I am assuming they mean the normal definition of 1K in Japanese - Like, 1 room plus kitchen.
MMM, I`m surprised you don`t know the abbreviations. There is 1-room, with just one room (obviously)... Then 1K for 1 room + kitchen, 1DK for one room + large enough kitchen to dine in there too, 1LDK for one bedroom + living dining and kitchen (usually just one big room but occasionally split into LD and K) and so on... I live in a 4LDK, which is 4 bedrooms, living, dining, and kitchen.
To the OP;
I`m curious - why are you limiting yourself to the Kanto area? If you`re worried about having enough money for living, it seems like it would make much more sense to live away from Kanto... If it`s city life you`re after it will be much much cheaper to live in a big city other than Tokyo rather than live kind of near Tokyo and pay tons to commute.
