I now spend 4200 + utilities for a one-bedroom apartment in not a very old building (definitely not older than 20 years). Taking subway to all the central areas takes around 30 minutes. I guess Beijing prices are much higher.

How many sqm? To get that price in Beijing I would have to be outside the 4th ring road at least, or in some box with a concrete floor and white/blue lighting.

50 sq meters

Wow. That is definitely a studio. At the tier I was looking at, I never saw anything under 70, the smallest place I rented was 78sqm.

But it's not a studio. Bedroom, living room and kitchen are separate.

Ok, then just a very small 1 bedroom.
