Contemporary comfort with rare conveniences

This Apartment for rent offers a thoughtful 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout that suits modern urban living. Tucked within a quiet residential lane just off Xujiahui Road, the home feels calm yet connected. The living and dining areas invite easy entertaining, while the separate bedrooms give privacy for roommates, a couple with a study, or a young family. A highlight is the full bathtub in one bathroom, a genuinely sought-after feature in Shanghai that transforms your evening routine into a restorative ritual. The second bathroom streamlines busy mornings and makes hosting overnight guests effortless.

Natural light filters into the living spaces, enhancing a neutral palette that is easy to personalize. The kitchen is sensibly arranged for daily cooking, with enough counter space to prep weekday meals and weekend brunches. Thoughtful storage solutions throughout help keep clutter at bay, so the apartment feels as tidy as it looks.

Set back from the main road inside Lane 135, the home benefits from reduced traffic noise while remaining a short stroll to dining, cafés, and the Dapuqiao metro interchange. In short, it blends the soft edges of neighborhood living with the hard-to-beat practicality of a central address. If you value serenity, convenience, and a liveable layout with two true bathrooms, this is a compelling match in Yongye Apartment.

Yongye Apartment: a calm enclave off Xujiahui Road

Yongye Apartment sits inside Lane 135 on Xujiahui Road, forming a discreet residential pocket that feels distinctly local yet undeniably central. The compound’s set-back position limits through-traffic, lending quieter walkways and a reassuring sense of privacy. Residents enter via a staffed gate where on-site personnel keep an eye on access and help coordinate deliveries, a practical advantage for anyone new to Shanghai’s fast-paced parcel culture.

Buildings are well kept and sensibly spaced for light and ventilation, with small green corners and communal paths that soften the urban backdrop. It is easy to lock up and go for work or weekend travel, and just as easy to return to a familiar, well-tended environment. You can expect standard conveniences typical of established central compounds: secure entry, routine maintenance, and areas for bicycles or e-bikes, useful if you commute or explore nearby neighborhoods on two wheels.

What sets Yongye Apartment apart is its balance of neighborhood authenticity and city access. Step out to cafés and local eateries, then retreat to a home base that feels removed from the bustle. For expats, it offers that rare middle ground: a compound that is straightforward to navigate, with predictable operations, in a location where you can get almost anywhere quickly without sacrificing peace at home.

Dapuqiao: creative energy meets effortless access

Anchored by the Dapuqiao metro interchange on Lines 9 and 12, this pocket of Huangpu is beloved for its blend of heritage lanes and contemporary city life. From Yongye Apartment, stroll to Tianzifang, where renovated shikumen alleys host design studios, craft shops, and intimate cafés. Evenings spill into cozy wine bars and bistros, while mornings bring slow coffee under plane trees that typify the former French Concession streetscapes nearby.

Daily errands are refreshingly easy. You will find convenience stores and local fruit vendors on Xujiahui Road, plus full-service malls by Dapuqiao Station for fashion, dining, and cinema. Need a wider grocery selection? Hop one or two stops to Huaihai Road, where international supermarkets and specialty bakeries cater to imported tastes. Fitness studios, yoga rooms, and chain gyms are dotted throughout the area, making wellness routines straightforward to maintain.

Commuting is smooth: Line 12 connects quickly to Jing’an Temple and West Nanjing Road, while Line 9 links west to Xujiahui and east via transfer to key Pudong business zones. On weekends, a short bike ride delivers you to Fuxing Park’s lawns or to leafy streets around Jianguo and Ruijin roads. Dapuqiao’s charm lies in its options: heritage, culture, and convenience wrapped into one walkable, well-connected neighborhood that supports both vibrant social lives and quiet nights in.

Why this home works for international residents

Central yet peaceful

Positioned inside Lane 135, the apartment benefits from reduced road noise while remaining moments from cafés, groceries, and the Dapuqiao transport hub. It is a sensible base if you split time across offices in Puxi and meetings in Pudong via straightforward metro connections.

Walkable lifestyle

From Yongye Apartment, your social map expands on foot: Tianzifang’s boutiques, neighborhood bakeries, casual bistros, and everyday services are all nearby. Even late returns feel manageable thanks to well-lit main roads and steady foot traffic around the station.

Flexible for different living needs

Whether you are a couple wanting a guest room, a professional seeking a quiet study, or two roommates prioritizing privacy, the 2-bed, 2-bath format adapts gracefully. Combine this with easy access to gyms, parks, and international shopping corridors, and you get a lifestyle that is practical Monday to Friday and rewarding on weekends.
