Hangzhou International School (HIS) is set to open its new state-of-the-art, purpose-built campus in the beautiful Binjiang District, near White Horse Lake. Unsurprisingly, the school’s international community—including expatriate families and faculty—are eager to find accommodations close to this new facility. We have received numerous inquiries about residential compounds and apartments in the surrounding area, so we’ve compiled a list of top options to support this community.
After thorough research, we’ve selected 5 high-quality residential compounds (some brand new) within a 3km to 7km radius of the new HIS campus. Below is our detailed recommendation for the HIS community.

We hope this guide gives you a clear overview of housing options near the new HIS campus. While these compounds are close to the campus, they are not within walking distance. The Binjiang area is rapidly developing, offering beautiful, peaceful surroundings—however, the new HIS campus is also conveniently located near existing Binjiang neighborhoods, where families can enjoy malls, supermarkets, riverfront walks, restaurants, and metro stations.
