Living in Hoshigaoka

A hilltop residential area in eastern Nagoya where department-store-level shopping is one minute away on foot, with the Mitsukoshi department store connected to the station and the open-air shopping mall Hoshigaoka Terrace. Designated as an educational district where universities cluster, it has a good school and school-district environment. It is cheaper than the downtown entertainment districts, but priced as an upscale residential area, somewhat higher than the Chikusa Ward average.

This is a leading upscale residential area in eastern Nagoya, on the subway Higashiyama Line. The Hoshigaoka Mitsukoshi department store, tidily maintained streets and a good school district make it very popular with family residents, and good public safety makes it stable. However, because it is a prime location, rents are on the high side. It especially suits families who value a tidy residential environment, shopping convenience and safety alike.
