Centrestage – Living in Soho
As a young professional working in the major business sectors from Central to Quarry Bay, single or coupled, there are excellent and practical reasons to look for your home in the residential enclaves of Soho, Central and Sheung Wan.
These are suburbs that mesh together as inner city living and are the most popular for young expats moving to Hong Kong, looking to find a home that is convenient for work. These luxury homes offer a village-type lifestyle and every necessary convenience with shops, cafes, bars and restaurants, along with dry cleaning, medical, supermarket and gym facilities.
There are many good options in this area, with apartments ranging from studios to 3 and 4 bedrooms. Studios and 1-bedroom apartments are the most popular, and this slice of the market is exceptionally well catered to in inner Hong Kong. Globally, compared to most other cities, Hong Kong has higher rents due to the constant demand for housing, but it also has a decent supply. New developments are springing up, and these new Hong Kong apartments for sale can easily accommodate the lifestyle that young professionals require, with ultra-modern, open plan interiors and club houses with resort type swimming pools, recreational zones and fitness studios.

In the Area
Hollywood road is famous historically for its antique stores but in more recent years has also become known for a great selection of restaurants that cater to all kinds of dietary needs. With a well patronized café on your doorstep, Classified, and a 24-hour 7eleven right across the road, running out of supplies and groceries is never an issue. Taxis are in abundance at the front door if you need to get further afield or are in a hurry. However, the true benefit of living this close to Central, is the fact that you can walk to work or the MTR in a matter of minutes.
The famous Man Mo temple tourist attraction is a single minute down the road, and there are a couple of lovely parks as you head further down Hollywood Road. Almost next door is the recently opened PMQ precinct, which houses a number of restaurants and boutique shops selling handmade local designers jewellery and fashion items. Close by, Ladder Street takes you down to Catstreet which is lined with local Hong Kong antique stores and stalls selling everything from expensive dynasty furniture, jewellery and object de art, to vintage clothing, handbags, memorabilia and tourist items. Great for visiting guests to buy gifts to remember moments on their trip.
