I have been reading messages and thought you guys could help me find a house in HK .

the problem is that I have a budget of 8.5K - 9.5K HKD for an appartment. I am interested in a place which has a good view and is closer to Central (as I want to reduce the travelling time).... Any suggestions for areas?

I am already staying in an appartment which is 680 sq ft. will want to know about a place bigger or same atleast.

I am open to suggestions.

Shipps.

You could look in Sai Ying Pun and Kennedy Town. They're a lot of new apt buildings.

You can research the buildings on www.gohome.com.hk

Try University Heights ( 5 minutes from Westwood ) or Connaught Gardens ( Sai Ying Pun ), Cayman Rise ( Kennedy Town ) ...

All the Best

Try North Point/Fortress Hill/Tin Hau. There are some really good apartments available for your budget and apartment size, both old and new.

Personally I prefer older apartments because they are constructed and designed better.

From Kings road you are within 20 minutes of central by bus or tram, and right next to the mtr.

I have a wonderful agent who has moved me twice in this area. She also set me up with gas/electricity etc and negotiated with my landlord.

If you are interested in this area, let me know, I'll leave you her contact details.

Cheers

Thanks Rani, Sankar and Heisha

I did go around to these places as you suggested but for the given budget I had in mind....the houses were very cramped. We have finalized a deal in Kowloon side...good view and good interiors !! Thanks a bunch for the help. though for one year I will be in this house maybe next year I will again bother you guys to again help me out.
