    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.

    True about the cost. For the record, I don't live there. Could not afford to, to be honest. Just visit there some times. But have always felt it was a nice place if I ever had the coin.

    As for "everything Pokfulam is not supposed to be", um I'm bad with double negatives. You mean that PFL is high density low efficiency or that Cyberport is high density low efficiency? Just wondering.

    Thanks
