Descriptions of Hong Kong have ranged from ‘spectacular and exotic’ to ‘crowded and polluted’ and everything in between. Whichever description fits your experience, it is hard to deny that this harbor city is vibrant and diverse. The perfect combination of East and West, Hong Kong’s energy and constant activity brings an experience of unique sights and sounds amongst a backdrop of intoxicating color.

Hong Kong is densely populated, with a population of approximately 7 million and a total land area of only 1,042 sq km. As 40% of the land is made up of National Parks and much of the remaining area is mountainous, it is unsurprising that approximately 80% of people live on 8% of the land. The average public housing flat is only 334 square feet and has 3.2 people per household. Despite this, choices available in the residential rental market are surprisingly varied.
