Housing Options
There is a wide variety of housing in Hong Kong including small, fully furnished serviced
apartments in the centre of the city; large apartments; and townhouses with sea and
harbour views and extending to single family dwellings with a yard and a garage. However,
given that only 8% a small percent of Hong Kong’s land mass is used for commercial and
residential use; it does call for a lot of vertical living arrangements and apartments feature
prominently in the housing sector.
Housing in Hong Kong remains very expensive regardless of the peaks and troughs
which the market does cyclically experience. Hong Kong often rates in the top five most
expensive cites in the world for its cost of housing.
Although the majority of expatriates live on Hong Kong Island, in recent years there has
been a trend to venture further afield. Some of the more popular areas you might
consider are West.
Kowloon due to the opening of a number of commercial buildings in the area; some
executives prefer to live close to Kowloon. Sai Kung and the New Territories offer
greater value for families looking for townhouses and more outdoor access. The
outlying islands such as Discovery Bay offer a variety of housing options in an
alternative family friendly setting.
Overall, rental prices will vary depending on the location, age/condition, the floor of the
apartment and whether there are facilities in the building e.g., gym, swimming pool. You
may need to prioritize your list of housing requirements, to help you select the right
property.
