Seeking Housing Advice Near Work Place

No subway in the vicinity of the Lido.

The Hairun apartments might be an option for you. Few minutes walk from your office but I think your budget is only realistic if you can find a share and to include laundry and housekeeping in that budget I suspect is not an option.

Thanks Manlin does it mean that Libo is bit out of City Center? Anything to do around that area? Will it be expensive to live there?

I think with your buget you could probabily get 1 bedroom in Landscape residence or China Central Palace, Piao Home...these places are all in Lido area, but yeah, there isn't any subway line, but bus are available. I am real estate agent. If you like I can show you around and help you find an apartment. You don't have to pay the agent fee.

Yes, the Lido area is not considered to be downtown Beijing but there are things to to do in the area. In walking distance there are a few hotels in the area (for example Holiday Inn Lido), quite a few western/foreign restaurants (Italian, Tex/Mex, Indian, Thai) a few coffee shops, expat friendly supermarkets, bars and of course loads of Chinese restaurants. No cinemas in the immediate area. A short taxi ride to area such as Sanlitun, Wangjin and Lufthansa Centre (aka Liangma Qiao) will add even more options.

You could also look for a place in WangJing, which is the neighborhood just north of Lido. There are a lot of decent apartment complexes in the area that would fit your price range and would be within a bike ride of Lido Place.
