Without knowing the OPs budget, I would still second looking at areas around the new extended MTR line (this includes Pokfulam). A lot of places have become more accessible to us, with the MTR stop in HKU (we do not have to deal with going through Bonham / Caine / Hollywood road on the Mini).
A bit more expensive than some of the other areas recommended, but I've noticed an increasing number of people moving here ... (used to be lifers... but seeing a larger number of transients / younger families).
On a personal note .. I cannot deal with belair ... it is everything that Pokfulam is not supposed to be .. high density / low efficiency and too much faux gold plated shit all around.
