North Point Accommodation
Roughly speaking, North Point is the area of housing from Tin Hau to North point and includes the hillside part known as the North Point Mid-Levels. It lacks any large scale fancy shopping malls like the ones found in Causeway Bay and this is reflected in the more reasonable accommodation prices. There is also a more down to Earth range of good apartments available. However, you will still be paying Hong Kong Island prices and Central is still a quick and easy MTR journey away.
Just a little uphill from the very long Kings Road is the tranquil North Point Mid-levels where apartments may have nice views of the harbour and surrounding mountains. This part of Hong Kong Island is sometimes referred to as the so called 'elite school networks' with the Hong Kong Japanese School and the Chinese International School nearby, both situated at the ends of quiet roads.

North Point, just like everywhere in Hong Kong, has superb transport links around the clock. It has many traditional wet markets, restaurants, supermarkets and old fashioned 'mum and dad' owned shops that are popular with the local Chinese. In fact, living in North Point will make you feel much more like you are part of the local community compared to other expat areas.
You will also find some good mid-range hotels in this area with more reasonable pricing structures compared to those in Central.
