The highest long-term rental-yield districts in Lima (2026)

The numbers are what they are: Magdalena leads Lima on long-term net yield at 3.9%, tied with Pueblo Libre. Jesús María rounds out the top three at 3.8%. If you were expecting big spreads between districts, this ranking will disappoint you.

The whole list sits inside a narrow band. From Magdalena at 3.9% down to Miraflores at 3.5%, that's a range of 0.4 percentage points across eight districts. Barranco comes in at 3.7%, then San Isidro, Surco, and San Miguel all land at 3.6%. In practice these are close enough that the ranking order matters less than the fact that Lima long-term net yields cluster around 3.5 to 3.9%.

The names people associate with prestige -- San Isidro and Miraflores -- are at the bottom of this particular list, not because they're bad but because higher purchase prices drag the yield math down. Magdalena and Pueblo Libre win here on affordability, not glamour.

One caveat you should take seriously: these are aggregate medians. A district median hides a lot of variation between specific buildings, sizes, and conditions. The district pages carry the detail and the caveats, and that's where you should go before drawing conclusions. This is not investment advice.
