Cost of Living in Hong Kong: 2016

Hong Kong is currently one of the most expensive cities to live in Asia.

Wherever you go, property prices are perennially very high in Hong Kong and, unless you are sharing with one or two others, you can expect to be paying rental beginning around US$ 1,000 per month for a small apartment in an outer area, but more likely US$1,500; the only way after that is up and most foreigners (unless you are living in a relatively luxurious unit) seem to end up spending around US$2,000-2,500 per month on rent (don’t forget the other charges such as management fees, electricity costs and so on).
