A big jump relative to Kanagawa
Condos in Kawasaki Ward cost about ¥0.93M per m² in 2025, up from ¥0.42M in 2015. Prices per m² have risen about 8% a year for ten years. The ward is now about 1.5 times the Kanagawa average, up from 1.1 times ten years ago. The median condo sold for about ¥29M.
Kawasaki Station dominates
More than 1,000 of the ward's recorded condo sales are near Kawasaki Station, about ¥0.85M per m². Many are in large towers 10–15 minutes from the station, which is why condos farther from a station here cost more per m² than those near one. Kawasakidaishi and Daishibashi in the east are about 30% cheaper.
Studios and families
Half of condo sales are studios (20 m² 1K at about ¥22M). 3LDKs at about ¥41M are the second most traded. In 2025 about 1,700 more people moved in from the rest of Japan than left.
Yields and risks
A median condo costs about 34 years of median rent, close to the Kanagawa average. Every benchmark site is in the worst-case flood zone and almost all (94%) in a tsunami zone, because the ward is on low land at the mouth of the Tama river. Earthquake probability is about 68% for 6-lower in 30 years.
Renewal
Three Urgent Urban Renewal Areas are in the ward: Kawasaki Station, Hama-Kawasaki Station, and Haneda South–Tonomachi–Daishigawara, across the river from Haneda Airport.
