What location is worth investing in a small apartment?

There has always been a common understanding of real estate investment: “location, location, location”! Regardless of the nature of small apartments, whether commercial or residential, investment or self-occupation, their essence is still real estate, and the golden rule of "location value theory" still applies. It can even be said that because small apartments are more concerned about future appreciation or operating income, their sensitivity to location is higher than that of ordinary residences.

The scarcity of landscape resources provides a strong guarantee for the appreciation and preservation of real estate in the region, such as Jinji Lake in Suzhou and Li Lake in Wuxi. A city has driven the rapid development of an entire new district because of one lake. The landscape value of Jinan Xiaoqing River has been reflected through the vigorous management of the municipal government in recent years. As Xiaoqing River changes its old appearance to a new one, the beautiful riverside scenery has really made the Binhe area really popular, and the attention of surrounding real estate has doubled.
