Overseas Chinese Town (Community)

Number 4 on the Nanshan East Map.
Please see the comments below. [We fixed a typo in the title that Dennis pointed out; it's now correct.] Thanks, Dennis!
We need to know:
- Did we get the "English" name right?
- What streets bound the community, and on what sides?
- How convenient is the location?
- How would you describe it? High-rises? Older-style buildings? Friendly? Families? Professionals?
- What amenities does it have: A central market, recreational facilities, parking, etc.
- How would you describe living there (if you do)? Are there many foreigners living there?
- What is the ownership: centrally-managed, or individually-owned units? Can you say anything about the rent?
- Add any other information you think might be worthwhile.
(See Fuhua Xincun for an example.)

Thanks! Include your name and we'll give you credit.
OCT
Yes, you have gotten the English name almost correct, 'Overseas Chinese Town', is what I have been told by Chinese friends from SZ.
When I visited SZ, OCT seemed very well located to visit all of the theme parks, and not too far from 'downtown shopping'.
As best I can remember it was a mix of the very new and some older, but nothing 'ancient'. It is a friendly place with lots of young professionals and families. Some older folks but not as many as other places. I saw a local market that was big by American standards, with lots of fruits, vegetables and fresh fish. There was lots of recreational facilities and restaurants. I did not see many foreigners. It seems a nice place to visit, especially if you want to visit the theme parks or ride the monorail, and taste many different kinds of foods, Thai, Polynesian, Korean, Japanese, etc.
