Hsinchu Apartment Tour!

Check out this video to see what it's really like to live in Taiwan!

This apartment is on Jinshan 25th St. in the East District in Hsinchu City. It is about a 12 minute walk to our school, American Eagle Institute Science Park, (just a few minute drive on a scooter), and we pay $11,000 NT per month. Everything is included except for electric, which we haven't had to pay yet, so we're not sure how much that will be. It has a laundry facility (about $70-80 NT to wash & dry one load), free workout equipment and microwave downstairs, mini-fridge in the room, air conditioning, underground garage for scooter. We also have a separate shower - most Taiwanese apartments just have a shower head in the bathroom with no shower curtain or separate shower floor or anything. Also, in most places in Taiwan, you can't flush toilet paper, so our deluxe toilet with bidet helps a little with that issue! This is by far the nicest and homiest place we could find in our price range (anything more than a studio in this neighborhood is about 3 times the price). So, if you are looking for a place in this area, this will put your options into perspective. If you are looking for multiple bedrooms, kitchen, etc. you will have a bit of a commute to get to this part of town.

We hope this is helpful to any one wanting to know what apartments in Taiwan are really like!
