Renovated / 40%+ male residents affordable share houses (lowest private-room price)
Listings with private rooms, sorted by the lowest monthly rent — cheapest first.
- 20s/30s mainly
- Private from ¥31,500
- Int'l-friendly
If you want a clean, modern interior but find female-only properties a bit too restrictive, a renovated share house with at least 40% male residents is a practical middle ground.
In areas like Nakano and Koenji along the Chuo Line, or Meidaimae on the Keio Line—all with easy access to the city center—you can find older properties with fully updated plumbing and common areas. Because they have been renovated, you won't have to worry about the wear and tear of an older building, and the higher ratio of male residents often makes it easier to align your daily rhythm with others.
- If prioritizing a higher ratio of male residents is your top concern, please see our list of male-friendly share houses.
- If you are looking primarily for modern facilities, our list of renovated share houses is a great place to start.
