Where should I live in Tsim Sha Tsui?

We asked digital nomads and expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Tsim Sha Tsui involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget. The cost of living in Hong Kong is high, and Tsim Sha Tsui, being a popular and central area, can be particularly expensive. Next, you should decide what type of accommodation you're looking for. Options range from serviced apartments and private rentals to shared accommodation. If you're planning to stay for a short period, a serviced apartment might be the best option. For longer stays, a private rental could be more cost-effective. Once you've decided on the type of accommodation and your budget, you can start your search. There are several online platforms where you can find listings, such as Squarefoot, 99.co, and Spacious. These websites allow you to filter your search based on location, price, size, and other features. Another option is to hire a real estate agent. They can help you navigate the market, arrange viewings, and negotiate contracts. However, keep in mind that you'll have to pay a fee for their services. When you find a place you're interested in, arrange a viewing. Make sure to check the condition of the property, the facilities, and the neighborhood. Ask about the terms of the lease, including the duration, the deposit required, and any additional fees. Finally, once you've found a place that meets your needs and budget, you can proceed with the lease agreement. Make sure to read the contract carefully before signing. If you're not familiar with Hong Kong's rental laws, it might be a good idea to get legal advice. Remember, finding a place to live in Tsim Sha Tsui, or anywhere in Hong Kong, can take time and patience. But with careful planning and research, you can find a place that suits your needs and budget," remarked one member in Tsim Sha Tsui.
