ANY additional QOL stuff (like furniture
) and your over. Maybe I missed the smiley face
p.s. If you add a spouse and a couple of kids ... bring $$$
Try the "new towns", like Tung Chung. Very close to the airport and there are some seaview ones for only 9000HKD about (approx 1200 USD) , 700 sq/ft, furniture included (Seaview Crescent). No utilities inlcuded though. But yes, I will agree with you on the fact that adding a family really doesn't allow for 2700 to stretch very far.
Do you live in Kowloon or in Hong Kong Island? Lantau Island seems to be the newest and one of the cheaper ones.
