Chevalier Place: an established enclave on Anfu Road

Chevalier Place (known locally as Yi Yuan) is an established residential compound discreetly set back from Anfu Road’s leafy bustle. Residents appreciate the sense of calm as soon as they enter: landscaped pathways, well-kept entrances, and quietly run common areas that are regularly maintained. The compound’s scale feels intimate rather than imposing, which helps cultivate a warm, neighborly atmosphere among long-term locals and international families alike.

Security and access are thoughtfully managed with controlled entry points and a visible on-site presence, lending peace of mind without fuss. Day-to-day life works smoothly here: package handling is straightforward, and maintenance assistance is responsive, which expats new to Shanghai often find invaluable. Elevators and wide lobbies make moving strollers or groceries easy, and there is ample room in the common zones to pause for a chat with neighbors.

What sets Chevalier Place apart is the way it buffers the city without feeling isolated. Step outside and you are moments from Anfu Road’s cafes and boutiques; step inside and you are in a calm, residential environment. For residents who value a considered home base with practical support, predictable upkeep, and thoughtful privacy, this compound delivers exactly that. It is an excellent match for those seeking a stable, well-managed address at the heart of the Former French Concession’s most coveted streets.

Hunan Road and Anfu Road: everyday life in the Former French Concession

Living at Chevalier Place places you at the intersection of Hunan Road and Anfu Road’s most charming pocket, where historic plane trees shade sidewalks lined with bakeries, galleries, and design-forward boutiques. The rhythm here is uniquely Xuhui: quiet mornings with neighborhood coffee, lively afternoons of browsing independent shops, and evenings spent at intimate wine bars tucked into heritage buildings. The lanes are walkable, bike-friendly, and inviting in all seasons.

Connectivity is excellent without compromising the residential feel. Changshu Road Station (Lines 1 and 7) and Shanghai Library Station (Line 10) are within a comfortable walk, offering quick access to key business districts and popular leisure areas. Daily shopping is easy, with specialty grocers on nearby Huaihai Middle Road and fresh produce stalls around Wulumuqi Road. Small pocket parks and the treelined streets themselves provide green relief, while cultural landmarks and restored villas along Wukang Road add an elegant backdrop to weekend strolls.

International families value the area’s services and familiarity. Reputable clinics are a short ride away, and many international schools operate bus routes through the Former French Concession. Above all, this neighborhood delivers a lifestyle that feels both cosmopolitan and deeply local: a place where you can greet your barista by name, discover a new gallery opening, and still be home in moments to the calm of Chevalier Place.
