Would you buy a detached home near Tokyo for $86,000 USD?
I gave myself a $90,000 budget and searched Yokohama, Japan’s second-largest city and one of the best places to live near Tokyo.
This 3DK home in Kohoku Ward is just a 10 minute walk from the nearest station and sits in a quiet residential neighborhood with easy access to Tokyo.
When most people think about buying a house near Tokyo, they expect a small apartment or a massive price tag. Finding a detached home in Yokohama for under $90,000 shows what’s still possible in Japan’s real estate market.
Would you buy it? What city should we search next?
