House Hunting in Guangzhou

Our experience house hunting was an expat experience and I'm sure quite different than someone who searches for a house on their own, and who has to start from square one of even knowing where to look. Call me wimpy, but I was glad we were having the expat experience.

As an expat family everything was arranged (where to go, what houses were available, neighborhood populations) and we looked at different places over the course of 2 days.

Some of these places were quite impressive. We often saw marble or tile floors, which i think help the house stay cool in the extreme heat during the summer. Here are a few pictures from a few of the places that we saw.








Beautiful...this house was super big. Probably around 6 or 7 bedrooms. Not exactly sure how many, since generally I count about up to 3 or 4 for our family.









Another gorgeous view.







Nice place for a barbecue.















The bedrooms were all quite large too.

Action footage.





This picture was of a place in a high rise building. I think this place was at Victory Garden.









Bathroom with a view which you can't really see in the pic.








Dining room area.








View from the top and if you look closely, you might be able to see all the fish in the water.


And finally. . . the place we chose to call home. Golden Lake.







This is one of the streets on Golden Lake.


The houses are not as big, but probably better suited to the size of our family and the housing units are more "western" style. Still the house is great, there are lots of kids, swimming pool, tennis courts, gym, restaurant and store. What more could a person ask for.

I will post pictures of our place once we move there.
