My partner and I own a small house in Jimbaran, Bali. Most foreigners who live in Bali insist on calling their houses villas. I don't know why as a villa should refer to either a vacation rental property or a roman or upper-class country home. We are currently living in Chengdu China, in a beautiful apartment, which you can see in the slide show. Chengdu has many very wealthy people and this apartment is owned by a Chinese man who owns many such apartments in the city. In Australian dollars the rent is about $1200 a month. This doesn't include any utilites. I lived in Chengdu a year by myself in a cheaper apartment that was more like a studio with one bedroom. I enjoyed living there but it wasn't big enough for the three of us.
