Key Highlights
The most favorable location(s) chosen by affluent Modern Standard users "Toyosu" boosts up for 15 places from last year and tops the list as No.1
The location that tops the list of 2023 is "Toyosu (Koto-Ku)''. It was only at the 16th place in last year's report and has jumped for 15 places and is the No1 most favorable location this year. This is also the very first time a location in Koto-Ku has been chosen by our wealthy class users. Toyosu has become a popular location among affluent (young) couples and families in recent years with the redevelopment of the area, especially the redevelopment and the construction of luxury high rise apartments targeting these people. For example, "BRANZ TOWER TOYOSU" listed on Modern Standard (RENOSY), a high-rise apartment with 48-story of layout that was built in 2021 is a popular choice for customers looking for luxury rental condos.
Akasaka is one place down and comes in second place this year. No 3 is Ebisu (Shibuya-Ku) which is 6 places up compared to last year. Ebisu is popular mostly among young singles who work in IT companies (engineers or other related positions for the most part). These IT companies are mostly scattered around Shibuya, which is quite close to Ebisu. One of the reasons for Ebisu to rank in this list is that the place attracts many young IT workers with good salary packages which boost up the need for rental apartments in this area and the average annual salary figure of Ebisu.
No 4 is Roppongi (Minato-Ku), No 5 is Mita (Minato-Ku), No 6 is Kachidoki (Chuo-Ku), No7 is Jingumae (Shibuya-Ku), and Nishi-Shinjuku (Shinjuku-Ku) listed in as No 9. Nishi-Shinjuku, Akasaka (No 2) and Ebisu (No 3) are the three locations that have been in the top 10 for 3 years in a roll (※1)
