Co-op MM: A Spacious 2DK Apartment with Ocean Views in Urasoe, Okinawa
This Co-op MM apartment, located in Urasoe City's Nishihara district, offers a comfortable and convenient living space with a practical 2DK layout and approximately 35.66 square meters of private area. The property features a combination of Japanese and Western-style rooms, with six tatami mats in the Japanese room and six in the Western-style room, plus an 8-mat dining kitchen. Situated on the 3rd floor of a 3-storey reinforced concrete (RC) building constructed in 1982, the apartment includes one free parking space and is available for immediate occupancy.
The apartment is equipped with propane gas and features a traditional Japanese getabako (shoe storage cabinet). A special senior-friendly plan is available; interested parties are encouraged to inquire. Key financial details include a monthly rent of 43,000 yen plus a 1,000 yen common area maintenance fee. There is no security deposit (shikikin) or key money (reikin). The agent's intermediary fee is equivalent to one month's rent plus tax. A rent guarantee is required: a one-time fee of 50% of the total rent (minimum 30,000 yen) is due upon move-in, followed by a monthly fee of 1.5% of the monthly rent for the duration of the tenancy. If the tenant does not pass the standard screening, an alternative specified rent guarantee contract can be used. Additional move-in costs may include a Living Support fee (2,750 yen/month), water purifier (1,540 yen/month), disinfection/deodorization treatment (15,400 yen), lock replacement (16,500 yen), and a specific fire extinguisher (12,760 yen). Upon moving out, tenants are responsible for house cleaning (44,000 yen including tax) and tatami mat replacement (29,700 yen including tax for 6 mats at 4,950 yen each). If the contract is terminated in less than two years, a short-term cancellation penalty of one month's rent will be charged.
The Nishihara area of Urasoe provides a residential atmosphere with excellent accessibility. An interesting local fact is that Urasoe was once the seat of the Ryukyu Kingdom's government before it moved to Shuri. The property is within a 25-minute walk of Tedako-Uranishi Station and a 4-minute walk from the Nishihara bus stop. The closest major landmark is the scenic Okinawa Memorial Park, a vast national park that includes the Peace Memorial Park and offers panoramic ocean views, historical reflection, and beautiful natural surroundings.
