A garden residential street where trees and walls have mattered for a hundred years
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
The core of this neighborhood is "Senzoku Denen Toshi" (Senzoku Garden City), which went on sale over a hundred years ago. In June 1922, Denen Toshi Co. released the first phase of 353 plots, with detailed rules: a building coverage ratio of 50%, no more than 3 stories, and fences that were either absent or, if present, had to be tasteful. Each plot also had a shii tree planted.
The land sold off back then covers about 70% of today's Senzoku 2-chome in Meguro City, and almost all of Koyama 7-chome in Shinagawa City. So this neighborhood spans both Meguro City and Shinagawa City, plus Senzoku 1-chome, Haramachi 2-chome, and Minami 1-chome around the station.
In 2020, about 12,000 people lived in this neighborhood, roughly 191 per hectare.
Based on our street photos, buildings rank 68th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the strongest ranking for this neighborhood.
Senzoku Station is the only station in Meguro City on the Tokyu Meguro Line, and there's a Tokyu Store right inside the station building. According to real estate listing pages, all 11 properties in Senzoku 2-chome list Senzoku Station, a 2-to-6-minute walk; 7 of the 8 properties in Koyama 7-chome, Shinagawa City, list Senzoku Station, a 3-to-6-minute walk.
Minami 1-chome is a bit farther from the station; of about 11 properties, 10 list Senzoku Station, requiring an 8-to-12-minute walk.
Sidewalks rank 369th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the weakest area for this neighborhood; daily shopping ranks 289th, also near the bottom.
Senzoku Station only serves Local trains; Express trains pass straight through without stopping. The nearest Oimachi Line station is Kitasenzoku Station, outside this neighborhood, which requires crossing Kan-nana Avenue and a walk of about 5 minutes.
The name Senzoku first belonged to the garden city, and only later became the station name. In October 1922, the garden city's water and sewage lines and road paving were completed, and Senzoku Station opened the following year on March 11.
The station was originally planned to be called Himonya Station, but was later changed to use the garden city's name; "Senzoku" itself comes from a legend about Senzokuike pond. In 1967, the line was moved underground to create a grade separation with Kan-nana Avenue; after the Meguro-Kamata Line split in two on August 6, 2000, Senzoku Station became a station on the Meguro Line.

Hospitals with inpatient beds (2020 data), public elementary and junior high schools whose catchment covers this area, high schools and universities within 1 km, stations, parks of 1 ha or more, and large shopping malls and department stores. Many Tokyo junior high students attend private schools, so junior high catchments are only a guide.
Maps show the shops and the sights. What a street is like, you only know by walking it. TidyMap uses AI street imagery analysis and public facility data to turn each area's street environment and everyday convenience into something you can compare.

How to read it: yellow = poor, blue = good; grey = not enough data
TidyMap rates the street environment and everyday convenience. It does not assess the home itself, safety, noise or actual living experience. Street environment scores use AI assessments of imagery; convenience scores use public facility data.
