Jiangning has transitioned from a suburban satellite into Nanjing's premier high-tech powerhouse, though the 2026 market shows a notable bifurcation between aging blocks and new smart-city developments. Massive inventory in the University Town and Jiulong Lake sectors has stabilized buy prices at ¥22,800/m², creating a favorable window for first-time buyers seeking modern infrastructure.
