DUDE!
Easy with the chinglish!
Exactly use google! and google MAP! and may be some cityweekend and Beijinger and may be not insulting people. (usually people who insult are doing it because they do not have any other recourse)
BTW those "compounds" are not close to town unless you do not mind living "Saudi Style" housing, like you can spend 2 years in Beijing and not notice.
Anyway the one is going to kill you is your kids schooling as I said.
BTW you can find a studio like for about 4-6K CNY downtown but you HAVE to look HARD!
