Zabjelo and Stari Aerodrom consistently stand out as locations offering the best value for money. New-build apartments in Zabjelo offer one-bedroom flats of 38–50 m² from €100,000 to €130,000, with good infrastructure and proximity to shopping centres. Stari Aerodrom is popular for its proximity to the city centre at prices somewhat lower than City Kvart. Pobrežje and Ljubović are increasingly sought-after new-build locations with prices slightly above Zabjelo but below City Kvart — a good middle-ground option for buyers wanting new construction at a reasonable price.

One-bedroom apartments in Podgorica range in size from 33 m² to 65 m², with the most common range being between 40 m² and 55 m². Apartments under 40 m² are generally compact new-build units or older flats with a small kitchen. Apartments of 45–55 m² offer a separate living room, kitchen and bedroom — the optimal layout for a couple. New-build units often include a terrace of 4–12 m², which increases the total usable area without increasing the purchase price.

Yes — one-bedroom apartments are the most popular investment category in Podgorica. The average annual rental yield is 5.4%, and with price growth of 20.7% per year the total return can be significantly higher. Tenant demand is stable throughout the year thanks to students, workers relocating from other municipalities and the expat community. One-bedroom flats have a broader target tenant group than studios, while lower maintenance costs compared to two-bedroom apartments make them the optimal income-to-cost ratio.

The average listing for a one-bedroom apartment in Podgorica remains active for 45 to 60 days. New-build apartments in popular locations such as Zabjelo, Pobrežje or Ljubović sell even faster — sometimes within two to three weeks. Apartments remaining on the market for more than 90 days generally have a pricing issue above market value or inaccurate documentation. Demand pressure is high — one-bedroom apartments account for 41% of the total market, and they are also the most sought-after buyer category.

Be sure to check: the property title sheet free of mortgages or liens, the building's occupancy permit, the floor plan document defining your apartment within the building, the energy certificate and any debts to the building management company. For new-build, check the developer's financial standing, the handover deadline and the structural warranty. Particularly with one-bedroom apartments, pay attention to sound insulation between units — thin construction can significantly affect the quality of living and rental experience.
