Real Estate

There's plenty of choice of housing in Shanghai, but there is no longer the excess of real estate that their once was. Prices are finally on the rise, but still a lot cheaper than anything you'd get back home.


Here is a rough guide to the types of housing available:


Expat Communities/Villas: They can be expensive, but they can feature gardens, split-level living, garages, full amenities and a health club somewhere close by. You will pay handsomely for this luxury. Most of the villa developments are in the Hongqiao and Gubei areas to the west of the city center. Two big ones, Tomson Golf Villa and Shanghai Links are in Pudong.


Old Villas: Much more classy, generally in the old French concession area. These are residences dating from before the Communist takeover in 1949. The Shanghailanders sure knew how to live in style. For old houses which have been properly renovated, with electrical and plumbing updated, prices can be high, but the location is great and comfort guaranteed. For those that haven't been renovated ... expect problems amidst the grandeur.


Expat Apartments: These range from luxurious to nice, and from downtown to Pudong, with prices varying accordingly.


Living with the Chinese: This is the cheapest way to go, and more and more foreigners are turning to this option. Many real estate agents are now able to provide an interpreter, though if language is a problem, you might want to bring a long a Chinese speaking friend.
