Prices are accelerating
Nakamura Ward includes Nagoya Station and the old neighbourhoods to its west. Condos cost about ¥0.75M per m² in 2025, up from ¥0.30M in 2015, second among Nagoya's 16 wards. Prices per m² rose about 11% a year over the past five years, faster than before. Nakamura is now about twice the Aichi average, up from 1.3 times ten years ago.
The Chuo Shinkansen
Nagoya Station is being rebuilt for the maglev Chuo Shinkansen to Tokyo, and the station area is an Urgent Urban Renewal Area. New towers near the station explain much of the price rise.
Two very different areas
Condos near Nagoya, Kokusai-Center, Honjin and Komeno sell at about ¥0.7–1.1M per m². Nakamura-Koen, Iwatsuka and Hatta in the west sell at about ¥0.26–0.36M. Condos within 5 minutes of a station sell for about 61% more per m² than those 11–15 minutes away. Condos also lose value fast: half the price is gone by about 22 years old.
Growth
Population grew 5.2% between 2020 and 2025, and households 10%. The median condo sold for about ¥22M. A median condo costs about 32 years of median rent, close to the Aichi average.
High natural risk
Almost every benchmark site (98%) is in the worst-case flood zone, mostly shallow, and about 10% in a tsunami zone, as the ward lies on low land near the Shonai river. Earthquake probability is high: about 71% for 6-lower and 33% for 6-upper in 30 years, because of the Nankai Trough and soft ground.
