New Villas
Villas are mainly located in the fringe areas of Shanghai, such as Hongqiao, Xuhui, Minghang, and Pudong. Most of Villa compounds provide comprehensive facilities, such as club houses, mini-markets, and even golf courses. The management office typically provides all kinds of services, including gardening, housekeeping and maintenance. Also provided is a shuttle bus to downtown, and major expat shopping areas.
 
Old Houses
Old houses are usually located downtown in the historical Jinan, Xuhui, Changning and Luwan districts. Built in the early 1900s, these houses are very difficult to find and much sought after, and they are very popular among those foreigners who want to escape from the hustle of daily life. They offer a lot of charm, but they also require a great deal of main tenancy, because of a number of drawbacks, such as low-level electrical supply, and old plumbing and sewage systems. When you choose this kind of house, make sure that you have a very helpful landlord.

Serviced Apartments are usually situated in the prime, downtown areas. They are conveniently located (Changning, Jingan and Xuhui, and a few are in Pudong.), fully furnished, and offer comprehensive corporate facilities and amenities. Serviced Apartments are available for both short and long-term lease, and even daily lease. Typical size ranges from a small studio up to four bedrooms.
