Its finally time, the lill one is getting bigger, myself too, etc etc. so we need a bigger space. we seek something with 3 bedrooms, pref also a amah quarters, size 900 feet and up. with 5 people (sometimes 6) and 2 cats we need the extra space desperately.
budget 15 K
am i really doomed to tung chung, sai kung, outlying islands or is there still hope somewhere on HK island or Kowloon but within reasonable distance of HK South side?
any suggestions, pls let me know.

I think your doomed to moving towards the 'sticks'...
We're 5 peeps, sometimes 6 and often friends kids staying over w/my 2 kids. No animals, except myself..
I just got a 4 bedroom (master w/en-suite, 2 main bedrooms and 1 smaller bedroom suitable for amah, 2nd bathroom). Size is 1088 sq ft, 15k inclusive of management and gov't rates/rent, split air-cons, nice kitchen and deco...
But - - - - - - - - - - it's in "HK Lite" (Disco Bay)!
to be, or not to be, what was the question?

$25 one-way?
Does that come with in-seat entertainment and trolley-dollies serving free booze and nuts?

What about Kennedy Town/Sheung Wan? No idea what public transport is like from there to Stanley, tho.

Perhaps Whampoa Garden (Hung Hom) or Tanner Garden (North Point) with some serious, serious bargaining...
It is almost impossible to exaggerate the complete unimportance of almost everything.

973 to Stanley.
KT, you can find bargains in Sheung Wan. I pay half your budget and I have a 2-bedroom place with roof garden and sea view. You need to negotiate hard though.

I guess being a local you get better deals.
Actually, it only takes one drink to get me loaded. Trouble is, I can't remember if it's the thirteenth or fourteenth.

You can surely get that in Chai Wan, and catch a minibus direct to Stanley. Oh but do they have 900+ flats there I dunno...

Surely can you not find something that price in Aberdeen? Not South Horizon or that sort though.
On the other hand, not even Lamma can you find a place now, it's not about the price, it's that there isn't much going on in the rental market. Tooo many people moved here recently and now it's nearly over populated!

Looking in scmp property the cheapest rents on offer, $16 -$19 a sq foot.are Chai Wan, Shau Kai Wan, Western, followed by Shatin and Tai Po.
If you can stretch to nearer $20/- there are still flats available in Causeway Bay, close to Excelsior and Park Lane hotels, which are spacious and good price. I have 1600 sq foot here for $18/- but rent negotiation is due in a few mnths, so no idea yet what landlord will want after a three year period.(and get a local to do the bargaining, when landlord sees a white face interested, price increases a lot).

Gold Coast to Stanley is like a day trip in Hong Kong for tourists.
