About 396 stations are within a 30-minute commute of Meguro, expanding to 718 stations within 45 minutes. The average rent benchmark for the 45-minute commute zone is around ¥95,700. As a hub served by four lines — the JR Yamanote Line, Tokyu Meguro Line, Tokyo Metro Namboku Line, and Toei Mita Line — Meguro is easy to reach both from the Shinagawa/Kanagawa side and from northern central Tokyo and Saitama.
Meguro sits on the southwestern arc of the Yamanote Line and has developed as the western edge of the business corridor that runs through Shinagawa, Osaki, and Gotanda. Corporate headquarters in manufacturing, printing, publishing, and consulting — including the Fujifilm head office — are scattered around the area, and redevelopment near the station has added a growing number of mid-size office buildings. Corporate and professional-services roles make up a large share of jobs here, and commuters tend to skew toward a more settled age range.
The commute zone is especially well covered in the north-south direction. The Tokyu Meguro Line reaches Ookayama, Denenchofu, and Musashikosugi without a transfer; the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line covers Shirokanedai, Azabu-juban, and Komagome; and the Toei Mita Line runs direct to Sugamo and Itabashi. The Yamanote Line puts both Ebisu/Shibuya and Shinagawa within 10 minutes, and a transfer to the Yokosuka Line connects smoothly to areas south of Musashikosugi.
If you want to keep rent down, realistic candidates include Nishi-Koyama and Senzoku on the Tokyu Meguro Line, Yutenji and Gakugei-daigaku on the Tokyu Toyoko Line (transfer at Nakameguro), Nishidai and Hasune on the Toei Mita Line, and Shinmaruko and Motosumiyoshi heading south on the Tokyu Meguro Line. For those prioritizing a short commute, Togoshi and Oimachi in Shinagawa Ward and the Unoki and Yaguchinowatashi areas on the Tokyu Tamagawa Line are also popular.
