Spacious 1DK Apartment in Vibrant Koenji, Tokyo
This 34.92 sqm (approx. 10.56 tsubo) 1DK apartment is located in the highly sought-after Koenji area of Tokyo's Suginami Ward. Situated just a 5-minute walk from Koenji Station on the JR Chuo-Sobu Line, the property offers excellent convenience for shopping and commuting. The building is a 9-storey SRC structure, with this unit located on the 3rd floor, featuring a south-facing balcony of 1.36 sqm.
The apartment underwent a comprehensive renovation in January 2019, which included a complete refurbishment of the water areas (bathroom, toilet, washbasin, unit bath, and washstand were all newly replaced) and interior work (all rooms received new wallpaper, wall/ceiling finishes, door frame painting, entrance door painting, and screen door replacements). Equipment includes a system kitchen, 2-burner stove, ample storage and closet space, air conditioning, CATV and fiber-optic internet readiness, a washing machine space, flooring throughout all rooms, a security camera, and city gas. The building features an elevator and a paid bicycle parking area (3,000 yen per month).
Special Notes & Remarks (Translated from Agent Notes): Pets are not permitted. In the event of reconstruction, a building of the current scale cannot be built. There are no management regulations or detailed rules of use. In case of discrepancies between the floor plan and the actual condition, the actual condition takes precedence. There is a rule for a rotational system for the management association board members. As there is a live house on the 2nd-floor commercial space, noise may occur at night. There is an unspecified extension on part of the 1st and 2nd-floor commercial spaces. The building has automatic night lock (from 22:00 to 04:30). Use for minpaku (private lodging) or share houses is prohibited. CATV and internet require separate contracts.
The Koenji area is famous for its vibrant, alternative culture, boasting one of Tokyo's best and most extensive collections of vintage clothing stores. It's also renowned for its annual Awa Odori festival, one of the largest traditional dance festivals in Japan, which transforms the streets every summer. The area provides a unique blend of traditional shitamachi (downtown) atmosphere and trendy youth culture. A major nearby landmark is the historic Gokokuji Temple, a significant Buddhist temple of the Shingon sect, located a short distance away in the neighboring Bunkyo ward.
