Hi All!!

Well, my question is simple... I'm moving to HK from Paris at the end of June and I'll work near the University in Sha Tin for an electronics company. I've been a couple of times in HK but still I'd like to have a clearer picture about rental budget.
How much money should I consider for a flat per month if my salary is 30K HKD ?? My idea is to live near my companie's building (15 minutes). Could you give me some ideas on nice places to live near HK university?? Near Science Park Avenue in Shatin New Territories.... The budget that I have in mind goes from 5K to 10K HKD for non roomate flat and 3,5K to 7K for sharing it.

I'm 26 yrs old guy, from Argentina (yep, faaaar away from Tsim sha Tsui....) and working in Paris since 2002. I'll be working in the telecom industry for a huuuuge brand.
I'm interested on sharing a flat also, so please dont hesitate to contact me!!!!


Thanks

Alan

Hi Alan,

You might want to take a look at the link below. These are serviced apartments, so everything is covered. The place is Ma On Shan in New Territories. Its quite a nice area to stay, but its nothing like the down town feel. Its close to the science park.

Ma On Shan is not near Science Park at all. Actually it's on the opposite bank of Shing Mun river, with no bridge between so the distance is quite far. I suggest u rent the place in Tai Po, only 1 KCR stop to University. The place is quiet, near park so a lot of fresh air, and better as rent is quite cheap, compare with other places in Shatin. Hope this can help.

If ure salary is 30k u might end up spend abt 5k-7k/mnth depending on ure size reqrmnt,bearing in mind that u are single.
if ure married maybe abt 10k n above...
some one had posted abt sharing a apt at HORIZON sometime back,SHA TIN the place is quite good..if u can strtch a bit maybe u can rent by your own.

Just look at the apartment in Shatin because it allows you to reach most of the places in HK conveniently. You may try to look at the flats in Shatin City One because they have different sizes of flats, so that you just find the rental flat fit your budget.
