The commute to Central starts to edge over the 30 minute mark during peak times. This was in fact the main reason why we never seriously considered Stanley. Even the next closest place, Repulse Bay, is a good 10-15 minutes closer to downtown. OF course, if you don't mind the commute time you're fine.
Also the central parts of Stanley are often overrun by tourists and shoppers going to the market.
Not saying you shouldn't go live there. Just that like any other place, it has it's drawbacks.
