Compact and Affordable Apartment in Suita, Osaka
This listing presents a compact one-room apartment located in the Suita City area of Osaka Prefecture. The property is a rental apartment (アパート) within a small, six-unit wooden building constructed in March 1986. The unit itself is situated on the second floor of the two-story structure and offers a modest private floor area of 19 square meters (approximately 5.74 tsubo). The monthly rent is set at a very affordable 30,000 yen, with an additional monthly management and common area fee of 3,000 yen. Notably, the initial move-in costs are low, as there is no key money (礼金) and no security deposit (敷金).
Translated agent notes on equipment and features confirm the apartment includes a toilet, a combined bath and toilet unit, a shower, an IH cooking heater, storage space, an air conditioner, city gas, public water supply, sewerage, city gas water heating, and a coin laundry facility. However, it lacks a private balcony, dedicated parking, or bicycle parking. Special conditions and remarks are extensive: pets are not allowed, occupancy is limited to single persons only, musical instruments are prohibited, two-person occupancy or room-sharing is not allowed, DIY or customization is forbidden, and the unit cannot be used as an office or for SOHO purposes. The lease contract period is two years with a free renewal fee. Mandatory requirements include joining a rental guarantee program and purchasing a two-year insurance policy for 19,000 yen (provider example: AIG損害保険株式会社). Additional one-time costs include a deodorization service fee of 11,000 yen, and monthly running costs include an estimated water bill of around 3,000 yen.
The apartment is conveniently located within a 12-minute walk from Kita-Senri Station on the Hankyu Senri Line, providing easy access to central Osaka and Kyoto. The area of Suita is known for being home to the expansive Expo '70 Commemorative Park, a major tourist attraction built on the site of the 1970 World's Fair. The park features beautiful gardens, museums, and the iconic Tower of the Sun sculpture, offering residents a vast green space for recreation just a short train ride away.
