Apartments for rent in Yuhang District
Yuhang is Hangzhou’s growth edge. Future Science City, the Alibaba campuses and the Liangzhu cultural site all sit inside it, and new residential compounds keep appearing around them. It is where you get the most space for your money.
Rent data reviewed October 2026. Prices are our current asking rents, not a market index.
Living in Yuhang District
The district is large and uneven. Future Science City is dense, young and newly built, with coffee shops and co-working space aimed squarely at the technology workforce. Liangzhu, fifteen minutes further out, is slow, green and low-rise. Choose between them based on whether you want neighbours or quiet — the rent difference is smaller than the difference in atmosphere.
Neighbourhoods worth knowing
Yuhang District is not one market. These are the three pockets foreign tenants ask about most, and what each one actually feels like to live in.
Future Science City 未来科技城
The technology hub: new towers, Alibaba offices, young residents, late-opening cafes. Best for anyone working locally.
Liangzhu 良渚
Low-density housing around the archaeological site and cultural village. Green, quiet, popular with families who want a garden or a large balcony.
Cangqian 仓前
Old town streets mixed with new build, close to Hangzhou West Railway Station. Practical, cheaper, and useful if you travel by high-speed rail often.
