Metro Heights Imazato: A Prime Investment Opportunity in Osaka
This northeast corner unit on the 7th floor of Metro Heights Imazato offers exceptional living conditions with abundant eastern sunlight flooding the interior spaces. The property features a 2DK layout comprising an 8.2-jo dining kitchen and two 6-jo Japanese-style rooms, one of which includes ample storage with built-in closets and shelving. The east-facing balcony provides excellent natural lighting and ventilation while offering commanding views from the 7th floor with no obstructing buildings ahead.
The building is exceptionally well-connected, located just 105 meters (2-minute walk) from Osaka Metro Sen-nichimae Line and Imazatosuji Line's Imazato Station, and approximately 980 meters (13-minute walk) from Kintetsu Namba/Nara/Osaka Line's Imazato Station. The property is currently tenanted with a monthly rent of ¥90,000, though early tenant departure is possible. It presents an excellent owner-change investment opportunity with a current surface yield of approximately 6.84%.
Even with a full ¥15.8 million loan, monthly payments would only be ¥42,283 (at 0.68% interest over 35 years). The building features comprehensive amenities including elevator access, paid parking available for ¥18,000 monthly (subject to availability), bicycle parking, and well-maintained common areas. The unit itself comes with a functional system kitchen, unit bath, separate toilet, shower-equipped washbasin, and laundry space.
The surrounding Imazato neighborhood offers excellent daily conveniences with Life Imazato supermarket 320 meters away, Sundrug pharmacy 225 meters distant, and multiple convenience stores within walking distance. The area benefits from excellent transportation access while maintaining a residential atmosphere. Historically part of Osaka's traditional urban fabric, the Imazato district has evolved into a vibrant residential area while preserving its community character, with the iconic Osaka Castle located just a short train ride away as the city's most recognizable landmark.
