Housing for Women in the Quiet Residential Area of Minami-Ogikubo
This apartment, located in the peaceful residential district of Minami-Ogikubo in Tokyo's Suginami Ward, offers a comfortable and convenient living space. The property is a 1K layout with a total floor area of 23.60 square meters, featuring a separate bath and toilet, a south-facing balcony, and flooring throughout. It is a corner room on the top floor of a two-story wooden building, providing extra privacy and quiet.
The apartment comes equipped with city gas, air conditioning, space for installing a gas stove, a dedicated toilet, a bath with a re-heating function, a designated space for a washing machine, lighting fixtures, ample storage space, a fire alarm, and bicycle parking. A key feature is that this is a women-only residence, and two-person occupancy is permitted. The building is strictly non-smoking.
Special notes from the agent clarify the conditions: This is a quiet and serene residential area. The bath utilizes a balance-fuwa system (a type of water heater). A stop for the 100-yen 'Mover Bus' (Mu-Bus) is nearby, which is very convenient in bad weather. The renewal fee for the lease is equivalent to one month of the new rent. Additional monthly costs include a 1,000 yen management fee. The initial guarantee company fee is 50% of the rent, with an annual renewal fee of 10,000 yen. A residential comprehensive insurance of 20,000 yen is required, and the contract period is two years.
The area of Minami-Ogikubo is known for its tranquil, neighborhood atmosphere while remaining well-connected. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Ogikubo station area is famously known as the birthplace of 'Ogikubo Ramen,' a distinct style of soy sauce-based ramen that originated in the 1950s. For recreation, residents can easily visit the expansive Showa Kinen Park, a massive national park in Tachikawa featuring beautiful gardens, cycling paths, and seasonal flower displays, accessible via the Chuo Line.
