Condos in Yodogawa cost about ¥0.6M per m² in 2025, up from about ¥0.23M in 2015. Prices per m² have risen almost 9% a year for ten years. The ward is now about 1.1 times the Osaka Prefecture average, up from 0.8 times ten years ago. The median condo sold for about ¥18M.
People are moving in
In 2025 Yodogawa had a net inflow from the rest of Japan of about 9.7 per 1,000 residents, third among Osaka's 24 wards. Population grew 3.7% between 2020 and 2025.
Cheap studios, high yields
More than half of condo sales are studios, typically 20 m² at about ¥17M. A median condo costs only about 25 years of median rent, much better than the Osaka average of 32. Condos lose value quickly: half the price is gone by about 27 years old.
Station distance matters a lot

Flood risk and renewal
Every benchmark site is in the worst-case flood zone, about a third at 3 m or deeper, and about two-thirds are in a tsunami zone, as the ward lies along the Yodo and Kanzaki rivers. The Shin-Osaka Station area is an Urgent Urban Renewal Area, and the planned Hokuriku and Linear Shinkansen links could add demand.
