My husband and I are considering a move from London to Hong Kong with our new baby. The move would be through my husband's work. He would not receive a housing allowance but would get the benefit of the lower tax rate.
Our absolutely top budget for accommodation would be HK$60k/month (and preferably a bit less...) and we were wondering where the best areas might be for that sort of money?
My husband would work in Central. Initially I would not work (due to newborn) but would eventually also look for a job if my visa permitted it.
We have been recommended both Happy Valley and Repulse Bay - would either be within our budget? We've also been recommended Discovery Bay, but would probably rather stay on the island, at least for the first 6 months or so of our stay. Ideally, we'd like a 3 bedroom place (ie, with room for a maid if needed) within a safe complex with a pool. We'd like an area that wasn't too polluted (so probably not Midlevels..) but had relatively easy commuting access. We may consider getting a small dog at some stage in the future, though this wouldn't happen immediately.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated! Many thanks in advance.
