Is Hirai Station a good fit for living alone?

Hirai Station is in Edogawa City and served by JR Chuo-Sobu Line. With supermarkets and convenience stores nearby for everyday needs, it's a solid choice even for a first time living alone.

I want to keep rent as low as possible.

Stations without express-train stops, or a 10+ minute walk from the station, tend to have lower rent — and a furnished apartment means no extra cost for furniture.
