Hi there,
I just got a job in Sheung Shui, New Territories. I'll be moving there the last week of August. I'm looking for a 1 bedroom furnished apartment in the area. If anyone knows of anything, please message me.
Thanks!

Not specifically, but you can try:-

and also asiaexpat/geoexpat - but pricier flats

Most people just turn up to the area they want to live in, and find a property agent to help them.

Always best to move into a serviced apartment or a hotel until you find out where you really want to live.
A friend found her flat before she came to Hong Kong. She thought it was OK until she saw my place and realised she had been ripped off!

Thanks for the advice and info folks. I wouldn't commit to anything without seeing the place first, but was just hoping someone over there already might have some thoughts or leads. I really appreciate the help.
See y'all in HK soon!

Well I am moving out of MY furnished apt. near Ma On Shan - a five minute bus ride to University MTR and, I guess, about 15 minutes to Sheung Shui. It is two bedroom though, and might not be close enough for you - but a beautiful flat, in a great complex and lovely location.

I am not that familiar with Sheung Shui other than as the place to cross over into the Mainland - but I know the Sha Tin, Ma On Shan area pretty well, if you have any questions

Hey all...
I found a 2 bedroom furnished apartment in Fanling after two stressful days of going to various real estate agents.
Thanks again for all the advice, Rob
