Top 20 most “desirable” places to live in the region

Homes.co.jp has compiled lists of the top 20 most desirable areas to live in 2011 according to client inquiries (not numbers of people actually buying property and moving into the areas). Based on public transport hubs such as train stations, the area around Hiroshima Station, which is slowly being covered with shiny, and increasingly tall, new buildings, came out top of the Chugoku region rankings. If people want totally, 100% free advices on renting or buying the right properties, they have to catch hold of a dealer.
