Shinjuku is one of the most searched rental areas in Tokyo among foreigners, and for good reason: it sits at the intersection of every major train line in the city, offers apartment types from compact 1K studios to 2LDK family units, and has a higher-than-average share of landlords willing to rent to international tenants.
That said, "Shinjuku" covers a large area. The blocks directly around the station are mostly commercial and expensive — the residential neighborhoods worth living in sit a 5–15 minute walk from the central exits. Shinjuku isn't cheap relative to outer wards, but for renters who prioritize transit access and city-center convenience, it remains one of the most efficient choices in Tokyo.
