Anyone living in Hang Hau that can offer some info about the area, such as if it's busy/quiet, lots of shops around, lots of foreigners to meet, ways to find accommodation/price of housing in the area.

Thanks a lot Smile

Well, yes and no. I guess it depends where you work, how far you have to commute, how far you want to commute and how much money you are willing to spend on housing.

I can honestly say that where I live on the Island is not crowded and from the floor we are on and the view we have, it isn't claustrophobic either....and won't cost you any more for the same size in TKO or similar...

Of course if you're out Hang Hau way, you might be in a village house rather than in a high-rise around the MTR station.

quite humid as well, and miles away from pubs. But you do often see expats around. I live around the area, pm me if you want.

No sir, I would beg to differ.

As an area, I find it insanely busy and horribly claustrophobic.

It's all subjective.

Hang Hau is fairly close to Sai Kung, which is an advantage if you like the outdoors. Don't know what it would be like to live there, though.
