Fuzhou compartment prices is very high in China ( 9th highest in mainland China,USD 3500-USD 8000 per square meter for a small compartment,prices depends on city location and what kind of gov. schools u can have .Villa is quite more expensive ,only rich businessmen and corrupt gov. officers can afford them , USD 1 million - USD 4 million for a house similar to USA average citizen living conditions ), commodity price is cheap if u shopping from on-line platforms such as Tabao,Jingdong,Pingduoduo etc., due to China is world manufacturing hub , therefore most of things are cheap. But if u buying from shopping malls, everything would be quite expensive , even more expensive than USA,due to the high rental charges of shops /commercial real estate selling prices. Generaly speaking, if u have a big compartment / house and healthy, Fuzhou city is your good choice,it's close to long beach /green hills / sea foods/ clean water & air / safety / subways / airport / more than 10 reputable universities / kind people. Many Fuzhou people from small towns are working in USA big cities like New York,runing a Chinese restaurant.
