We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Tianjin is like. They answered...

"A typical expat home in Tianjin is likely to be a luxurious, modern apartment that can boast great views of the city skyline. The apartments typically feature modern amenities such as air conditioning, landscaped gardens and a variety of luxurious comforts like heated floors. As expats often come with families, many apartments are also equipped with multiple bedrooms and living quarters for maximum convenience and comfort," said another expat in Tianjin, China, China.

"I live on the 23rd floor of what is known as a fully-serviced apt building. Fully serviced means that they provide housekeeping six days a week. My apt is a modest sized three bedroom/2 bath place.No dishwasher or garbage disposal but does have access to western TV programming which is banned to the Chinese locals. It is centrally located so I can walk to many places I want to go to or easily flag down one of the little red suicide taxis that play road chicken games all over town. Like most Chinese made buildings, this place while only five years old is already showing signs of falling apart," wrote a member who made the move to Tianjin, China.
