Finding the Right Hong Kong Neighborhood

Are you new to Hong Kong or deciding which area of the city you should move to? Although Hong Kong is known as a tiny island, each part has its own distinct characteristics. Here, we have listed out some of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Hong Kong for you to make the decision!

THE PEAK PROPERTIES

The Peak

The Peak, which is one of the most affluent residential areas in Hong Kong, makes up a large chunk of the island’s western half. From peaceful tree-lined streets to exclusive real estates in The Peak, the picture-worthy views can never be unseen. Aside from the perfect neighborhoods, the Peak Tower allows you to enjoy the 360-degree breathtaking sceneries of Hong Kong.

Why you should consider:
High accessibility with pristine views, fantastic area for nature lovers and hikers covering hills such as Lung Fu Shan, High West and the Peak hilltop.


MID-LEVELS PROPERTIES

Mid-level

Although several historical developments in Mid-levels have been replaced by high-rise condominiums, the remnants of a bygone era remain in the carved stairways and stone bridges. Primarily considered as a residential area, Mid-Levels Hong Kong apartments offer an epitome of hillside lifestyle.

Why you should consider:
Island School, CBD, malls and nightlife are all within a short distance by the Mid-Levels escalator.


SOUTHSIDE PROPERTIES

Southside Hong Kong

Grand, contemporary developments in Southside share beautiful ocean views with coveted beach villas. Private members’ clubs such as The American Club, Country Club and Hong Kong Golf Club, which are all located nearby, provide the most ideal facilities for you and your family to enjoy.

Why you should consider:
Only a stone’s throw away from excellent schools, family recreational areas, outdoor markets and occasional boozy brunch spots.


REPULSE BAY PROPERTIES

Repulse Bay is popular for sightseeing, water sports, or beach lounging and The Pulse nearby is a great place for shopping and fine dining after spending your day on the sand. Lined with exclusive high-rise condominiums and magnificent hillside homes, the neighborhood of Repulse Bay offers an excellent accommodation with an array of amenities.

Why you should consider:
Amazing sea views and beaches nearby as well as the assortment of established international schools, such as South Island School, offer you the quintessential coastal lifestyles close to the city.


Jardine’s Lookout / Happy Valley

Happy Valley

Jardine’s Lookout is renowned by local celebrities and public figures while Happy Valley boasts a healthy mix of trendy city property and quiet sophistication. These locations are the ideal neighborhoods for families as they are both surrounded by long-established local schools and private members’ clubs such as the Hong Kong Jockey Club and Hong Kong Cricket Club.

Why you should consider:
CBD is easily accessible via a network of shuttle buses and fascinating night views from the northern slope of Hong Kong island is absolutely a big plus!


Kowloon Tong

Kowloon Tong

Today, Kowloon Tong has flourished into a residential neighborhood known for its large, free-standing homes and historically protected villas. The prestigious local and international schools located here, such as Yew Chung School, have also fueled Kowloon Tong’s popularity among both Hong Kong and expatriate families.

Why you should consider:
Several beautiful parks and commercial shopping areas are the keys for residents there as well as quick transportation via MTR from Kowloon Tong to the rest of the city.


SAI KUNG / CLEAR WATER BAY PROPERTIES

Sai Kung

Only 30 minutes away from Central Business District, both Sai Kung and Clear Water Bay are fantastic for a calm break from the commercialized city. For outdoor enthusiasts, the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club and Hebe Haven Yacht Club, which are both nearby, offer several exclusive amenities to its members.
