The Peak
The Peak is the highest area on Hong Kong Island, considered exclusive and regarded as the most prestigious housing location to live for expats. It is where the tai-pans chose to live due to the cool evening breezes. All buildings are low rise due to height restrictions. Many buildings have communal swimming pools, tennis courts and gymnasiums. The area is very green and has many pleasant walks.
Stunning views of the harbour or the south side of the island are everywhere.
For the very well healed, exclusive detached housing is also available.
One of the drawbacks of living in this area, occurring particularly in the spring is the mist and very high humidity. Adequate dehumidifying systems are essential to prevent damage to your house interior and furnishings.
The Peak is very well served by public transport and taxis.
