Living in Tai Hang

Victoria Peak - known locally as The Peak with an elevation of 552 m (1,811 ft) – is a famous residential and tourist district with a history of exclusivity and luxury, having attracted European expatriates in the early 19 th Century who preferred its more temperate climate, reaching their homes via sedan chairs until the famous Peak Tram was built in 1888.

Neighbours Stanley and Chung Hom Kok are seaside areas encompassing Stanley Beach, its famous Market and waterfront restaurant area, the hilly section above (Chung Hom Kok) and tranquil St Stephen’s Beach.

Sai Kung and Clear Water Bay are neighbouring seaside areas on the Kowloon side, favoured by water enthusiasts escaping the city’s high-rise bustle.

Fringing Central and Admiralty, Wan Chai is on the doorstep of the main business districts. Buzzing with energy and colour, the Star Street precinct within the hub of Wan Chai is a foody and nightlife lovers’ dream.

Shek O is a small residential village nestled at the base of the famous Dragon's Back Hills on the eastern tip of Hong Kong Island. It’s popular with expatriate and local families seeking low-rise, beach-side living and an outdoors lifestyle.

Kennedy Town is situated west of Central and predominantly residential - close enough to the heart of Hong Kong and all the city offers but with a more relaxed vibe.

Mid-Levels – or mid mountain area in Chinese – truly reflects its namesake. Perched at the base of The Peak overlooking Central, Mid-Levels offers breath-taking views and convenience.

With Central about six kilometres to the east and Wong Chuck Hang and Aberdeen about the same to the west, Pok Fu Lam provides a relatively leafy lifestyle and plenty of sea views while still being close to main business areas.

Redhill and Tai Tam Road are quiet, affluent seaside districts with cliff top vistas just minutes north of Stanley.

A couple of kilometres west of Central is the up and coming Sai Ying Pun, built on the steeply sloping lower slopes of Victoria Peak and western reclamation land fronting the harbour. It borders Kennedy Town and, further west, Pok Fu Lam.

South of Hollywood Road – Soho – is a vibrant cityscape bordering the famous Mid-levels escalator, the world’s largest outdoor covered escalator linking the Central business district with the higher streets of Mid-levels...

A unique resort-style community on Lantau Island developed in the 1970s, Discovery Bay is comprised of upmarket residential and commercial developments alongside a multitude of family friendly lifestyle options.

Once a traditional fishing village, Lamma Island – just 3km southwest of Hong Kong Island and clearly visible from Aberdeen to Repulse Bay - is home to a vibrant multicultural community lured by its laid-back atmosphere, welcoming community and low-density lifestyle.

Known as the retail heart of Hong Kong, Causeway Bay is a high density residential, commercial and financial district that borders Wan Chai to the west and North Point to the east, and is widely regarded for its proximity to all that the city has to offer.

Described as a mosaic of residential and industrial properties, Chai Wan lies at the eastern end of Hong Kong Island and is increasingly recognised as a location for those seeking an edgier approach to housing.

Happy Valley enjoys a village-style atmosphere at the base of several steep winding roads. It’s minutes from main business and shopping districts and yet is known for being offering a peaceful respite from its nearby, more high-density neighbours.

Repulse Bay and South Bay are sought-after neighbouring locations in the heart of the Southside district, encircling the popular expanse of Repulse Bay Beach and the quieter South Bay.

A modern, urban district of Kowloon, Tsim Sha Tsui is perched on the opposite side of Victoria Harbour from Hong Kong Island’s Central district. TST, as it’s commonly known, is a dense mix of old and new residential and commercial, alongside some of Hong Kong’s most popular five-star hotels.

Wong Chuk Hang is Hong Kong’s answer to New York’s Meatpacking district, known for its light industrial warehouse vibe and increasing commercial offerings.
