Modern Living in Chiba: First Residence Oyumino
First Residence Oyumino offers a brand-new, secure, and well-equipped apartment in the growing Oyumino district of Chiba City. This 1LDK unit, spanning 34.72 square meters, is located on the top (5th) floor of a modern 5-story reinforced concrete building, providing a bright and private living environment. The property is scheduled for completion in March 2026, with occupancy available from mid-March.
The apartment comes fully equipped with modern amenities for comfortable city living. Facilities include city gas, air conditioning, hot water supply, an elevator, a parcel delivery box, and a separate bath and toilet. The unit features a system kitchen, double-pane windows, flooring throughout, a balcony, and a walk-in closet. Security is a priority, with an auto-lock building entrance, a TV monitor intercom, security cameras, and security glass. Additional conveniences include a bidet toilet with a reheating function, an independent washbasin area, a shampoo dresser, an indoor space for a washing machine, and a bicycle parking area.
Critical agent notes specify important contractual and financial details. Tenants must join a 24-hour安心サポート (peace of mind support) plan costing 16,500 yen, renewed every two years. Parking is available for 15,000 yen per month for up to two cars only; if full, tenants must use nearby monthly parking lots. The lease contract is for a fixed two-year period with automatic renewal. A short-term cancellation penalty applies: one month's rent if canceled within the first year. The apartment allows for two residents but prohibits pets and musical instrument playing. Monthly common service fees (共益費) are 9,000 yen. There is a one-month security deposit (敷金) but no key money (礼金). A guarantee company (Epos Card) is mandatory, with an initial fee of 50% of the total rent and a monthly fee of 1.5% of the rent.
The location is highly convenient, just a 3-minute walk from the JR Uchibo Line's Kamatori Station, providing excellent access to central Chiba and beyond. The Oyumino area is a well-planned suburban community known for its spacious streets and family-friendly atmosphere. An interesting local fact is that the area was developed on former agricultural land, meticulously planned to integrate green spaces and modern infrastructure. The closest major landmark is the expansive Chiba Port Tower, a symbol of the prefecture offering panoramic views of Tokyo Bay, located approximately a 30-minute train ride away.
