Refined 2-Bed, 2-Bath City Retreat

This fully renovated apartment in Casa Lakeville blends polished design with everyday practicality, ideal for professionals or a couple who value calm in the heart of Xintiandi. A bright open-plan living and dining area flows onto a private outdoor balcony, perfect for morning coffee or an evening wind-down. The kitchen features gas cooking, full-sized appliances, and generous cabinetry tailored for real home cooking rather than weekend reheats.

Both bedrooms are well-proportioned. The primary suite includes built-in wardrobes and an elegant en-suite bathroom with a modern bathtub for spa-like soaks after a long day. The second bedroom offers flexibility as a serene guest room or dedicated home office. Double-glazed windows, heating and air conditioning, and quality finishes create a quiet, climate-stable interior year-round. High-speed WiFi keeps streaming, calls, and remote work effortless.

Thoughtful upgrades continue throughout: durable flooring underfoot, soft-close storage, and layered lighting for entertaining or focused work. Practicalities are covered with in-unit laundry, secure entry, and on-site maintenance via Casa Lakeville’s professional management. The result is a turnkey home with an understated, international aesthetic and a floor plan that makes daily life smooth from the first day you move in.

Casa Lakeville: Privileged Living Beside Taipingqiao Park

Casa Lakeville sits within the acclaimed Taipingqiao masterplan in Xintiandi, prized for its landscaped avenues, calm courtyards, and immediate access to the lakeside park. The compound’s architecture pairs modern towers with generous setbacks, creating light, air, and privacy rarely found in the city center. Residents step into refined lobbies with attentive concierge service and enjoy the reassurance of 24-hour security and professional, bilingual property management.

Daily life is made seamless with well-maintained common areas, serene gardens, and discreet facilities. Many households choose Casa Lakeville for its family-friendly planning: wide internal paths for strollers, safe play zones, and easy elevator access from underground parking. A comprehensive clubhouse environment is typical here, bringing together fitness facilities, an indoor pool, and spaces to unwind or work quietly between meetings. It is a community that feels both international and neighborly.

What sets Casa Lakeville apart is consistency. Maintenance standards are high, common areas are polished, and resident services are responsive, from appliance support to move-in logistics. Whether you are entertaining colleagues or hosting visiting family, the compound projects quiet confidence and urban polish. In short, Casa Lakeville provides a reliable, elegant base that lets you focus on life in Shanghai, not the small hassles of apartment living.

Xintiandi: Heritage Streets, Cosmopolitan Rhythm

Living at Casa Lakeville places you in Xintiandi, one of Shanghai’s most walkable neighborhoods. The area’s restored Shikumen lanes frame a vibrant pedestrian district with cafes, bakeries, and destination restaurants alongside thoughtful boutiques. Early mornings bring joggers around Taipingqiao Park, while evenings hum with terrace dinners and soft jazz drifting from lounges.

Connectivity is effortless. You are a short walk to Xintiandi Station on Lines 10 and 13, and close to South Huangpi Road Station on Line 1, linking quickly to People’s Square, Jing’an, and Lujiazui. Huaihai Middle Road, a classic shopping boulevard, is nearby for everyday essentials and upscale retail. Cultural notes are never far: the Shikumen Museum, contemporary galleries, and seasonal design fairs offer an engaging calendar without needing a taxi.

What expats value most is the balance: a neighborhood that feels unmistakably Shanghai yet communicates easily in English. Supermarkets, international coffee chains, specialty grocers, and boutique fitness studios are sprinkled within a 5 to 10-minute walk. On weekends, brunch spots fill with a friendly, global crowd, and the park becomes a favorite spot for picnics and children’s scooters. Xintiandi delivers a lifestyle that is social, convenient, and unmistakably urban, with Casa Lakeville as your quiet vantage point.

Why This Home Works For International Residents

Effortless daily rhythm. At Casa Lakeville, mornings start with a park-side jog, a flat white from your favorite cafe, and a five-minute stroll to the metro. Evenings end on your balcony or at a new restaurant around the corner. Everything you need sits within a compact, walkable radius.

Comfort that travels well. The fully renovated interior, dependable heating and air conditioning, and well-insulated windows deliver a comfortable, quiet environment. Thoughtful storage and a proper bathtub make it easy to settle in for the long term, not just pass through.

International-friendly services. Casa Lakeville’s professional management, secure entry, and on-site maintenance reduce friction when you’re new to the city. Clear communication, tidy common areas, and responsive support mean less time troubleshooting and more time exploring.

Urban calm, central address. You’re steps from dining, shopping, and culture, yet the compound’s landscaped spaces and polished lobbies create a considered buffer from the city’s energy. It’s a refined, convenient choice that respects your time and enhances your Shanghai experience.
