This paper focuses on the private property and its limits in urban China.It explores the emergence of urban property markets; urban property-holding in relation to the complexity of urban governance; "minor property rights apartments" that form a de facto real estate market and cross over the urban-rural divide; the "grey areas" of blurring legal and administrative boundaries in modern China; and recent change to the rural land system and the rural-urban divide. The conclusion flags the theme of the city as laboratory with regard to the blurring legal and governmental urban-rural distinction.
