Mejirodai Station

About This Station

Mejirodai Station on the Keio Takao Line serves a quiet residential suburb west of central Tokyo, ideal for commuters heading to Shinjuku. From here, a 14-minute bus plus 9-minute walk reaches Hachioji Station on the JR Chuo Line, offering rapid service to Shinjuku in about 40 minutes total—reliable door-to-door access without transfers. Properties average 26 million yen with 37 listings, supporting solid rental yields around 5% from salarymen and families drawn to low-density living. Neighborhoods feature local supermarkets, elementary schools, and parks, with Hachioji's larger amenities a short bus ride away; safety is high, walkability decent on flat terrain. Limited tourism appeal keeps short-term rentals unviable. Growth remains steady as Tokyo's fringe stabilizes, no major projects but consistent demand. Target single-family homes under 30 million yen for long-term tenants; avoid if car-free, as daily errands often need buses.
