Tokyo / Small House (Max 9) affordable share houses (lowest price)
Sorted by the lowest monthly rent for private rooms and dormitories, cheapest first.
- 20s/30s mainly
- Private from ¥41,000
- Int'l-friendly
If you want to avoid the dormitory-style living of large share houses in Tokyo but feel uneasy about living alone, a small-scale house with 9 or fewer residents is the ideal choice, offering a perfect balance of privacy and a sense of community.
For a good balance between access to the city center and rent, areas like Koenji and Nakano on the Chuo Line, Meidaimae on the Keio Line, and Gakugei-daigaku on the Tokyu lines are recommended. At this scale, common areas are less crowded, and detached-house options are also easy to find.
