Hello,
This is my first time on the forum, and I've noticed that it's better to give as much relevant detail as possible, so here goes:
- 22 year old single male
- about to move to HK in a few weeks to start work, which will be near the Bank of China tower in Central
- willing to spend around 20 ~ 30 minutes for commute to work, preferably a combination of walking and MTR, but not much longer than that
- I don't know what percentage of post-tax salary is typically spent on rent, but right now, I'd budget around HK$10~12K per month
- relatively convenient access to malls, restaurants, bars/clubs/pubs, cafes, supermarkets, etc. would be of course liked, but they don't have to be *instantly* accessible
- hopefully a reasonably new property with good facilities such as gym and swimming pool
- some higher-than-average density of expats would be cool, but doesn't have to be expat-central
- can be HK island or Kowloon
- I don't speak any Cantonese whatsoever, but hopefully that'll change soon!
So, what are your thoughts and advice for me? What kind of size can I expect? Is something around 500 sqft too big with those constraints? Do you have recommendations for specific complexes?
Thank you so much for your help!
