Kowloon Central: the beating heart of Hong Kong
- Blessed with a strong school network, good universities and a supply of prestigious properties, Kowloon Central is Hong Kong’s undisputed core, and continues to attract property investors in droves
Low-density luxury properties in Kowloon Central are sought-after by affluent families, especially those with children, because of the high quality school network in the area. While Kowloon Tong remains the district’s very heart, an increasing number of prestigious properties are coming up in the surrounding areas, from the mid-level Beacon Hill to the north of Kowloon Tong, to Ho Man Tin in the south.
Kowloon Tong has been home to the city’s wealthiest citizens since the 1920s, and is dotted with low-density detached houses and low-rise luxury apartment buildings. It is also the geographic centre of the Kowloon Peninsula, with highways linking eastern and western Kowloon.
Kowloon Tong MTR station serves as the transport hub between the New Territories and the city areas in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. Kowloon Tong has probably the best school network in Hong Kong, from kindergartens to international schools. Hong Kong Baptist University and City University of Hong Kong are also located within this area.
The supply of new luxury residences in Kowloon Tong has long been extremely limited. A newly completed property is Ayton, located at 18 Inverness Road and facing Kowloon Tsai Park. Developed by the Easyknit Group, the eight-storey property is divided into two towers, with 60 apartments ranging in size from 228 sq ft to 1,525 sq ft.
