Compact and Convenient 1K Apartment in Niigata City
This affordable rental apartment, located in Niigata City's Nishi Ward, offers a practical living solution in a quiet residential area. The property is a 6-tatami mat Western-style room (approximately 6 square meters) with a separate kitchen, forming a 1K layout within a total private area of 17.41 sqm. The building is a two-story wooden structure, and this unit is situated on the first floor of the second story. It was built in March 1979.
Key features and equipment include a separate bath and toilet, a bidet toilet seat, air conditioning, a loft space, an indoor washing machine area, and free internet usage. The apartment is a corner unit, which typically allows for more natural light and ventilation. The main source of sunlight is from the east. Pets are negotiable, with small dogs and cats permitted. The closest train station is JR Echigo Line's Uchino Station, just a 6-minute walk away, making commutes highly convenient.
The monthly rent is a very reasonable 20,000 yen. There is no monthly management or common area fee. The initial costs are also favorable: a security deposit (敷金) of one month's rent (20,000 yen) is required, but there is no key money (礼金). Other move-in costs include a non-recurring insurance fee of 18,000 yen for a two-year term (example: Takken Family Mutual Aid) and a monthly water utility estimate of around 2,000 yen. The contract period is two years with no renewal fee. The property is currently vacant and ready for immediate occupancy.
The surrounding area of Uchino in Niigata City is a well-established residential neighborhood with convenient daily amenities. An interesting local fact is that Niigata City, as a major port on the Sea of Japan, has historically been a crucial hub for trade and cultural exchange. The closest major landmark is the scenic Bandai Bridge, a double-deck truss bridge spanning the Shinano River, which is a famous symbol of the city and a popular spot for walks and views.
