Refined city living with comfort in every detail

This thoughtfully fully renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence in Wellington Garden blends contemporary finishes with the calm of a mature community off Huaihai West Road. The layout separates entertaining and rest, with an inviting living-dining area that welcomes natural light throughout the day. Both bedrooms are proportioned for real-life needs, offering space for wardrobes and work-from-home setups.

The primary bathroom features a proper bathtub for unhurried evening soaks, a genuine perk in Shanghai where many homes offer showers only. Year-round comfort comes via air conditioning and heating, so summer humidity and winter chills are kept firmly at bay. In the kitchen, reliable gas cooking makes easy work of weeknight meals and weekend brunches. The apartment is already wired with WiFi, keeping video calls crisp and streaming smooth from move-in day.

Quality materials, neutral tones, and practical storage give the home a polished yet relaxed character that’s easy to personalize. Large windows bring in treetop views typical of this lane address, creating an appealing sense of privacy while still being moments from Xujiahui‘s energy. If you are seeking a turn-key home base that offers serenity after a busy day, Wellington Garden delivers a refined, comfortable setting that is both familiar and distinctly Shanghai.

Wellington Garden – a calm, well-kept community off Huaihai West Road

Wellington Garden sits discreetly along a quiet lane, offering the kind of everyday ease expats appreciate: tidy pathways, mature greenery, and attentive on-site gatekeeping. The compound’s scale feels human and livable, with buildings arranged to maximize light and airflow rather than crowding residents. This creates a pleasant micro-neighborhood where you can step outside for a short stroll, park a bicycle with ease, and return home without navigating a vast, anonymous complex.

Residents value the sense of order here. Entrances are clearly marked, common areas are maintained to a consistent standard, and the management team keeps the grounds in good working order. While amenities are intentionally low-key, the essentials are done well: dependable utilities, organized parcel handling, and helpful security presence that recognizes regular faces. It suits those who favor a peaceful base close to the action rather than a resort-style compound.

Another advantage of Wellington Garden is its connection to daily conveniences. Within walking distance you will find neighborhood cafes, fruit vendors, and small eateries that serve lunch to office workers and dinner to families, offering a slice of local life that’s welcoming without being hectic. For residents seeking a comfortable, unpretentious environment that makes everyday routines straightforward, Wellington Garden provides a balanced home setting in the heart of Xuhui.

Xujiahui living – energetic, connected, and easy to settle into

Positioned near the commercial hub of Xujiahui, Wellington Garden places you within easy reach of shopping, dining, and green spaces without sacrificing neighborhood calm. The Xujiahui Station interchange on Lines 1, 9, and 11 links you across the city: Line 1 runs straight to People’s Square and Jing’an Temple, while Lines 9 and 11 open convenient routes to cultural venues and office districts. Taxis are plentiful on Huaihai West Road, and cycling is a practical option for short hops to parks and cafes.

For everyday needs, you’ll find supermarkets, bakeries, and coffee spots around the main Xujiahui crossroads. Larger malls such as Grand Gateway 66 and Metro City offer international and local brands, quick-service dining, and practical services. On weekends, Xujiahui Park draws joggers, families, and readers seeking shade beneath plane trees, while the historic St. Ignatius Cathedral provides a striking architectural counterpoint to the area’s modern skyline.

What sets this pocket of Xuhui apart is its blend of efficiency and authenticity. You can pick up a barista-made flat white in the morning and sit down to a neighborhood noodle shop in the evening. From Wellington Garden, it’s straightforward to reach business districts and international schools by metro or car, yet the streets nearest home retain the slower rhythm of established residential lanes.
