My New Apartment in China | BARGAIN!!!

  • So, I'm finally moving apartments here in China. There has been new apartment buildings being built so I decided to price them up for rent. I viewed a couple of apartments and I fell in love with this one. It's 3 bedrooms, big, nice balcony, huge living area, and the price is so cheap, the rent price includes property fees. Apartment homes in China are very cheap and affordable. The best thing is, is that its brand new. It's great to find a luxurious apartment for a great price, I still can't believe how cheap it was to rent, definitely cheaper than the prices of apartments back home in the UK.
    China never stops building; they're always building new apartments and homes for people. Typically, apartments are rented furnished, which includes closets. Newer places may even have a walk-in closet, depending on the owner. In addition, the bed frame may have ample built-in storage space. Speaking of beds, mattresses in China are very hard as it's supposed to be good for your back.

    I've finally moved into my new apartment. I'm already settled and happy in my new home. Paying around £400 rent a month, and thats including property fees. Gas and electric is pretty cheap compared to back home in the UK. The reasons I left the old place is because the new pace is cheaper and more convenient for work, which is great

      Hi, the reason for the cheap price is the city I'm in, not the the building. I live outside of the big city so the price is dramatically down, I live 2 hours away from Shanghai, if I lived in Shanghai it would be impossible to pay this amount for this apartment, or any other big city in China

    2. Do you earn china currency or foreign currency?
    3. How long have you lived in China?
    4. Last question, What does living expenses look like? How affordable is housing? Or do you just rent there due to it being a "socialist communist" country?

      It's very cheap here, from food, to rent, to bills, very cheap, you can live without struggle here which is nice as I was struggling back home with bills, I can help my family back home from here 😊
      I rent here, I'd only ever buy a place if I did it with a partner in the future.I hope I answered your questions 😊
