A hillside public housing community with views from above and one park after another
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
The whole Wanfang Community is built on a hillside — it was Taipei's first large-scale public housing community built on hill land. Looking up from Wanfang Community Station at the bottom of the slope, you can see the whole residential area was built during the same period. The further up you go, the better the view — the Wanmei Village side sits high up with great long-distance views, and besides the 140 Highland Trail Park, the village has 12 other parks and green spaces. All the street names start with "Wan" — Wanli Street, Wanle Street, Wanhe Street, Wanmei Street — walk around once and you'll remember them all.
For greenery, it ranks 7th among Taipei's 73 neighborhoods — the 140 Highland Park north of the station has about 5.4 hectares of natural forest, and you can just walk out your door into it. Wanfang Elementary School is right in the community, and the MRT station is within the neighborhood too. The community also has a bus terminal, with ten routes departing from here, going to places like Dongmen, Yangmingshan, and Taipei Veterans General Hospital.
Healthcare ranks 70th, and daily shopping also ranks 68th — both near the bottom among Taipei's 73 neighborhoods. The community is built on a hillside, so walking home from the station at the bottom is mostly uphill. Muzha Station is actually not in this neighborhood — it's just outside the boundary.
Before the community was built, this place was called Baozikeng; because the hillside stands 140 metres above sea level, it was also known as 140 Highland. The name "Wanfang" comes from the two coal mines once here, Wanlong and Fangchuan. The city government began planning a model hillside community in 1972, and from 1978 started expropriating land, building roads, and constructing public housing. In 1996, the Muzha Line opened, and Wanfang Community Station began operating along with it. The population grew quickly — in 1990, Wanfang Village split off from Bojia Village, and in 2002, Wanmei Village split off as well.

Maps show the shops and the sights. What a street is like, you only know by walking it. TidyMap uses AI street imagery analysis and public facility data to turn each area's street environment and everyday convenience into something you can compare. Search an address and look at the street outside first.
How to read it: yellow = poor, blue = good; grey = not enough data
TidyMap rates the street environment and everyday convenience. It does not assess the home itself, safety, noise or actual living experience. Street environment scores use AI assessments of imagery; convenience scores use public facility data.
