A cheaper ward that people move to
Condos in Itabashi cost about ¥0.9M per m², about 0.8 times the Tokyo average and 20th among the 23 wards. The median condo sold for about ¥28M. In 2025 about 3,900 more people moved in from the rest of Japan than left, sixth among the wards, and households grew 5.5% between 2020 and 2025.
Steady growth
Condo prices per m² have risen about 6% a year for the past five years, the same pace as before. Benchmark residential land rose about 8% in the past year.
Two kinds of buyer
Almost half of condo sales are 25 m² 1K units at about ¥23M, many bought as rentals. 3LDKs at about ¥47M are the second most traded, and more than a quarter of sales are family-sized. A median condo costs about 32 years of median rent, one of the better ratios among the wards.
Station distance is a big deal
Condos within 5 minutes of a station sell for about 34% more per m² than those 11–15 minutes away, the third biggest gap among the wards. The Mita line stations in the north, such as Shimura-Sanchome and Hasune, are much cheaper (about ¥0.65–0.8M per m²) than Itabashikuyakushomae and Oyama on the south side (about ¥1.0M).
Flood risk in the north
About 40% of benchmark sites are in a flood zone, and about one in five is in a zone of 3 m or deeper. These are in the Takashimadaira and Shimura lowlands along the Arakawa river. The hills of the south are safer. Earthquake probability is near the ward average.
