This property is a spacious 3LDK apartment located in the sought-after Kita Ward of Osaka City.

Other running costs include a neighborhood association fee of 150 yen per month, a special installment fee of 1,000 yen per month for external owners, and an annual drainage pipe cleaning fee of 2,160 yen.
The location is highly convenient, within a 6-minute walk from Nakatsu Station on the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line and a 12-minute walk from Nakatsu Station on the Hankyu Takarazuka Line. The area is a dynamic mix of residential comfort and urban energy.
