White Heim: New Construction Apartment in Uruma City, Okinawa
This brand-new apartment, scheduled for completion around February 2026 (Reiwa 8), offers a modern 2DK layout in the Takaezu area of Uruma City, Okinawa. The property features a spacious floor area of approximately 48.4 square meters and is equipped with a comprehensive range of facilities for comfortable living. Key equipment includes propane gas, a separate bath and toilet, a unit bath, a washbasin with vanity, a bathtub, a gas clothes dryer, an independent washbasin, air conditioning, closets, a walk-in closet, a trunk room, BS satellite broadcasting, internet connectivity with free internet service, a monitor-equipped intercom, and an indoor space for a washing machine.
The building is a reinforced concrete (RC) structure with three stories. The apartment comes with two free parking spaces, though the arrangement (tandem parking for one standard and one light vehicle) is subject to consultation as construction is ongoing. The property is pet-friendly, allowing small dogs only, with an additional one-month deposit required. Prospective tenants can apply without an internal viewing, and applications with complete documentation will be prioritized. The management utilizes electronic applications and contracts.
Initial costs include a security deposit of one month's rent, a key money of zero months, a monthly common area fee of 2,000 yen, a monthly building maintenance management fee of 1,000 yen, and mandatory fire insurance at 7,000 yen per year. The agency commission is equivalent to one month's rent plus parking fees (plus consumption tax). A guarantor company review and membership is mandatory (Zenkoku Hoken Ren), costing 50% of the monthly rent as an initial fee, with a minimum of 20,000 yen (14,000 yen upon renewal, annual). One guarantor is required, who must be an employed resident of Okinawa Prefecture aged 65 or under. For corporate applications, paper applications are necessary, requiring a commercial register (within 3 months) and two guarantors (representative and external).
The apartment is located in Uruma City, a central part of Okinawa's main island known for its blend of residential comfort and access to nature. An interesting local fact is that Uruma City was formed from the merger of several towns, including Gushikawa and Ishikawa, areas historically known for their strong pottery traditions. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Katsuren Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site with breathtaking views of the East China Sea, located just a short drive away.
