Hello,

We (my wife and I) are coming back to Hong Kong after a break of about a year. I will be working in Tai Koo (near Quarry Bay). Last time we lived in Happy Valley and had a nice place overlooking the race course, although it could be a bit noisy at times (we were near the tram stop). Our budget will be about $20K.

I like quiet places, so was possibly looking into Sai Kung (which I hear is popular with expats). Is most of the accommodation in Sai Kung "Village Houses" and if so what are the like to live in? How would the commute be to Tai Koo? I noticed that some of the accommodation in Sai Kung can be quite cheap (e.g. $9K). What are thee types of places like?

Thanks for your help.

Porky.
