    I'm curious about how Tai Po is close to Tsing Yi ?????????

    Even point-to-point MTR stations is over 45 minutes, then need to add getting between home / office and station.

    Tai Po is not near Tsing Yi at all! WTF!!

    If you have a school place in Tai Po then why not just move there - it pretty much fills your requirements. You have a wide range of accommodation types to choose from and it is definitely more within your budget.

    Not sure about rental prices at the moment but I am fairly certain your budget requirements (25k for 1200sq ft) are more achievable. But for that size apartment at that price you are looking at either a duplex in a village house or one of the better apartment complexes (that will include clubhouse and facilities). You might get a smaller (900-1000 sq ft) 3 bed/2 bathroom place for around 20k.

    compared to Tin Hau ..Tai po is close..sorry not specified it..By the way Hong Kong If you have MTR Connectivity nothing is far away..Definitely travel time is going to be 30 -45 minutes..

    tsing yi to tai po market via MTR: 47 minutes.
    tsing yi to tin hau via MTR: 32 minutes....

    hmmmm.....i know, to drive it, it would be faster to drive to tin hau (unless you hit traffic jams in central) than to tai po.

    Hello again Guys ,

    The decision criterion changed a bit , with another school option, we are now more or less certain that we shift to Kowloon tong and the near abouts .

    I kind of liked the feel of Kowloon Tong , guess it has it's pluses and minuses like most areas .
    Could someone recommend buildings/flats in Kowloon tong area that we could look at eventually to stay in ?
    Budget is 25-30 k , area requirements min 1000 sq ft !!

    Thanks in advance guys

    Really? Oh well in that case I'm more or less certain that Tsing Yi or Timbuktu may or may not fit the bill.
