Overview

Presenting a bright and well-maintained 116 square meter 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment at City Castle (远中风华园) – a popular expat-friendly compound located in the prime Jing’an District, just a short distance from Nanjing West Road.

Full south exposure	Maximum natural light throughout the day
Energy efficient	Reduces heating costs in winter
Bright interiors	Creates cheerful, welcoming living spaces

City Castle – The Compound

City Castle is a well-established compound developed by a Taiwanese developer. While some sources indicate construction completion around 2006–2008, most units were completed and sold in 2011 . The compound is known for:

Compound Feature	Details
Developer	Shanghai Yuan Zhong Jing An Real Estate Co. (远中静安房地产有限公司)
物业公司	Yuan Xiong Property (远雄物业) or Shanghai Gubei Property Management – dual sources indicate service providers
物业费	Approximately 5.8 RMB/sqm/month
绿化率	40%绿化率 – landscaped gardens throughout
Clubhouse	Two clubhouses with swimming pool, gym, and other amenities
Parking	Underground parking – 100 spaces officially, but often tight
Security	24-hour property management and security – “excellent” per local reviews
Building style	5 high-rise buildings (18-26 floors) with a distinctive “C” shape layout

The compound’s 40%绿化率 means abundant green spaces, making it one of the greener compounds in the Jing’an area.

Jing’an Sculpture Park	Nearby green space
Various restaurants/cafés	Abundant options in surrounding streets

The location is exceptionally convenient – City Castle sits in the prime area of North Jing’an, bordering the highly desirable Nanjing West Road commercial zone .

City Castle reputation	Well-regarded Jing’an compound with clubhouse amenities
物业费 included at 20k	Excellent value – saves tenant approximately 670 RMB/month (116 sqm × 5.8)
