my3rdlang Posted March 30, 2009 at 01:54 PM Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 at 01:54 PM I live in JingAn district (about 2km north of JingAn subway station). I pay RMB2500/month for a 35m2 studio apartment furnished with a stove, small washing machine, TV, fridge, microwave, bed, wardrobe. Rent per m2 = RMB71.4/month In my opinion, my rent is a lil high (considering it is quite a walk to the nearest subway station, I work a 9-5:30 job & don't use half the stuff they furnished). I have searched for average rents in Shanghai/average rents in JingAn district online but couldn't really find anything. I don't really trust agents as they tend to offer places with higher rents to foreigners. Would love to hear your opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymoose Posted March 30, 2009 at 02:26 PM Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 at 02:26 PM Well, for comparison, I'm paying 3200RMB/month for a 60m2 apartment in Xujiahui. Yours sounds a bit on the expensive side, given the size, but it's not outrageously expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedge Posted March 30, 2009 at 02:57 PM Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 at 02:57 PM I don't consider that bad, though I don't know the general quality of your apartment. I also live in Jing'an, renting a fully furnished, what I consider to be a high quality apartment, for 7000 RMB/month (70m2). I consider my rent to be too high though (especially with the current currency situation) and will be moving to Pudong when my contract expires.

roddy Posted March 30, 2009 at 03:59 PM Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 at 03:59 PM Don't know about prices in Shanghai, but can I just point to the Your Accommodation in China topic - lots of examples of where people are living for comparison, and if you can add yours (if you haven't already) you'll be much loved forever.

gato Posted March 30, 2009 at 04:11 PM Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 at 04:11 PM Jing'an District is just about the most expensive district in Shanghai, so your rent isn't that bad, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
