- In this video, I go on a hunt for an apartment in the beautiful city of Hangzhou, China. I am sharing this video to help someone considering coming to China, as before I came to China, I was curious to see what apartments looked like. Please enjoy the video and share it with anyone interested in apartments in China.

I was like "For $600 that's a decent apartment" Then I noticed there is a whole other floor that comes with it.
Personal preference is the first apartment. The walk in wardrobe sets it apart from the second.
Rental rates are very affordable compared to Singapore or Hong Kong.
Yes, I agree.

Sabrina, you’re the reason why I’m leaving Atlanta and going to China to study mandarin for a bachelor’s. That vid you made about coping really hit me hard. I’ve never noticed how on guard I am. Thanks 🙏🏾
It seems u really know how Chinese are special.good choice.regards from India 😊😊
lol…good luck
welcome man, i used to study in Kennesaw, now back in China. Happy to make some new friends
I like the apartment, but the height and open balconies terrify me!!! I could not live there. 😮😮😮😮
Nice
I ll be moving to 🇨🇳 soon
I’m sure you will enjoy China.
Wow here in Toronto Canada that apartment would be $3,000 per month!
Wow, I can imagine
I would say $6k/month in USA 🇺🇸 mostly because of the views. 😶
The first duplex flat has more space and feels luxurious. It's amazing being in the garden with swimming pool and children's playground. Definitely very attractive for families!
It is actually so insane how much more you get for your money in China. In the US $600 doesn't even get you a decent studio apartment in most places 😭 forget a balcony, you will be lucky if you can fit a queen bed and a small couch 🥲
@@VegaTakeOver I'm speaking from the perspective of an American or foreigner moving there. In comparison, you get way more for your money.
@@VegaTakeOver Are you trying to show how uninformed you are or are you just a "China hating troll"?
@@K.lp98yes your right, but keep in mind in china the minimum wage and average salary is 60% less than the usa
@@thrillings7393The per capita GDP of Hangzhou is 28,000＄.The average monthly salary is 1080 $,and the median salary is 2600 $. Because of Alibaba, the median salary is much higher than the average monthly salary.😅
my coworker was trying to get an apartment here in south Florida. he makes 75,000/yr and everywhere he went they told him he didn't make enough money to pay the rent. the rent was $2300 per month for a 1 bedroom 1 bath
Didn't know rent in HangZhou is that cheap. It's very beautiful city. I definitely take the first apartment. The layout and views are better.
I love Hangzhou.
I think the first apartment is a pretty decent apartment. Could definitely make it feel homey. I prefer the layout to the second one. Would be nice if the balcony extended to the living room.
Yes, I need a homey apartment.
I like the first one. View is out of this world. Not only it’s so open, I can see Mountain View far away.
The first apartment is my favorite, I like the two decent bathrooms with showers, the full glass wall views from the living room and 🎉THE POOL🎉 is wonderful on those hot summer evenings.
In Portugal you will be lucky if you get an old 1 room apartment in a small town or just a room in Lisbon for 600$. Such apartments would cost at least 4-5 times more here. And the infrastructure is 40 years old in comparison to China.
CPC is doing amazing job for Chinese people!
Congratulations to your new apartment Ma’am 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🥇🥇🥇
First one is better because second one is on a lower floor and the construction can be noisy and dusty. One concern with the first one is kitchen opposite bathroom, not good feng shui, fire facing water. Conflicts in household and possible stomach issues. Way to alleviate is to hang a long curtain on the bathroom door to block it.
I am in Hong Kong right now and I gather that an apartment the size of the first apartment would easily coat 3 times the asking price!
Wow, I have heard that is is expensive in Hong Kong.
其实我们大陆人都很关心香港住房问题，希望政府赶紧解决公租房，看到香港住房，大都心都很痛，万恶的资本家
But you didn't mention that the average salary of HK is 3 times higher than HANGZHOU, so from this perspective to analyze it's reasonable and acceptable to your rental cost in HK .
@MOHAMMAD HASAN 想追求英国殖民的，没人拦着，他们不是去了英国吗？英国想要中国领土，就要有实力，可惜英国已经衰落了
@MOHAMMAD HASAN 相反你的意思，我们是不是只要殖民你的国家，
I'm living in shanghai and it costs me 7000 rmb as the rent per month. The apt was build in 1970s and very small, but its location is good.
7000rmb is really expensive. Normal people can not afford it.
I'll probably pick the first one because the second one has the construction site next door. I prefer quiet place over construction noise.
Wow canada, us and uk can't even compare, I was like wow this is nice for $600 until I saw the upper floor 🤯🤯🤯, I shouted I almost couldn't believe it, if not for the fact that I've been watching your videos and I admire your effort to exposing us to the truth about China and life in general, I almost would not believe it because what the heck, here in Canada we would be like 4 in this apartment and still pay $1,600 each I really want to leave this canada for china, I've heard from a lot of people that life in china is way better, well having said this, i prefer the 1st apartment
That's a lot of space for 600 USD...clean, quiet, modern...I have never been to Hangzhou but did spend a whole week in Shenyang in NE China and had a great time...but the air pollution was terrible the week I was there...but outside the city the air was clear and nice...that was in Sept of 2012...thanks for sharing your video...
希望你在中国生活愉快，工作顺利！欢迎你
Wow, the rent is sooooo cheap for such a large 3 bedroom apartment! I could only imagine that it will cost a whole lot more in Beijing or Shanghai.
Hangzhou is a city known as nearly expensive as Shanghai , 600 is not bad , some capital city of provinces like Changsha even Chongqing still have 300 dollars apartments
Absolutely, when I was living in a small city in Shandong province I was paying $188 for a much bigger apartment.
Still cheaper than NY, and China apartment are newest!
@Tony L But the price in NY is high...
A two bedroom apartment in San Francisco Bay area (USA) would run around $2.800 per month...$600 is very reasonable.
Beautiful apartments
Great video's... thank you for putting a smile on my dial 😀
New subscriber, great video! Love your voice! Cheers from East Los Angeles! 🎉
5000 is very expensive! The agent ripped you off! It just a loft apartment.Beside, in Canton it rents around 1500/month.
You must be joking. An apartment like this is very expensive to rent in tier 1 cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou. 5000 is fair.
@@ericliume you can come to Zhongshan , there is lots of apartments to choose, around from 1xxx to 2xxx !
@@wendykwan343 Zhongshan is tier 2 city. There is a big gap of cost of living between each tier. It is simply imcomparable.
I rent a 2b1b 100 sqmeter apt in caishikou Beijing 2013, which cost 9k a month. Now the price shall be 15k.
@@ericliume there are many low price apartments locates on Shenzhen eastern districts " Ten Miles Silverbeach " but they are suitable for traveling and retirement.
I am living in China in a tier2 city and pay even only 400 USD monthly for 120 square meter in a 5 year old building with ground heating pipes and AC. Low cost help me a lot to become financial independent.
Nice apartments. I wish I can get something that nice with that prices in the states.
Hangzhou is a pretty expensive city by Chinese standards. I think both apartments are too big for one person, you certainly don't need 3 bedrooms. Unless you have somebody to share it with you, of course.
I love it. I want to be near Guangzhou tho idk where exactly this is
This apartment is relatively cheap because it is on the outskirts of the city. In hot downtown area the price can easily double. In major cities this price range is typically lower end for decent places, either the location is remote, or room is small, or condition really poor. Lower than this you start getting into slums.
The first one is better than the 2nd one😊
The second one is obviously much better and the layout is more reasonable.
This apartment would be 10x the price if I rented it here in Seattle. Makes me want to move
I love it. the first one for sure.
First one seemed to be bigger and nicer 😊
I love the first apartment
One of the first things I'd check would be whether walls which separate the rooms were real walls, meaning; if they're solid brick/concrete or lame ass plywood. So many new "luxury" properties here in the US don't have real walls, therefore they suck in terms of noise insulation.
Both feel too big for one person. Both are nice, couldn't decide
Omg this is gorgeous! Here in Colorado this would be 2,500 a month as a conservative estimate
I would definitely live in this apartment, any of the two, thanks for making the video😂
Apartment prices in China are amazing. Pay around 2000 RMB for something nice
I’m amazed how these other countries never use and don’t even know what a dryer is.
Nice, you can find a good apartment ilke this in US for just 500 dollars a month too 😳
Such a cool video!
1st apartment is my favourite ❤❤❤
The second apartment is the one that i want to live in
1，住得高视线好
2，没有噪音
选第一套
Nice views
I kinda like the 1st one tho
Me too.
In fact, it is not very cheap for Chinese, but it is very cheap for foreigners, and the salary of foreigners in China is generally higher than that of Chinese, sometimes even two to three times
❤❤
If you live alone, there is absolutely no need to rent such a big house. 5,000 RMB is too exaggerated. If you use the app of renting a house in China, you can find a good house in Hangzhou for 1,500-3,000 RMB.
i think first one is more suitable for you
I agree
@@Sabrina_inchina 第一个好 第二个对面是工地比较吵和灰尘不好 😄
Wow❤❤❤
The 2nd apartment is better than the 1st one
Woow
5000rnb or $700 seems really high when comparing it to Hangzhou's gdp per capita of roughly $15k, so you pay $8,400 of your income annually, so more than half of your income goes towards housing.
no, huangzhou GDP per capita is around 30000 USD
The per capita GDP of Zhejiang Province is $22,000.How can Hangzhou be 15,000 $?😅
I am planning to move to china very soon
Sabrina 前面是绿汀路地铁站，这应该是紫樾府喽
Does the $5,000 rmb rent include maintenance fee, gas and electric? If not how much the monthly cost for electric, gas, TV/internet service, maintenance fee? Do the furniture, bedding include in the rend?
You get everything in the apartment once you rent it, plus the property fee. However, it does not include utilities.
@@Sabrina_inchina I like the first apartment.
maintainess nnd manage fees normaly concluded in the rent in China, but gas and electricity charge you have to pay according to your actual consumption. Gas and electricity is very very cheap. I bet 3 usd for gas and 50 usd for electricity is over enough even in summer 24h AC working
Tv and internet is around 50 dollars per year, 300M or 500M speed
Hangzhou has the population of LA but for this apartment in LA you have to pay more than 5k per month for this in LA if not more than 10k😂 and you can't even walk in the city
The conversion is a bit off, 5000 RMB is over 700 USD
NICE🎉
Small kitchen? It's more than large enough.
Does that include mowing the grass? haha love it
I believe you don’t need to worry about maintenance at all.
Yes, maintenance fee is included in the rent cost.
if the 2nd unit is also $600, then it is a better choice 🎉
Yo these apartments are so nice. This was in Hangzhou? Why so cheap? How far from city center?
Pretty far, around 15km from the city center.
找房子最好找房东签约合同，而不是找中介，中介费用高，还收中介费
外国人没那么多渠道直接找房东。
That’s really good and yes I’d live there
What’s that in English sterling plz £?
600 a month? Or 600 a week. If that was my country, it would be 800 a week at least
For a month,baby😊
Freakin penthouse like sis
love your apt❤
That size probably 3k a month in America!!😂
Wtf kitchen on entrance and opposite to kitchen is bathroom 😂
Is the rent paid monthly? Or do you make payment for a year?
The rent is paid every three months.
这个价格很好了。杭州的房租很贵。
Most definitely, I wish I could move in now!! At $600 U.S dollars is SUPER!!
Can you please send me the apartment One and Two info. City location, address, phone number and name of them..?
Appreciate it, thanks for sharing!!
First apt better.
I agree
600 USD is cheap for foreigners, but expensive for local. Usually my people their salaries are only around 3000 to 6000 yuan a month, 5000 yuan which is 600 USD just for renting is pretty expensive for us... 😢
去厂里加班去万把块不难，跑外卖多跑几个小时也差不多！主要是高薪工作都要学历，学历卡死了你的上限😥
You are beautiful, but we didn't see you in this video.😢
Watch my next video up now to see me 😊
Much nicer than Taiwan
Only 5000😂 that's half of my monthly salary gone
How about Chicago? Is Chicago better than Hangzhou
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Are you kidding me? Compare the videos of Chicago and Hangzhou walking, and you will know the gap.😊
The appartment is nice and clean and had come furnished (all of which is great) but there are downsides imho:
1. I am no expert on real estate prices in Hangzhou, but I would say the appartment is overpriced considering local average salary
2. Washing machine on the balcony? Wtf? Why?
3. The appartment is rather small.. Does it really have to be divided in two floors? Makes no sense to me. Appartments like this should fit on a single floor imho.
in hangzhou the rent is high ,while other cities the price will be much cheaper
an apartment like this would be 1800$ a month here in ottawa canada....
