FAQs

Is the Former French Concession a good area to live in Shanghai?
Yes it’s known for tree-lined streets, historic lane houses and villas, and unfettered access to Shanghai’s shopping, dining, and nightlife. It’s consistently one of the most requested areas among expats specifically for this character.

What’s it like living in an old lane house vs. a modern apartment?
Lane houses offer more character, space, and outdoor areas like terraces, but as older buildings they can require more attention to maintenance than new-build apartments — worth confirming upkeep history with your agent before signing.

How much does a lane house rent for in the French Concession?
Rent typically runs ¥8,000–15,000+ for smaller/older units, with larger, renovated 2-3BR lane houses commonly reaching ¥20,000–35,000+ depending on size, renovation quality, and exact location.
