Tamar:Pros: -20 minutes drive to H.I.S. (school bus leaves around 7.20 and goes to multiple sides of the compound) -20 min. drive to Westlake and downtown Hangzhou (you can even go on your bike) -15 min. to Mix C Mall, which is a nice place to hang out for older children (my girls 13 and 16 go there regularly to meet other classmates, meet in Starbucks, go ice skating or to the movies and eat something) -20 min. to Carrefour supermarket, 15 min. to Tesco and 30 min. to Metro ,15 mins by walking to Wu Mart and a smaller supermarket Lian Hua with daily essentials within 10 min. walk. -Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital (with international department during office hours) 15 minutes away -Gym, Basketball court -Indoor heated pool (all year round) and outdoor pool (only July and August) -Underground Parking, -Beautiful landscaping and very clean -Apartment 2-4 bedrooms, small kitchen in our apartment but big apartments are different. -Heating is with air conditioner, which works good for us in both winter and summer. Cons: -State of the apartments depends very much on the owner. The compound already exists for 10 years so you should really see the apartments. -Sometimes hard to get taxi -It depends very much where you live, there is a lot of traffic, it can sometimes be very noisy as the area is still under construction and a lot of heavy trucks are passing at night. -Problems with parking on the compound. ---[2014/8/23]
