Light-filled, fully renovated 1-bedroom in Huashan Building

First rental after a top-to-bottom makeover, this one-bedroom home in Huashan Building has been reimagined for comfortable city living. The layout balances openness and privacy: a bright living area for unwinding and a serene bedroom sized for a queen bed with a proper wardrobe wall. New finishes throughout lend a calm, cohesive palette that makes furnishing effortless.

The brand-new kitchen is designed for daily cooking, with an induction cooktop, quality cabinetry, durable stone-style counters, and thoughtful task lighting. The spa-style bathroom features a walk-in shower with excellent water pressure and ventilation, plus built-in storage to keep surfaces clear. Double-glazed windows and modern insulation help soften city noise while keeping energy use sensible.

Comfort is enhanced by new split air-conditioning and heating in both the living room and bedroom, easy-care flooring, and upgraded electrical and plumbing. Smart touches like layered lighting, plentiful outlets, and discreet storage nooks make work-from-home and everyday routines feel seamless. Set just off Xinhua Road, the apartment enjoys a leafy, neighborhood outlook with quick access to cafes and conveniences on Xingfu Road. With everything pristine and unused, moving in is as simple as bringing your suitcase.

Quiet urban living in Huashan Building

Huashan Building, known in Chinese as Huàshān Dàlóu, is a classic mid-rise residence tucked along Xingfu Road, moments from the tree-lined avenues of Xinhua Road. The building’s scale is human and welcoming, with an understated lobby, elevator access, and a secure entry system that ensures privacy for residents. Daily upkeep of common areas keeps corridors and shared spaces tidy, and there is convenient bike parking for those who prefer to cycle the neighborhood.

Residents appreciate the building’s straightforward functionality: on-site property management for parcels and maintenance requests, reliable utilities compatible with high-speed broadband, and thoughtfully lit pathways for late-evening returns. Without the fuss of large-club facilities, Huashan Building offers an easy, low-maintenance lifestyle that suits busy professionals and couples who value time over chores.

At street level, you’re steps from the everyday essentials that make city life flow: a choice of local breakfast shops for fresh soy milk and jianbing, small grocers and fruit stands on Xingfu Road, and a selection of independent coffee spots and bakeries within a short walk. It’s a calm home base in a well-connected pocket of the city, where you can retreat from the buzz without losing proximity to it.

Xinhua Road area: heritage streets, cosmopolitan rhythm

The Xinhua Road neighborhood is one of Shanghai’s most charming enclaves, celebrated for its historic garden villas and broad canopies of plane trees. Life moves at a slightly gentler pace here: morning dog walkers, neighbors chatting at the corner fruit stand, and quiet side lanes that reward aimless strolls. Yet you’re never far from the action. Well-curated cafes, wine bars, and artisanal bakeries cluster around Xinhua and nearby Anfu and Hunan Roads, inviting unhurried weekends and easy meetups.

Culture and leisure are close at hand. The Shanghai Film Art Center is within the broader area for repertory screenings and premieres, while intimate live-music venues and boutique fitness studios dot adjacent streets. Green escapes like Zhongshan Park are a short cycle away for jogs or picnics. Commuting is straightforward: multiple metro options, including Lines 10 and 11, place Jing’an, Xintiandi, and Hongqiao within a short ride, and Line 2 connections are just a couple of stops away for cross-town trips.

Day to day, Xinhua Road blends international convenience with local texture. You can pick up specialty groceries and imported essentials, but also find a trusted wet market and family-run noodle shops. It’s this mix of refinement and authenticity that makes the area so appealing to expats who want Shanghai’s dynamism without sacrificing neighborhood warmth.
