In northeastern Beijing, at the intersection of Wangjing and Jiuxianqiao, an international apartment complex built around the philosophy of “sport as a way of life” – One Community Apartments – is quietly reshaping how urban elites imagine their home. This is not just a place with bedrooms and living rooms; it is a “healthy living that integrates professional sports facilities, natural landscapes, and social energy. Whether you are an early‑morning runner, a racket‑swinging socialite, or someone devoted to swimming and strength training, One Community Apartments offers a complete, year‑round, stay‑in‑place solution for a healthy lifestyle.
Concept: Embedding a Resort‑Like Active Rhythm into Everyday Life
Most apartments treat gyms and pools as “bonuses”. One Community Apartments made them “standards”. From the very planning stage, the team established a “whole‑age, whole‑time, whole‑season” sports concept: from the forest track lights that turn on at 5:30 a.m., to the heated pool and strength zone still operating at 11:00 p.m.; from spring lawn yoga to winter indoor badminton leagues – here, exercise is not an occasional check‑in, but as natural as breathing. The entire community revolves around a 420‑meter shaded jogging track, a 1,000+ square meter sunlit lawn, and the nearly 3,000 square meter “Joy Move” sports center. Outdoor and indoor spaces connect seamlessly. Rain or shine, summer or winter, there is always a place to stretch your body.
Outdoor Rhythm: Immersive Experience on the Forest Track and Sun Lawn
At six in the morning, as the sky lightens, residents already step onto the 420‑meter healthy jogging loop that winds through the core landscape area. The track is lined with trees and flowering shrubs – crabapples in spring, golden maple in autumn – offering changing colors through the seasons. The pavement is made of slip‑resistant, permeable material, with encouragement signs and calorie consumption markers every few dozen meters. Solar‑powered ground lights automatically turn on after sunset, casting a soft warm glow that does not disturb lower‑floor residents while clearly outlining the path. Even more thoughtful: every 30 meters along the track, there is a smart mosquito‑repelling lamp that uses physical trapping, letting you run on summer nights without being bothered. Many residents have developed a habit of “not watching the clock, but watching the lights” – when the lights come on, they go downstairs for three to five kilometers, then cool down with stretches on the lawn.
The thousand‑square‑meter “Joy PARK” sunlit lawn is another outdoor signature of the community. The grass stays green all year round, carefully selected for durability and quick recovery. On weekend mornings, you can bring your yoga mat and do an outdoor flow yoga session facing the sunrise. Or, in the evening, invite neighbors to spread a picnic blanket and let children kick a ball or run freely. The apartment even holds open‑air movies, small concerts, and parent‑child sports days on the lawn regularly. A long‑term German resident said, “Before moving here, I worried most about not finding a suitable outdoor training ground. Now, just steps from my building is a private park. I feel the whole community pushes you to go outside.”
Pet‑Friendly Zone: Let “Furry Kids” Enjoy Their Own Exercise
As a pet‑friendly community, One Community Apartments has set aside a fenced area for pets. The ground is covered with scratch‑resistant, durable turf, and there are simple agility props like hurdles and weaving poles. Every evening, this area becomes a social paradise for dogs. The community also plans to hold quarterly “Pet Olympics”, divided into small and medium‑sized dog categories, with events such as pole weaving, high‑jump fetching, and a 50‑meter dash. A resident who owns two corgis shared with a smile, “I used to drive out to suburban pet parks. Now I just go downstairs and let them run. They’re happy, and I’m worry‑free.”
Water Healing: 25‑Meter Standard Lane and SPA‑Style Massage Pool
The swimming pool in the “Joy Move” sports center is the quietest and most healing corner of the entire community. In a space of nearly 1,000 square meters, a 25‑meter standard lane runs north to south, with depth gradually increasing from 1.2 meters to 1.8 meters – suitable for beginners and satisfying for long‑distance swimmers. The water temperature is controlled by an intelligent constant‑temperature system, never dropping below 27°C in winter. In‑floor heating extends from the changing rooms to the poolside, so walking barefoot never feels cold. Water quality management is rigorous: the circulation filtration system filters the entire pool every four hours, combined with imported bromine‑chlorine hydantoin agents and ozone disinfection. Even sensitive skin can hardly smell any harsh chlorine.
At the poolside, there are three massage pools with hydro‑jet nozzles that target shoulders, back, and waist. Many residents who work in the Wangjing Technology Park come here after work – swim for half an hour, then soak in the massage pool for ten minutes, and the whole day’s neck and shoulder stiffness disappears. The changing area is equipped with automatic swimsuit spinners, private changing rooms, and lockers for rent. Vending machines are stocked with electrolyte drinks and energy bars. As one finance professional put it, “Swimming is the only time I can completely put down my phone. In the water, no one can find you. Time belongs only to you.”
Badminton Social: 6 International‑Standard Courts, from 8am to 10pm
If the swimming pool is a sanctuary for introverts, the badminton hall is a playground for extroverts. Inside the nearly 1,000‑square‑meter hall, there are six international‑standard badminton courts, each with ample buffer space to avoid interference between neighboring courts. The floor combines double‑layer keel solid wood with Yonex professional mats – just the right amount of elasticity to cushion knee impact while ensuring quick footwork. The ceiling height reaches 8.15 meters, so even high‑clearance shots to the baseline never feel oppressive.
Courts are bookable two days in advance. Each court can accommodate up to six players rotating, and the whole hall can host 48 people simultaneously. From 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., there are people swinging rackets in almost every time slot. The community has spontaneously formed several badminton groups: a Wednesday evening “Elite Friendship Match” mainly for nearby foreign‑company employees, and a weekend morning “Parent‑Child Mixed Doubles” where parents play with their children. A Japanese resident commented, “Badminton is very popular in Japan. I never expected to find such professional courts and playing partners in Beijing. Language barriers don’t matter – a single high clear says it all.” In addition, the hall has hired a nationally certified badminton coach who offers one‑on‑one or small‑group lessons, from basic strokes to tactical footwork.
Strength Sanctuary: Technogym Equipment and a 30‑Square‑Meter Private Training Room
For those devoted to strength training, the gym is the true home court. The gym at One Community Apartments uses only top‑tier Italian brand Technogym – official supplier to multiple Olympic Games. The cardio area features the latest climbing machines with adjustable resistance levels and Bluetooth connectivity, syncing with your own music to turn a monotonous climb into a rhythmic workout. The strength area has a full set of dumbbells from 5 kg to 50 kg, complemented by adjustable multi‑functional racks and a Smith machine, covering all needs from beginner to advanced lifter.
A separate 30‑square‑meter private training room is set aside in one corner of the gym, with soft mats, mirrored walls, and movable dumbbell racks. The apartment has signed contracts with a professional coaching team who offer posture assessments, workout plan customization, and movement guidance. Unlike the “name‑only” coaches in many apartments, the coaches here are on‑site at least three days a week, available to answer questions. One resident, under a coach’s guidance, transformed from “25% body fat” to “completing a full marathon” in just three months. As the slogan on the wall says, “Here, fitness is not punishment. It’s a long‑term investment in your body.”
Beyond the Community: Hutong Cycling, Paddleboarding, and Hiking
One Community Apartments’ “sports map” is not limited to within its walls. The operations team created an “8 ideas of life” community program, organizing two or three outdoor activities every month. Spring features “Hutong Cycling” – starting from the apartment, heading west along Liangma River, weaving through old Beijing neighborhoods like Dongsi and Nanluoguxiang, a one‑way trip of about 15 kilometers, with a coffee break at a hutong café. Summer’s highlight is stand‑up paddleboarding (SUP) on Liangma River, led by professional instructors – an opportunity to experience standing and paddling on an urban waterway. Autumn brings suburban mountain hikes, such as Yangtaishan or Fenghuangling, moderate in difficulty, often ending with a farmhouse meal. These activities not only exercise the body but also quickly build neighborly bonds. Many residents who were strangers became friends after a single cycling trip or a mountaintop summit.
Conclusion: Health – The Highest Form of Living Quality
One Community Apartments has not invented any “new concept”. It simply makes every sports space truly professional and weaves them organically into daily life. Here, you don’t need an expensive gym membership, nor do you need to drive half an hour to swim or play ball – all facilities are downstairs, give priority to residents, and are priced far below comparable off‑site venues. More importantly, the entire community atmosphere encourages you to “move”. When neighbors are sweating on the track, in the pool, or on the badminton courts, you will naturally want to put on your trainers. For international elites who value physical vitality, social quality, and mental relaxation, One Community Apartments offers far more than a set of finished rooms – it offers a complete, sustainable healthy lifestyle.
Welcome to step into this sports‑oriented community. Start with an early morning run, a lane swim, or a badminton match, and unlock your own “international elite healthy living”.
