Soka-Matsubara Danchi 草加松原団地

As noted in the post Danchi train stations in Japan 日本では「団地」駅:

Matsubaradanchi Station 松原団地駅まつばらだんち (map), in Soka, Saitama 埼玉県草加市, is a 40-minute train ride north of Tokyo Station. The station is named after Soka-Matsubaradanchi 草加松原団地（そうかまつばらだんち）, a mammoth housing complex completed in 1964.

The complex is undergoing a multi-year project to replace the old buildings with newer apartments under the name Comfort Matsubara コンフォール松原.

The following blog post, titled “Matsubaradanchi Showa scenery”, has some nice pictures from 2012.

When first built, the buildings were a stark contrast to the surrounding farmland. (source)

The danchi originally had 4 sections: A, B, C. D. Section A, closest to the train station, has been demolished and replaced with newer buildings, Comfort Matsubara UR都市機構コンフォール松原, administered by UR, Japan’s semipublic housing agency.
