Sun City Ikeda: A Refurbished Apartment with Direct Station Access
This spacious 3LDK apartment is located on the 8th floor of the 12-storey Sun City Ikeda building in Ikeda City, Osaka. Priced at 49.8 million yen, the property features a renovated interior with a focus on modern living. The layout centers around a generous 15-tatami mat living-dining-kitchen area, with three independent Western-style rooms (5, 5, and 4.5 tatami mats), offering flexible and practical use of space.
The property has undergone a comprehensive renovation completed in August 2024, which included a full interior overhaul (floors, walls, ceilings, and fittings) and a complete renewal of the wet areas. The kitchen is a standout feature, adopting a convenient II-type (parallel) layout with a three-burner hob, grill, dishwasher, and ample storage, including a pantry. This setup is ideal for cooking enthusiasts. The bathroom is equipped with a relaxing bathtub, shower facilities, and a drying function. Other notable equipment includes a warm-water washlet toilet, a vanity with shower, built-in storage and closets in all rooms, walk-in closets, indirect and down lighting, a monitor intercom, and an indoor laundry space.
A key advantage of Sun City Ikeda is its direct connection to Hankyu Ikeda Station. The building's lower floors house commercial facilities, meaning residents can access the station, shopping, and dining without stepping outside in the rain. Monthly fees include 11,980 yen for management and 11,360 yen for repair reserves. The building is a sturdy steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) structure with two or more elevators, built in March 1987.
The area offers immense convenience for daily life, with a supermarket (Hankyu Oasis Ikeda) just 1 meter away and other amenities like convenience stores, banks, and a post office within easy walking distance. An interesting local fact is that Ikeda City is considered the birthplace of instant noodles, home to the Momofuku Ando Instant Ramen Museum. The closest major landmark is the scenic Minoh Falls (Minoh Park), a famous autumn leaf-viewing spot located a short train ride away in neighboring Minoh City.
