The Districts With the Highest Real Estate Returns in Lima
According to the latest Urbania report, the average gross rental yield in Metropolitan Lima stands at 5.31%, meaning it takes about 18.8 years of rental income to recover the cost of a property. However, two districts outperform the city average: Chorrillos and Lince, both with an impressive 6.0% annual return.
Chorrillos: Coastal Living Meets Investment Potential
Located in southern Lima, Chorrillos has become one of the city’s top investment destinations thanks to its mix of seaside lifestyle, growing infrastructure, and competitive property prices. Areas such as Malecón Sur and Avenida Los Faisanes are seeing steady demand for modern residential projects with ocean views.
Over the past year, land values in Chorrillos have appreciated by more than 11%, supported by strong developer interest. A recent $52 million investment by Rumi Grupo Inmobiliario in a major project of 1,200 new housing units highlights the district’s ongoing momentum. Additionally, its connectivity via the Costa Verde and the Metropolitano improves accessibility and overall quality of life — key drivers for sustained growth and rental demand.
Lince: The Modern Heart of Lima
In 2025, Lince continues to consolidate its position as a leading district in Modern Lima, driven by its strategic location, bordering San Isidro and Jesús María. This proximity has boosted both residential demand and property values, especially in the growing “Linsidro” area — where new towers up to 25 stories are reshaping the skyline.
During the first quarter of 2025, Lince issued building permits for seven residential and two commercial projects, representing an estimated $16 million in new investment. If this trend continues, the district could surpass $60 million in total investment by the end of the year, exceeding 2024 levels.
