How do I find a place to live in Causeway Bay?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"Finding a place to live in Causeway Bay involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget. This will help you narrow down your options as the cost of living in Causeway Bay can be quite high. Next, you should decide on the type of accommodation you want. This could be an apartment, a serviced apartment, or a shared house. If you're planning to stay for a long time, renting an apartment might be the best option. However, if you're only staying for a short period, a serviced apartment or a shared house might be more suitable. Once you've decided on your budget and the type of accommodation, you can start your search. There are several online platforms where you can find listings for rental properties in Causeway Bay. These include websites like 99.co, Squarefoot, and Spacious. You can also use a real estate agent to help you find a place. They can provide you with options that match your criteria and arrange viewings for you. However, keep in mind that you'll need to pay a commission if you choose to use an agent. When you find a place you like, make sure to visit it in person before making a decision. This will allow you to check the condition of the property and the surrounding area. Once you've found a place you're happy with, you'll need to negotiate the terms of the lease with the landlord. This will include the rent, the length of the lease, and any other conditions. Finally, once you've agreed on the terms, you'll need to sign the lease and pay the deposit and the first month's rent. Make sure to read the lease carefully before signing it to ensure you understand all the terms and conditions. Remember, finding a place to live in Causeway Bay can take time, so it's best to start your search well in advance of when you plan to move," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Causeway Bay.
