Find a room in Hongkong

June 8, 2008 – 12:52 pm

Finding a room in Hongkong is not that difficult. Several websites offer lists of empty apartments for rent. You can find something from HK$ 2000 at the very low end until prices beyond imagination at the expensive end. I finally found a shared flat for a little less than HK$ 3500 after 1 day of searching. Probably is was really lucky with this nice place. Lot’s of small shops and restaurants surround my building, which is West of Sheung Wan. Prices there are quite cheap, if You move closer to the centre, like in Wan Chai rent becomes more expensive. Another way to get something inexpensive is to search in the New Territories or on Lantau Island. But be warned, You have to pay more for public transport if You live far outside and commuting times are long. Okay, here are the websites for room renting:
