Location: Kigali neighborhoods like Kacyiru, Nyarutarama, Kibagabaga, Rebero, and Gacuriro are popular for expats and high-end renters, while Kicukiro, Kanombe, and Nyamirambo offer more affordable options.
Budget: Rental prices range from RWF 100,000 to RWF 3,000,000+ depending on location and property type.
Utilities & Services: Check if water, electricity, and internet costs are included in the rent.
