Kaunas City Guide
Lithuania's second city and interwar former capital, Kaunas recorded the fastest property-price growth in the country in 2025, with average apartment prices rising 13.8% to about EUR 2,071 per square metre, the largest annual change of any Lithuanian city. The market is driven by a structural shortage of high-quality new housing in convenient locations, with completions falling for two consecutive years while demand from international-company employees, students, and public-sector workers keeps central districts tight. Typical older apartments range EUR 1,400-2,400 per square metre, leaving Kaunas materially cheaper than the capital Vilnius. Kaunas also delivers some of Lithuania's strongest yields, averaging around 5.8%, with studios and older stock reaching 6-7%; rents jumped roughly 13% in 2025, outpacing price growth and improving the income case. The Naujamiestis (New Town) modernist core, a UNESCO World Heritage site, along with Zaliakalnis, Centras, and Senamiestis (Old Town) form the prime zones. A NATO build-up that will base thousands of German troops near Vilnius and Kaunas through 2025-2026 adds incremental family-rental demand. With a population near 298,000 and Eurozone, EU, and NATO membership, Kaunas enters 2026 as Lithuania's standout value-and-yield market.

Vilnius City Guide
City guide
Vilnius is the capital and largest city of Lithuania, recently overtaking Riga as the biggest in the Baltic states. It is best known for its baroque UNESCO World Heritage Old Town (Senamiestis), one of the largest surviving medieval/baroque old towns in Europe, paired with an aggressive ring of modern development on the north bank of the Neris, where the Baltics' largest Central Business District (the Šnipiškės skyscraper district) has risen since 2000. Lithuania has used the euro since 1 January 2015, removing currency risk for euro-denominated investors. The economy underpinning the market is among the EU's most dynamic. Lithuania ranks first in the EU by number of licensed fintech companies, is a world leader in laser/photonics (its lasers are used by most of the world's top universities) and has a fast-growing life-sciences cluster. Vilnius is the hub of this activity, sustaining a deep pool of high-income local and expat tenants. On price, Lithuania has been one of the EU's fastest-appreciating markets over the past decade, house prices rose roughly +168% between 2015 and Q4 2025 (third only to Portugal and Bulgaria, per Eurostat); Vilnius apartments averaged ~€2,930/m² in December 2025, up ~10.7% over the trailing year (Ober-Haus). Gross rental yields citywide sit in the ~5–6% band, below the national average because prime-centre capital values are high relative to rents. Lithuania has NO property golden visa (residence requires genuine active business), and short-term-rental rules are in flux: a 2026 reform is expected to legalise STR in residential/multi-unit buildings (currently a legal grey zone), and the EU short-term-rental registration regime applies from 20 May 2026.
Average price~€2,930/m² citywide (Vilnius apartments, Dec 2025, Ober-Haus); new-build primary-market medians ~€3,350–€3,700/m²Rental yield~5–6% gross citywide (prime centre 4–5%; outer districts 6–7.5%)
