I would like to find out several things:
1. Living condition (security, noise level, air quality, etc)
2. Education/Schools (daughter to attend K1 soon)
3. Transportation (commute to work in Sheung Wan, Central)
4. Recreation facilities
Your advise would be much appreciated.

1. Security is great. Round the clock security gaurds often rotated so you will never see a sleeping guard. There is no noise as we are not near enough to any major road. But I suppose this would depend on where in the complex you are. If you are facing the bus station and taxi stand you might have a different experience. Air quality seems good to me due to the constant breeze from the harbour. Laguna Verde is directly on the water with a very nice long promenade full of joggers in the mornings and evenings.
2. Don't know as I don't have children
3. Take the 8P bus at Laguna Verde's bus station...never really crowded...fifteen minutes to TST ferry. You can take the ferry to Central. So total time to Central about 30 minutes.
4. There is a small park, also great outdoor and indoor swimming pools similar to luxury pools found at resorts, small weight lifting/cardio facility you must pay HKD 180 per month for or HKD 10 per use. There are also several tennis courts and squash courts as well. All facilities you must pay a small fee for use.
As for the 10 K I am surprised it is so cheap, perhaps one bedroom apartments are going for that.
