4-bedroom sophistication crafted for modern city living

First rental means everything in this residence feels pristine, from the freshly finished walls to the immaculate fittings. This four-bedroom, three-bath home at West Bund Central Residences is designed to maximize comfort and daylight. Floor-to-ceiling windows capture the soft riverside glow, while a private balcony opens to fresh air for morning coffee or a quiet read at sunset. The plan separates entertaining and restful zones, giving you a serene primary suite with a soaking bathtub, two versatile family bedrooms, and a flexible fourth room that can serve as a study or guest suite.

Year-round comfort is assured with heating and air conditioning, complemented by high-speed WiFi for seamless work calls and streaming. The apartment’s fully renovated interiors employ a clean, international palette that pairs easily with contemporary or classic furnishings. Subtle lighting, sound-insulating windows, and generous storage help create a calm, hotel-like atmosphere without sacrificing the warmth of a private home.

Entertain in a bright living-dining area that flows naturally to the outdoor space, ideal for weekend brunches or evening apéritifs. Practical touches abound, from well-planned bathrooms to easy-to-maintain surfaces. Thoughtful design, light, and layout come together to offer an elevated, ready-to-move-in base in one of Shanghai’s most dynamic riverside districts.

A refined urban enclave with a West Bund address

West Bund Central Residences stands out for its quietly polished atmosphere and its balance of privacy and connection. The compound’s entry sequence sets a calm tone, leading to thoughtfully landscaped communal areas where residents can decompress, take a stroll with a pet, or catch up with neighbors. Architecture is contemporary and restrained, emphasizing clean lines, abundant glass, and a clear sense of arrival.

International residents appreciate the well-organized management and clear communication, which make everything from move-in to maintenance feel straightforward. Access control and staffed reception points contribute to a secure, low-stress daily rhythm. Inside, corridors and lobbies are bright and uncluttered, finished in timeless materials that age gracefully.

Practicality is at the core of the compound experience: predictable logistics for deliveries and ride-hailing pick-ups, sheltered drop-off zones during rainy weeks, and intuitive wayfinding for guests. The immediate surroundings are pedestrian friendly, with flat routes ideal for strollers and bikes, while the compound’s location near Damuqiao Road places residents at a comfortable distance from the bustle without feeling remote.

For residents who travel often, the address offers efficient links by car to key city arteries, while multiple metro options are within easy reach by bike or a short ride. The result is a polished, international-standard base that makes daily life in Shanghai both convenient and quietly elegant.

Xuhui Riverside: culture, green space, and everyday convenience

Set between the river and the historic heart of Puxi, the Xuhui Riverside area has matured into one of Shanghai’s most livable precincts for expats. The West Bund waterfront unfurls with kilometers of landscaped paths for jogging and cycling, punctuated by artful seating, river overlooks, and lawns where families picnic on clear weekends. Cultural landmarks such as Yuz Museum, Long Museum West Bund, and Tank Shanghai keep a lively calendar of exhibitions, making world-class art a regular part of daily life.

Dining skews cosmopolitan, from third-wave coffee and artisanal bakeries to chef-driven bistros tucked along Longteng Avenue. Groceries are straightforward too, with premium supermarkets and specialty stores reachable by a short drive or quick delivery. For fashion and dining sprees, Huaihai Road and central Xuhui‘s malls are close enough for an impromptu evening out yet far enough to preserve the area’s calmer, residential feel.

Commuting is practical: Damuqiao Road connects swiftly to key city routes, while metro interchanges in the vicinity offer multiple lines toward business hubs on both sides of the river. Cyclists will appreciate the flat terrain and comprehensive bike lanes, and ride-hailing is reliably prompt. Weekdays feel efficient; weekends feel restorative, with the riverfront’s blend of culture and green space always within easy reach.

Why expats choose this home
