Rack Kobe: A Convenient and Affordable Wooden Apartment in Kobe
Rack Kobe is a two-story wooden apartment building located in Kamiikeda 1-chome, Nagata Ward, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture. Constructed in April 1992, this 34-year-old property offers a practical and budget-friendly living option. The building is conveniently situated within a 16-minute walk from both the Sanyo Electric Railway Main Line's Nishidai Station and the Kobe Kosoku Tetsudo Tozai Line's Nishidai Station, providing excellent access to Kobe's rail network.
The property currently has four 1K layout units available for rent. The monthly rent ranges from 35,000 to 37,000 yen, with an additional monthly management fee of 3,000 yen. Key financial terms are highly favorable for tenants: the security deposit (敷金) is 0 yen for all units, and the key money (礼金) is either 0 yen or one month's rent, depending on the specific unit. This significantly reduces the initial moving-in costs. Each unit offers 23.00 square meters of living space, featuring a separate bath and toilet, wooden flooring, a balcony, and air conditioning for heating and cooling. Other indoor amenities include a space for a washing machine, a closet, and a shoe box. The kitchen is equipped with an electric cooking hob. Cable TV (CATV) is available. The agent's special notes highlight the property's proximity to daily conveniences: it is only 404 meters from Toho Store Nishinagata and 648 meters from Gourmet City Nagata.
The surrounding Nagata Ward area is a vibrant part of Kobe, known for its resilience and community spirit following the Great Hanshin Earthquake. An interesting local fact is that the ward is home to the iconic Kobe Steel Kobelco Steelers rugby team's home stadium. The closest major landmark is the bustling port area of Kobe Harbor, famous for its scenic views, the Kobe Port Tower, and the maritime museum, all easily accessible via the local train lines.
