you just have to try HotPot, it's to die for ( literally)
if you are still looking there is a website
My House In China | MyHouseInChina.com - Home that is always outdated but will give you a good idea of the apartment prices and amenities in Chengdu.
Most foreign pilots live in Tongzilin area, complexes called Europe City, Masters or Beverly Gardens. If you are looking at Chengdu you must be considering Sichuan Airlines and they provide pickup drop off service to designated pickup points which are at the above mentioned complexes. good luck ..........
