Sheshan

Space, a lake, a weekend feeling — a daily run into Lujiazui will hurt

What agents get wrong

Do not file Thames Town as an international community.

Compounds in this area

Sheshan villa belt
Villas
Villas around Moon Lake and the Sheshan resort area. Floor area, air, and a weekend feel.
Worth knowing: Commute and school buses are the real cost, unless the office is in Songjiang or Qingpu, or the children are at YK Pao Songjiang.
Moon Lake Villas
Villas
Prime villas inside the Sheshan resort area. Floor area, the lake, and a weekend feel.
Worth knowing: A daily commute into Lujiazui will wear thin. With children at a city international school, this is a second-home decision.
Rancho Santa Fe
Villas
The American-named villa scheme at Sheshan, regularly quoted by foreign agents. Same commute logic as Moon Lake and Shimao Sheshan.

Schools are matched at corridor level, not street level — the bus route is what actually decides.
