Hi everyone,
i will change jobs and move to Suzhou in early October.
Until now i am not really familiar with Suzhou and would need some advise especially regarding apartment search.
Im 30 years old and single. My workplace will be at the time square east of the Jinji lake. I guess this area is called Yuanqu.
I would like to live in a district with a selection of restaurants, supermarkets, shopping malls and an expat community. Also i would need a good connection to metro line 1 to get to work. (btw does somebody know the operating hours of line 1?)
My questions summarized:
- which part of the city or which compound near the metro is good for a young single expat?
- whats the average rent for ca. 100sqm, 3 rooms, new compound, nice modern furniture
- where are the best places to look for apartments? (i can read chinese)
prefer not to use an agent
many thanks for any help in advance!!!
