I will be working in Tai Tam off the bay (Hong Kong Island) and it's been recommended to me I live in Stanley. Being in my mid-30's and single, I don't think I want to live in Stanley (or do I?) as I've heard it's a family town. I wonder about the ease and length of a commute to work, yet I'd like to be in a place to easily meet up with other expats for running clubs, quiz nights, etc. Based off looking at a map, Causeway Bay, Tin Hau & Wan Chai areas seem to be my better options. Any opinions about any of these or others? How long do you think my commute will be? My allowance will be around 18K and I'm hoping that will get me at least a nice/modern 1BRM around 500ft2. Any advice welcome!
