Expansive 8-bedroom villa crafted for comfort and flexibility

This generous villa for rent in Xujing balances space, privacy, and everyday practicality. With 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, it adapts gracefully to large families, multigenerational living, or those who need dedicated rooms for a home office, hobbies, or guests. The interiors benefit from central air conditioning and heating, ensuring year-round comfort during Shanghai’s humid summers and cool winters. Multiple living and dining areas invite relaxed gatherings, while a bathtub in select bathrooms offers a welcome end-of-day soak.

Outdoors, a private garden and usable outdoor space extend your living area into the fresh air. It is perfect for morning coffee, weekend barbecues, or a safe play zone for children and pets. A dedicated parking space makes daily comings and goings effortless, particularly valuable in this well-connected yet tranquil corner of western Shanghai.

Set within Dream House, the home offers a calm residential feel while remaining close to the cosmopolitan pulse of the Hongqiao area. The layout efficiently separates entertaining zones from quiet bedrooms, supporting both convivial hosting and restorative downtime.

Life inside Dream House

Dream House (Guan Ting) is a well-established villa community in Xujing designed for residents who value low-density living and a green, residential atmosphere. Tree-lined internal roads, neat landscaping, and the rhythm of a slower suburban pace set the tone. The compound’s layout emphasizes privacy and everyday ease, so families can walk, scooter, or cycle safely within the neighborhood while still feeling part of a community.

Residents appreciate the balance here: a peaceful enclave that remains practical for work and school runs. The atmosphere is friendly without being busy, with neighbors who greet one another and a mix of local and international residents that reflects Shanghai’s global spirit. The homes are planned with generous proportions and usable gardens, supporting the kind of lifestyle many expats seek when moving a little west of the inner ring.

While amenities vary from home to home, the overall feel of Dream House is that of a mature, thoughtfully maintained community. Controlled entry points and clearly marked internal lanes contribute to a sense of order and calm. It is an ideal base if you want suburban space without losing touch with city conveniences, positioning you close to Hongqiao’s business districts, transport links, and a growing selection of family-friendly dining and services.

Xujing, Qingpu: Suburban calm with city connections

Xujing sits on the western side of Shanghai, where space, greenery, and access meet. From Dream House, you are within easy reach of the Hongqiao business and transport hub, placing high-speed rail, domestic flights, and citywide Metro links at your disposal. Xujing East Station on Metro Line 2 is the gateway to Lujiazui, People’s Square, and Pudong, while nearby arterial roads connect efficiently to central districts for driving commutes.

The National Exhibition and Convention Center anchors a cluster of modern offices, shops, and dining, adding energy to the neighborhood without overwhelming its residential character. Weekends can be as urban or pastoral as you like: explore cafés around Hongqiao, or head further west to Qingpu‘s lakes, cycling routes, and the famed Zhujiajiao water town for a stroll along stone bridges and canals.

For families, the area is practical. International schools in the broader Hongqiao and Huacao corridors are a straightforward drive, and day-to-day life is supported by a growing network of bakeries, specialty grocers, and clinics that understand expatriate needs. Evenings are quiet, streets feel livable, and there is room to breathe. Xujing offers that sought-after blend of suburban ease and metropolitan access that makes settling into Shanghai feel both exciting and manageable.
