Hong Kong Apartments To Rent

By Tim Skevington


Home to 250 islands or more, China's power city Hong Kong, over time, has come to be abuzz with tourist activity. Millions of people over the world visit the city of Hong Kong every year both for pleasure as well as work, The issue that most expatriates face after coming to the city is that of finding decent, advantageous as well as affordable accommodation. Many don't even know the wide number of property choices available. Since most foreigners tend to look out for Hong Kong apartments for rent, this article is dedicated to offering them information about the different kinds available.

Penthouse Apartments

This variety of apartments has become quite common in Hong Kong, over the years. Also referred to as duplex apartments, penthouses usually occupy two floors in a building. Duplex apartments in the city usually have a study, bedroom, guestroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom. Depending upon your accommodation requirements as well as budget, such apartments can have anything between one and three bedrooms, on an average. If a foreigner is ready to shell out more, a terrace is also provided with the rest of the living area.

Old Blocks of Apartments

Apartments of this variety are largely on the decline in Hong Kong now. Such blocks represent older remnants of the city and usually huge in area. Apart from independent rooms, they usually come with detached bathrooms and guest quarters. A distinct feature in these old apartments is the large balcony. Since they have been around for a while, they come for a lesser rate. Such apartment blocks are quite common in the Western District area of Hong Kong.

New Blocks of Apartments

This variety of apartments symbolizes the commercial development that Hong Kong has undergone over the last few decades. Usually larger than the old blocks, new block apartments flaunt modern spaces and appeal to the affluent sense of living. Though they are styled much like hotel rooms, these apartments afford a greater space as far as living area is concerned. A range of these new apartment blocks are to be found in areas like Victoria Peak in Hong Kong.

Serviced Apartments

Be it Hong Kong apartments for rent or Tokyo apartments for rent, the solution you are looking for could well be serviced apartments. Having developed mainly to cater to the tourist population in the city, these apartments come with a number of added advantages like air conditioning, television, refrigerator and sometimes even a personal kitchen. The best part about these apartments is that they do not entangle the occupant in unnecessary legal hassles and payment structures.
