How do I find a place to live in Sai Ying Pun?

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

"Finding a place to live in Sai Ying Pun involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget. This will help you narrow down your options and make your search more efficient. Next, you should research the different types of housing available in Sai Ying Pun. This could include apartments, serviced apartments, or even shared housing. You should also consider the size of the property you need, the number of bedrooms, and any other specific requirements you may have. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms that list properties for rent in Hong Kong, such as 99.co, Squarefoot, and Spacious. These websites allow you to filter your search based on location, price, size, and other factors. You can also consider hiring a real estate agent to help you in your search. They can provide you with expert advice and access to properties that may not be listed online. Once you've found a property you're interested in, you should arrange a viewing. This will give you a chance to see the property in person and assess its condition. If you're happy with the property, you can then proceed to negotiate the terms of the lease with the landlord or real estate agent. This will include the rent, the length of the lease, and any other conditions. Finally, once you've agreed on the terms, you can sign the lease and move in. Remember to thoroughly read the lease before signing and ask for clarification if there's anything you don't understand. It's also worth noting that Sai Ying Pun is a popular area in Hong Kong, so competition for properties can be high. Therefore, it's important to act quickly when you find a property you like," said one expat who made the move to Sai Ying Pun.
