Compact and Convenient Apartment in Sendai's Serene Suburb
This charming 1K apartment, located in the quiet residential neighborhood of Kobeira-cho, Aoba Ward, Sendai City, offers an affordable and convenient living solution. The property, named Sanko-po B201, is a second-floor unit in a wooden two-story building constructed in April 1984. With a private area of 16.76 sqm (approximately 5.06 tsubo), the layout features a 6-tatami mat Japanese-style room and a compact 1.5-tatami mat kitchen space (denoted as 和6/K1.5).
Key features and equipment, as detailed in the agent's notes, include a system kitchen, storage space, air conditioning, lighting fixtures, a corner room location, and a top-floor position. The unit is equipped with a shower and a re-heating function for the bath water. The property uses propane gas for its hot water system. A special note highlights the apartment's location in a quiet residential area. A further remark states there is no key money (礼金なし) and initial costs are under 70,000 yen. However, if the tenant requests a tatami mat surface replacement, one month's rent will be added as key money.
The monthly rent is a very reasonable 20,000 yen with no monthly management or common area fees. There is no security deposit (敷金), and the key money (礼金) is also listed as none. The required guarantee fee is approximately 60% of the first month's rent. The contract period is 2 years with no renewal fee. A mandatory insurance plan (宅建ファミリー共済) costing 18,000 yen for two years is required, though details may change based on the occupant or conditions.
The area provides excellent daily convenience. The Sendaisen Tohoku Fukushi Daigaku-mae Station is an 11-minute walk away, and a bus stop is just a 2-minute walk, making commutes and school trips easy. Within a 6-minute walking radius, you'll find Tohoku Fukushi University, convenience stores, supermarkets, the 77 Bank, and a post office. For a fascinating local excursion, the historic Zuihoden Mausoleum, the ornate resting place of the feudal lord Date Masamune, is a short trip away and offers a deep dive into the region's samurai history.
