We make mistakes and then we learn...
We used to live at Celeste Court, 3br 1119 Gross Sqr feet and pool. Have you checked there?I pay 60k for 1000sqf. In reality it's maybe 750.
while I love HV, facilities are rare and the kids demand a pool...
There are a few others along Ventris road (with Pool) and ofcourse, you've got Leighton Hill which you know about.
Great location though. Kennedy Town and Sai Ying Pun full of new restaurants, next to a shopping center, and on top of an MTR station. Roadwise Western Tunnel is 1 minute away. But yes the flats aren't great, weird shapes and kind of old looking. But I would rather pay $60K to live in 1000+ sq ft in Belcher's than in 700 sq ft and no facilities in Happy Valley, which has major traffic issues.Original Post Deleted
Update:
Saw some great flats at both The Austin and Grand Austin with an agent. Unfortunately the ones I really liked were way over my budget.
Then we found an okay one but the landlord gave me bad vibes. She wanted a months rent in case we would not sign the contract before a certain time without showing me the contract. I decided to not take the flat.
By then I was getting frustrated and almost ready to take the same flat almost on ground level because there was no other option.
Two days before signing the TA while out for drinks a friend of a friend knew somebody's cousin who looked to rent out a flat there. Turned out to be one of the perfect ones. We met, she asked how much I can pay and agreed! No agent fees, newly decorated and we could just pick which furniture we want to keep.
Moved in yesterday!
