At ¥7,300 a month this 65 sqm one-bedroom sits right at the bottom of comparable Huayang one-beds by rent per square metre, the 2nd percentile among 51 listings; an unusually low rate for a genuinely finished renovation. The kitchen is fully redone with marble-look counters, a built-in oven, gas hob and an in-unit washer, plus a frosted glass-block panel that lets light into the hallway without losing privacy. The bedroom window looks directly across a narrow gap at the neighbouring building, so don’t expect much of a view or natural privacy there.

A 5-minute walk to Zhongshan Park, in Changning‘s Huayang area, with Jiangsu Road metro station about 10 minutes away.
