Where To Buy: Hong Kong’s Top 4 Locations For Luxury Homes

Hong Kong offers a distinct variety of luxury living, ranging from misty mountain peaks to serene beachfront retreats.

Abode2 explores the top 4 locations for real estate and investment.

Top areas in Hong Kong

1. The Peak

No address carries more weight than The Peak. Historically the home of the city's "tai-pans," it remains the most exclusive neighbourhood in the world. With breath-taking panoramic views of Victoria Harbour and the glittering skyline, properties here—often discreet colonial-style mansions or ultra-modern glass villas—continue to command record-shattering prices.

2. Repulse Bay & Deep Water Bay

For those who prefer the scent of the sea to the mountain air, the Southside offers a resort-like lifestyle. Repulse Bay is famous for its designer crescent beach and high-end colonial architecture, while Deep Water Bay is known as the "Billionaire’s Row," home to some of the city’s wealthiest tycoons.

3. Mid-Levels Central

Perched halfway up the mountain above the Central Business District, the Mid-Levels offer the perfect balance of convenience and class. Famous for the world’s longest outdoor escalator system, this area is the preferred choice for high-earning expats and finance professionals who want to be minutes away from their offices and the nightlife of Soho.

4. Kowloon Tong

In a city of skyscrapers, Kowloon Tong offers a rare luxury: space. Characterised by low-rise mansions, gated communities, and prestigious international schools, it is the premier choice for established families looking for a more "suburban" feel within the heart of the city.

The investment landscape: Why now?

The shift in sentiment is palpable. According to CBRE and Knight Frank data from early 2026, the commercial sector has rebounded significantly, driven by a "flight to quality." Foreign funds are aggressively targeting Grade-A office spaces and trophy assets, viewing current valuations as a strategic entry point before the next growth cycle.

This institutional "buy-in" is providing a safety net for residential investors.

With interest rate cuts easing borrowing costs and the government’s talent attraction schemes bringing a new wave of high-net-worth residents to the city, the luxury rental market is projected to grow by 3% to 5% over the coming year.
