House Type
Houses in Hong Kong are diverse, mainly including western-style buildings, tong lau, village houses, student apartments, etc. Friends can ask about the type and age of the house when viewing.

(1).Western-style buildings are divided into community properties and standalone western-style buildings. They generally come with security and elevators, and the rent for western-style buildings is usually quite high, while standalone buildings are slightly cheaper than community properties.

(2).Tong lau are old-style buildings in Hong Kong with a long age, lacking elevators, community facilities, and security. The rent is cheap, but they are not very safe, and the environment can be quite noisy. It is essential to conduct an on-site inspection before renting.

(3).Village houses are much larger compared to tong lau and western-style buildings, and many are located in beautiful environments. However, transportation may not be particularly convenient, and the quality of decoration varies greatly. It is best to inspect the environment of student apartments, which are ready to move in and offer various services that are more user-friendly, such as regular cleaning, free Wi-Fi, mold removal services, and social gatherings, which somewhat cater to the needs of new students in Hong Kong, but they may feel more like dormitories.
