Living in Hangzhou
Practical tips to help you adjust smoothly to life in this beautiful city.
Housing Market
Most landlords require one month's deposit and three months' rent in advance. Costs vary by location and property age; we guide you to options that fit your budget and lifestyle.
Pet-Friendly Options
Bringing a pet can make the search harder, but we understand your furry friend is family. We assist with pet documentation and recommend pet-friendly neighborhoods.
Transportation
Hangzhou's taxi apps make commuting easy. If you prefer driving, we provide driver's license assistance and car rental services.
Home Amenities
Most apartments lack ovens or dishwashers, and heating is usually via air conditioning rather than underfloor heating. Knowing this helps you adapt quickly.
Safety & Scams
Hangzhou is remarkably safe, even at night. Stay vigilant during your housing search. If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. With PLUS Housing, you're in trustworthy hands.
