Dakar is undergoing a profound transformation of its real estate fabric since the inauguration of the TER (Regional Express Train) and BRT. Once-peripheral zones are becoming attraction points for the Senegalese middle class.

Prices by zone (2-3 bed rentals, 2026)

• Almadies / Ngor: 400,000 – 900,000 FCFA/month
• Plateau / City Centre: 300,000 – 600,000 FCFA/month
• Parcelles Assainies: 120,000 – 250,000 FCFA/month
• Diamniadio: 80,000 – 180,000 FCFA/month (rising fast)

The underlying trend

The development of Diamniadio, 30 km from Dakar, creates a new real estate market at competitive prices. Developers are launching social and intermediate housing programmes increasingly attracting first-time buyers.
