Jesús María: prices, rental yield & Airbnb income

The short answer
Long-term wins clearly, at 3.9% net versus 1.0% gross for Airbnb — roughly 3.9 times better even before you subtract short-term operating costs. Jesús María isn't a tourism district, and the 9% occupancy shows it. The caveat: 3.9% net is decent but not exciting, so buy for stable rent, not upside.

What Jesús María is

Jesús María is a central, unpretentious residential district built around the green Campo de Marte park and a cluster of major hospitals. It draws steady mid-market and professional tenants and rarely makes headlines — which is exactly its appeal. Who buys here: investors who want a reliable, no-surprises long-term hold at a sensible price.

Long-term rentals net about 3.9% here, which is a real after-cost figure. That comes from sale prices near $2,013 per m² and rents around $11.6 per m² per month. For Lima, a solid, unspectacular middle-of-the-pack return.

The Airbnb side looks thin. Across 51 listings, occupancy sits at just 9% with an average daily rate of $33.50, producing roughly $1,341 in annual revenue and a gross yield of only 1.0% — and that's before Airbnb-specific costs. Remember the HOA alone runs about $103 a month.

Recent Airbnb occupancy

Occupancy peaks around December (~29%) and is quietest in March (~3%). Trailing months with enough data — Lima's short-term demand tracks the Dec–Feb summer.
