Sapphire Avenue: New High-Grade Apartment in Okinawa City
This Sapphire Avenue property is a new high-grade apartment building scheduled for completion at the end of May. The building features reinforced concrete (RC) construction and stands eight stories tall. The available unit is a 1LDK layout with a total private area of 31.6 square meters (approximately 9.55 tsubo). The layout is entirely Western-style rooms. A key feature is the large 1.9-tatami mat walk-through closet located between the Western-style room and the washbasin area, creating a highly convenient morning routine from waking up to changing clothes and applying makeup.
Equipment and facilities include an indoor washing machine space. The kitchen is equipped with a water heater, gas stove, and is a face-to-face style kitchen. The bathroom and toilet are separate, and the unit includes an air conditioner, heater, and an auto-lock building security system. The building is equipped with an elevator, a parcel delivery box, and uses propane gas.
Special notes regarding fees are critical: This is a fixed-term rental contract for two years, and early termination incurs a penalty fee. If you have a pet, an additional ¥5,000 will be added to the monthly rent. For the 2nd-floor unit, which has no parking, the rent is ¥59,000. For units on the 3rd floor and above, which include one parking space (a second car can be parked off-site), the rent ranges from ¥62,000 to ¥65,000.
The monthly rent ranges from ¥59,000 to ¥65,000, with a monthly common area fee of ¥5,000. The security deposit and key money are each one month's rent. There is no guarantee money and no agency commission fee, helping to keep initial moving costs lower (estimated from around ¥270,000). The renewal fee is 0.5 months' rent. A guarantor company is required, and passing the review by Zenporen is a condition for moving in.
The location is near the Hiyagon intersection in Okinawa City's Hiyagon 4-chome. The bus stop "Hiyagon" is about a one-minute walk away. The area offers good access, with Rycom (likely meaning Ryukyu Mura or a similar landmark) being a 5-minute drive and the Kshaba entrance to the highway being 10 minutes away. The property is pet-friendly, allowing small dogs or up to two cats.
