Gubei

Compounds in this area

• Gubei New Area

  Master-planned estates

  A planned international district begun in the 1990s, not a single building. Phase one is older with deeper Japanese habits — bathtubs, Japanese supermarkets within reach. Phase two runs along Huangjincheng Road: open blocks, ginkgos, international dining. Russian-speaking households have an established circle here too.

• Gubei Phase One garden groups

  Apartments

  Phase one was laid out as garden groups named after cities — Rome, Athens, Vienna, Paris, Lyon, Marseille. Long-settled Japanese residents, Russian speakers and some Western families. 1990s stock, so bathtubs and tatami rooms may still be in place.

• Gubei One

  Apartments

  The contemporary end of Gubei, against the older phase-one stock. Hongqiao, Huangjincheng Road and the Japanese-Korean service belt are all within reach.

  Worth knowing: Floor area and management fees are what the newness costs.

• Roma Garden

  Apartments

  Low- and mid-rise blocks off Ronghua East Road in Gubei, Changning, from the 1990s. Close to the Shuicheng Road and Huangjincheng Road service belt.

• Ming Du Cheng

  Villas

  Around Hongxu Road in Minhang, completed in the mid-1990s. A mix of apartments and villas next to Gubei phase two. International feel, generous floor areas, assumes a car.
