Apartments for sale in Kaunas

What should you check when buying an apartment in Kaunas?

Kaunas has several major universities, so some nearby apartments are rented to students. Before buying an apartment in Kaunas, consider these practical points:

• Sound insulation and neighbours. In buildings near universities, ask whether neighbouring apartments are regularly let for short stays, and listen for noise from the stairwell or other homes.
• Transport. Kaunas lies at the junction of the Vilnius–Klaipėda motorway and Via Baltica, making nearby neighbourhoods convenient for people working in another city.
• Technical inspection. When apartments in Kaunas are sold without intermediaries, you can bring a construction specialist and discuss any defects and the price directly with the owner.

Which Kaunas neighbourhood should you choose?

Dainava, Eiguliai and Šilainiai are large apartment neighbourhoods with schools, nurseries and shopping centres, where you can usually find a larger home for less money. Žaliakalnis is valued for Ąžuolynas Park and quiet streets. This neighbourhood and Naujamiestis contain many interwar modernist buildings. Kaunas's modernist architecture was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2023, so when buying an apartment in a protected building, check the heritage requirements for renovation and facade work.

An older or a newer building?

Apartments in older buildings in Kaunas are generally cheaper, but heating costs more and repairs may be needed. Newly built homes are more energy efficient but often sold with partial finishing.
