Flats for rent in II. Rózsadomb
Rózsadomb and Pasarét: green hills, villas, family life.
District II climbs from the Danube at Margaret Bridge up into the Buda hills. Rózsadomb is the classic address for houses with gardens and views; Pasarét and Hűvösvölgy are leafy and quieter still. Expect larger flats, more parking, and a longer trip into town by tram 4 and 6 or bus. Popular with families and diplomats.

A renter's guide to II. Rózsadomb
District II is two districts in one. The lower part along Margit körút and around Széll Kálmán tér is dense, urban and busy, with the same courtyard buildings and tram noise you would find in Pest. Above it the streets climb into Rózsadomb, Törökvész and Pasarét, and the character changes to villas, gardens and 1930s modernist blocks with balconies facing south. Beyond the ridge, Hűvösvölgy and Pesthidegkút are effectively suburbs, with family houses, the forest and buses as the main link to town.
Everyday services are good but not evenly spread. The shops and the market are around Széll Kálmán tér, Fény utca and the Mammut shopping centre; Pasaréti tér has a small centre of its own. Higher up you will drive or walk downhill for groceries. The district is well supplied with schools, clinics and embassies, which is part of why it attracts diplomats and families with older children.
The price tag is the highest in Buda together with District I. What you get for it is space: flats here are bigger than in Pest, parking is easier the higher you go, and the air is noticeably better on a hot day.

Getting around
- M2 at Széll Kálmán tér: Deák Ferenc tér in 5 to 6 minutes; the same station is the hub for the whole district.
- Trams 4 and 6 along Margit körút run all night across Margaret Bridge to Nyugati and the Grand Boulevard.
- Trams 56, 56A, 59 and 61 leave Széll Kálmán tér towards Hűvösvölgy and Szent János Kórház; Hűvösvölgy to Széll Kálmán tér is about 25 minutes.
- Buses 11, 91, 291 and 5 serve Rózsadomb, Törökvész and Pasarét; the hill routes are frequent by day and thin out after 22:00.
- Trams 17, 19 and 41 stop at Bem tér and Margit híd on the embankment; bus 22 and 222 run to Budakeszi.
What the homes are like
The lower district offers turn-of-the-century courtyard buildings on Margit körút, Frankel Leó út and Bem tér: high ceilings, street noise, and a lift if the house has been renovated. On the hill the stock is villas split into two to four flats, 1930s and 1960s blocks of six to eight units with gardens shared between tenants, and a steady supply of new-build condominiums with underground garages. In Pesthidegkút and Hűvösvölgy you are mostly looking at detached houses or half a house.
Check three things on the hill: the boiler (individual gas is the norm and the bills of a large flat add up), the slope of the street in winter if you drive, and the walk to the nearest bus stop, because a fifteen-minute uphill walk with shopping is a different proposition in January. Many villas have no lift; a second-floor flat in a villa can mean 60 steps.
Who it suits
It suits families who want a garden or at least a balcony, people with a car, diplomats and those posted to the embassies and international schools, and anyone who likes to be in the forest within twenty minutes. It suits less well anyone who relies on a late tram home, students who need a cheap room, and people who want cafés and shops on every corner rather than one small local centre.
Parts of II. Rózsadomb
- Rózsadomb and Törökvész
- The classic hill above Margit körút, between Bimbó út and Törökvész út: villas, 1930s blocks, steep quiet streets and views over the Danube. The dearest part of the district.
- Pasarét
- West of Rózsadomb around Pasaréti tér and Pasaréti út, flatter and greener, with a small centre, the modernist church and bus 5 into town. Popular with families.
- Margit körút and Víziváros edge
- The urban strip from Széll Kálmán tér to Margit híd and Bem tér. Older courtyard buildings, all the transport, lower rents than the hill and more noise.
- Hűvösvölgy and Pesthidegkút
- Beyond the ridge at the end of trams 56 and 61: family houses, gardens, the forest and the Children's Railway. Suburban living inside the city limits, best with a car.
Questions people ask about II. Rózsadomb
How expensive is District II?
It has been the most expensive or second most expensive district for rent through 2025 and 2026, with a median asking rent around 350 to 360 thousand forints. That figure is pulled up by large flats and houses; a normal two-room flat on the lower streets is much closer to the city average.
Do I need a car in Rózsadomb?
Not strictly, but it helps. Buses 11, 91 and 291 cover the hill by day and every part of it is within a half-hour walk of Széll Kálmán tér, but the walk is uphill on the way home and services are sparse after ten at night. Many households here keep one car.
Is it good for families with children?
Yes, this is one of the reasons people move here. There are plenty of kindergartens and schools, several international schools within reach, parks and the forest, and quiet streets. The cost is the rent and the commute for the parent who works in Pest.
How long is the commute to the centre?
From Széll Kálmán tér, 5 to 6 minutes on the M2 to Deák Ferenc tér. From Pasaréti tér allow 25 to 30 minutes with a bus and the metro, and from Hűvösvölgy 35 to 40 minutes by tram and metro.
