The best Lima district for each apartment size
Rental returns in Lima don't just vary by district — they vary a lot by unit size. A one-bedroom and a three-bedroom in the same building can have very different yields, because small units rent for more per square metre while large ones sell for more per square metre. Here's where each size pays best, from our per-district, per-bedroom data.
The short version: for a one-bedroom, Pueblo Libre leads on long-term net yield (7.1%); for a two-bedroom, it's San Miguel (5.8%). Both columns are net — after the running costs each strategy actually carries — because that is the only way the two compare honestly. Full tables below.

How to read this
Yields here are net on both sides — each after the running costs it actually carries, on the same basis as every other page of this site. This page ranked gross against gross until 1 August 2026 and described that as comparing like-for-like. It was not: gross flatters whichever strategy carries the heavier costs, and Airbnb's are far heavier, so the old tables showed it winning sizes the rest of the site correctly said it lost. Long-term carries no mantenimiento here because the tenant pays it, while an Airbnb host does; every line is set out in the methodology. Cells appear only where enough listings back them, and each carries its sample. Nothing here is investment advice.
