CWB is probably alittle too noisy for a family. If u wan a conducive environment for ur kids, its definitely not a gd place. Western Mid levels, Kennedy Town have pretty gd sch selections and if u look carefully u can definitely find something u will like.
Else, there's always Sai Wan Ho.. Grand Promenade is really nice with more spaces on the streets than the cramped & littered-with-shops streets in CWB.. MTR travel here in HK is amazingly fast & u can get to CWB in no more than 30 mins frm ur doorstep.
they still have quite a number of units unrented. The large supply of apts is making the rental cheap. was offered one 600sq ft, 2 bdrooms @ 11k.. IF u need soemthing bigger, be prepared to pay up to 25k..
I was at Kennedy Town & the apts are cheap too. Likewise the same SS vs Dd causing the rates to be lowered. The area is older but the merton estate is new and u get alot of buses and trams routes to town. Think u can get something decent ard 800 sq ft, 3 bdrooms, on their tower 3 for 12k if u bargain hard enough..
btw, u can go to gohome.com.hk to have an idea of rentals in hk..
