and in Burgenland with 69 square meters.
Differences up to 300 euros with the same size
“Compact apartments with manageable rental costs are at the top for apartment seekers. From a regional point of view, there are differences of up to 300 euros in the rent for approximately the same large apartments, depending on the federal state,” said Markus Dejmek, Austrian boss of Immoscout24.
Vienna is one of the few federal states in which the most wanted price fell from an average from 892 euros to 878 euros. “The Viennese do it without a small living space and do not increase the budget to rent,” Dejmek said. Most clicks in the federal capital received apartments with 58 square meters. Tax and operating costs were also taken into account in the rent, but no heating and electricity costs.
