Monthly housing budget (CNY) Realistic Shanghai 2026 ranges. Quiz filters out areas where the typical floor sits well above your tier.

Length of stay Pick one. Short stays favour central / walkable; longer favour suburban / school clusters.

How the quiz works

Priorities drive the bulk of the score: each neighborhood has per-priority match values that get summed.
Family situation adjusts the weight — picking "couple with kids" gives schools a stronger bonus, "single" gives nightlife and walkability more weight.
Budget filters out areas whose typical floor is well above your tier (no point recommending Xintiandi on a frugal budget).
Length of stay nudges the ranking: short stays favour walkable central areas; long stays favour suburban school clusters or family-tier compounds.

What the quiz deliberately doesn't do

No specific agents, landlords, or schools recommended. You'll get neighborhood-level guidance only.
No live pricing. Rent ranges are rounded and given as ranges — verify with a current local agent.
No visa or legal advice. Talk to your consulate and a licensed lawyer in China for that.
