Refined Living with Light, Space, and Calm

This fully renovated three-bedroom, two-bath first rental at Lakeville Luxe has been reimagined for modern city life, pairing quiet sophistication with day-to-day practicality. Expansive large windows flood the home with gentle natural light, accentuating the elegant interplay of marble and wood flooring. An open-plan living and dining area flows onto a private outdoor space, perfect for morning espresso or an evening wind-down above the landscaped courtyards.

The kitchen is fitted for real cooking with reliable piped gas, generous counter space, and ample cabinetry, while subtle task lighting keeps the space bright without glare. Year-round comfort is assured by integrated heating and air conditioning, and high-quality double glazing preserves a serene, insulated interior. The primary suite offers a soothing retreat with a stylish bathtub, ideal after a long flight or a Shanghai workday, and built-in wardrobes provide organized storage in every bedroom.

Connectivity is effortless with fast WiFi throughout and a layout that easily accommodates remote work. The residence sits a short walk from key subway lines for quick cross-city access, yet enjoys the hush of an inner compound setting. Thoughtful lighting, discreet storage, and a neutral palette allow you to personalize without compromise. This is a move-in-ready home that balances polished design with everyday functionality in one of Shanghai’s most sought-after addresses.

Life at Lakeville Luxe

Lakeville Luxe sits beside the calm waters of Taipingqiao Park’s lake, bringing a rare blend of city-center convenience and garden tranquility. Known locally as Cuihu Tiandi Juanhui, the community is celebrated for its refined architecture, manicured courtyards, and a sense of privacy that’s increasingly hard to find near Xintiandi. A staffed, bilingual concierge manages deliveries and daily requests with hotel-style efficiency, while professional property management keeps the common areas consistently immaculate.

Residents enjoy a comprehensive lifestyle environment. The private clubhouse includes an indoor swimming pool for lap workouts in any season, a well-equipped gym, and inviting spaces for relaxation after work. Families appreciate the children’s play areas and safe, stroller-friendly pathways circling landscaped lawns and water features. For drivers, secure underground parking and EV-ready bays are typically available; cyclists benefit from organized bike storage close to lift lobbies.

Security is discrete yet thorough, with 24-hour on-site teams and monitored access points that preserve a calm, residential atmosphere. The finishing touches matter here: tidy recycling rooms, thoughtful mail and parcel handling, and maintenance requests that receive prompt attention. Step outside and you’re moments from Xintiandi’s dining and cafés, yet step back in and the world quiets. It’s this careful balance that makes Lakeville Luxe a perennial favorite with international residents seeking comfort without compromise.

Xintiandi: Heritage, Greenery, and Urban Ease

Set on the edge of Taipingqiao Park and its reflective lake, Lakeville Luxe places you in the cultural heart of Xintiandi, where revitalized shikumen lanes meet contemporary design. Mornings often start with a jog around the park’s looping paths or a coffee at a sunlit café terrace. By afternoon, the neighborhood unfolds into an easy circuit of galleries, design stores, and restaurants that cover everything from casual noodles to white-tablecloth fine dining.

Connectivity is exceptional. Xintiandi Station on Lines 10 and 13 is within a short walk, putting hotspots like the Bund, Jing’an, and Lujiazui within easy reach. South Huangpi Road Station on Line 1 adds a direct north-south option along the city’s spine. Everyday conveniences are close at hand, from international bakeries and specialty coffee to premium grocers inside nearby malls along Huaihai Middle Road. Quality gyms, yoga studios, and boutique wellness clinics dot the area, and reputable international medical practices are located in adjacent commercial towers.

Evenings are richly varied. Choose a quiet wine bar tucked in a lane house or a lively terrace overlooking pedestrian streets animated by street musicians and alfresco dining. Weekends offer family time on the lawns at Taipingqiao, quick trips to museums around People’s Square, or leisurely strolls through Fuxing Park. Xintiandi’s enduring charm lies in this blend of heritage and convenience, with a cosmopolitan rhythm that feels both vibrant and reassuringly livable.

Why This Home Works For International Residents
