The fastest-growing city in Chiba

Nagareyama grew 7.6% between 2020 and 2025, the most of any city in Chiba, while Chiba Prefecture shrank slightly. In 2025 it had a net inflow from the rest of Japan of about 11 per 1,000 residents, second in Chiba only to Chuo Ward of Chiba City. The city has marketed itself to young families, with daycare drop-off stations and new schools along the Tsukuba Express.

Land prices rising fast

Benchmark residential land rose 13.3% in the past year, one of the fastest rises of any city in Japan outside Tokyo, and 47% over five years. Condo prices per m² have grown about 10% a year over the past five years.

Why the 2025 median dropped

The median condo fell from about ¥38M in 2024 to ¥26M in 2025. This was mainly a change in what sold: the median condo sold in 2025 was 28 years old, against 20 years in 2024, so more older flats in older districts changed hands.

Two Nagareyamas

Nagareyama-Otakanomori, the new town on the Tsukuba Express, sells condos at about ¥0.85M per m². Older areas such as Edogawadai and Hatsuishi sell at a fraction of that. Condos within 5 minutes of a station sell for almost twice as much per m² as those 11–15 minutes away. Almost all condo sales are 3LDKs and 4LDKs.

Houses and yields

About 230 houses sold in 2025, at a median of about ¥49M. A median condo costs about 31 years of median rent, close to the Chiba average.

Risks

About 43% of benchmark sites are in the worst-case flood zone, and about a third in zones of 3 m or deeper, along the Edo and Tone rivers. The newer areas on the higher land are safer. Earthquake probability (about 57%) is lower than in the Chiba bay cities.

Median price per m² by yearHouses are the better deal on space — A m² of house floor space costs about 8% less than a m² of condo, even though the house price includes land. If you need room more than convenience, a house buys considerably more space. That gap has widened over the decade as condo prices pulled ahead.

Price per m² by building age (2021–2025 sales)Houses bottom out at around 34 years — House prices per m² drop about 58% from new by age 34, then flatten, because by then buyers are mostly paying for the land. A house older than that costs little more than its plot, a good option if you plan to renovate or rebuild.

About this data

Figures are medians of real transactions reported to Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) through its quarterly price survey. House prices per m² divide the total price (land and building) by the floor area. Medians based on fewer than 20 sales are not shown. The latest quarters are preliminary and are revised as more survey responses arrive.
