Elegant 5-bedroom duplex villa tailored for modern family living

This fully renovated villa in The Emerald blends calm, natural light, and functional design. The main living area opens through floor-to-ceiling windows to a landscaped private garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and outdoor space. A generous terrace invites slow weekend breakfasts, children’s play, or relaxed entertaining, while the dedicated parking space makes daily life effortless.

Five well-proportioned bedrooms and five bathrooms give every family member privacy. The principal suite includes a bathtub that turns evening routines into a quiet ritual, and guest rooms can double as a home office or hobby space. The duplex layout smartly separates social zones from restful quarters, helping the household flow naturally throughout the day.

Year-round comfort is assured by central air conditioning for Shanghai’s humid summers and dependable heating for crisp winters. The renovation favors timeless finishes and tactile materials that wear gracefully. Integrated WiFi points support smooth streaming and remote work, while wide openings and sightlines make supervising younger children simple. With outdoor space on two levels, you can host a barbecue, create a herb garden, or simply unwind with a book in leafy privacy. Thoughtful storage and a practical, easy-care layout round out a home designed for daily life to feel calm, organized, and quietly luxurious in The Emerald.

Life inside The Emerald

The Emerald (known locally as Lü Bao Yuan) is a low-density villa community in Kangqiao where wide internal lanes, mature trees, and manicured landscaping create a restful rhythm to daily life. Homes sit well back from the roads, and the overall atmosphere feels neighborly without being intrusive. It is a setting that suits morning dog walks, kids on scooters, and unhurried weekend strolls.

Security is sensibly organized with gated access and attentive on-site staff, helping residents feel at ease when traveling or receiving deliveries. Maintenance is responsive and practical, and the shared areas are kept tidy, which makes a noticeable difference to everyday quality of life. Families appreciate the discreet pocket play areas and green belts dotted around the community, as well as the clear road layout that keeps traffic calm inside the compound.

For newcomers to Shanghai, The Emerald is valued for its balance: the scale and privacy of villa living with the convenience of a managed environment. The community composition is international and family oriented, so it is easy to pick up recommendations for trusted drivers, clinics, and activity clubs. Whether you prefer quiet evenings in the garden or casual get-togethers with neighbors, the compound’s ambiance supports both. It is the kind of place where routines quickly feel established and where the everyday logistics of urban life become refreshingly simple.

Kangqiao: space, convenience, and international ease

Kangqiao in Pudong offers a calmer rhythm than Shanghai’s core while keeping key destinations within easy reach. From The Emerald, drivers connect smoothly to the Outer and Middle Ring roads, making commutes to Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park or Longyang Road straightforward and airport runs predictable outside peak rush hours. For weekend fun, Shanghai Disney Resort is a comfortable drive, and riverside paths and canal-side greenways nearby make casual jogging and cycling refreshing.

The daily essentials are well covered. You will find modern supermarkets, cafes, and family-friendly restaurants around Hunan Road and Xiuyan Road, plus destination retail at Aegean Place Kangqiao for broader dining and shopping options. International schooling is a highlight of the area, with Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong within convenient driving distance and additional bilingual and international campuses spread across Pudong’s education corridor.

Public transport links continue to expand across Pudong, and ride-hailing is reliable at virtually any hour. What residents value most, though, is the balance: Kangqiao feels spacious and breathable, with enough local life to be interesting but not overwhelming. Living here delivers the rare Shanghai combination of backyard greenery, efficient connections, and a supportive expat community that shares practical advice, from medical providers to weekend sports clubs.

Why this villa at The Emerald works so well

Space where it matters: Five bedrooms and five bathrooms allow everyone to have a quiet corner, while the duplex layout separates entertaining downstairs from restful zones upstairs. If you work from home, a spare room converts easily into a calm office without sacrificing guest space.

Outdoor living made easy: A private garden and terraces extend your living room outdoors. Children can play within sight of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and adults can host relaxed barbecues or cultivate a small kitchen garden. The dedicated parking space removes daily friction.

Comfort for Shanghai’s seasons: Central air conditioning tames humid summers, while dependable heating keeps winters cozy. A proper bathtub turns cold evenings into a welcome pause. The fully renovated interiors use durable finishes that clean easily and age well.

Ready for modern life: Stream, zoom, and game smoothly with integrated WiFi points. Storage and circulation are thoughtfully planned, so school bags, bikes, and strollers have a home rather than a hallway. The overall flow encourages calm routines and low-maintenance living.

Community and convenience: The Emerald offers the ease of a managed compound within the international comfort of Kangqiao. You are close to reputable schools, well-stocked supermarkets, and family activities, with quick access to ring roads for city-wide connections. It is a pragmatic, elegant base for families who want breathing room without giving up urban convenience.
