The Ikebukuro, Akabane, and Nerima areas are popular choices because they offer easy, direct access to the city center while keeping rent affordable.
In Toshima Ward, Ikebukuro serves as a hub for the Yamanote, Marunouchi, and Saikyo lines, providing direct access to Shinjuku and Shibuya. Akabane in Kita Ward is convenient for travel to and from the Omiya area and Saitama via the Keihin-Tohoku and Shonan-Shinjuku lines. Nerima and Itabashi Wards feature quiet residential neighborhoods along the Seibu Ikebukuro and Tobu Tojo lines, while Bunkyo Ward offers a peaceful, academic atmosphere. Rent prices are more reasonable than in the city center, making it easier to find properties that meet specific needs, such as double occupancy or permission for musical instruments.

- For modern facilities: Renovated share houses
- For musicians: Share houses that allow musical instruments
