I'm moving from Hong Kong and want to budget for rent and utilities.
How much does a typical apartment cost in New Taipei?
1 Answer
Rent in New Taipei varies by district and building age. For a one‑bedroom apartment in a central area, monthly rent usually ranges from NT$12,000 to NT$18,000. In more suburban or newer developments, prices can be lower, around NT$9,000 to NT$13,000. Utilities such as electricity, water, and internet add roughly NT$2,000 to NT$3,000 per month. It’s common for landlords to ask for a security deposit equal to one or two months’ rent. For precise figures, check online real‑estate listings and compare similar units in the same neighborhood.
A starting point only — it may be incomplete or out of date. Check official sources for anything important, and add your own answer if you know New Taipei.
