Galt & Taggart figures for new turnkey apartments. Gross yield of an area: our calculation (a year of rent divided by the price per m² in the same quarter), before costs and tax; for the Batumi average, the yield Galt & Taggart publishes for 2026. Shares other than the New Boulevard's are calculated from unit counts. Price change from June 2025 to June 2026: Galt & Taggart, second quarter of 2026.

Who each area suits

Makhinjauri

Who it suits

Investors looking for an alternative to overheated areas; people who want calm and plan to drive; and families: the review also mentions the local schools.

What to keep in mind

The daily drive to the centre. Galt & Taggart publishes no price range for this area, so compare a project's price with this average and with neighbouring offers.

Area guide

Gonio-Kvariati

Who it suits

Above all, buyers who expect rental income. Living here year-round suits people who want peace by the sea.

What to keep in mind

According to the review: narrow roads and limited services. Sales fell 10.9%, and the price range is very wide, from $1,770 to $5,500 per m², so compare a given apartment with neighbouring projects rather than with the average.
