It is also very rare for young adults in HK to move out since housing is EXTREMELY expensive. and even if people can afford it, in my experience, they usually choose to live at home with their parents to save money

[Ryukendo]

Having travelled and stayed in HK for 2 years, I too as a foreigner knows that this is not the standard HK apartment.The ones in the video are the more premium and expensive ones.I was expecting a more realistic standard HK apartments here tho 😂, not these rich apartments.

[playmeagain]

I live in hk we spend over 55% of our salary just on rent for our tiny box home. the rest goes on imported food...

[kristytio]

The locations of these apartments are in the richer/well-off neighbourhoods, especially Sai Ying Pun (it's a really nice neighbourhood that's popular with expats because its littered with cafes). So it's not surprising that the rent is more expensive. If you're looking at neighbourhoods in New Territories, the rent is slightly cheaper depending on the building/estate. Co-living spaces are now becoming a popular option among young adults because of the insane rent prices. Also, most young adults usually live with their parents to save on rent.

[chuangxing]

This is rich people apartment, be more realistic...
Average salary in HK is < HKD20, 000/month. Most people in HK could not even afford what you are showing...

[nawwk]

Their apartment is humongous in Hong Kong standard.

[waiianc]

Those people are rich ...
most people cannot afford 30000 hkd apartment tho

[Natenie]

Keep in mind these are relatively affluent people in HK for sure. Good for them.

[johnnyw.]

True story. I'm from Hong Kong. I used to study in Los Angeles. One time I went in an apartment complex, a random local guy told me that I couldn't afford that place. I laughed.

[laditaanhari]

please make more videos about " what apartments look like around the world " cause i loved it

[britneyjoy]

okay but thank you for changing the layout of this series! it was so hard to keep up with the tours with the former editing style thank you

[rebeccasum]

Shows how much $$$ rent is in HK, however unrealistic of what a 'local HK' person lives in. Most of these are on expats I suspect....definitely people who are rich.

[kates]

That's some expensive square footage...

[nicolahui]

Views in Hong Kong are very important. The better the view, the more expensive the apartment, thats just facts

[DigitalLambchop]

Joon went OFF in the kitchen! lol! The Food looks great! That last view is INSANE

[hajarichinti]

This make me so thankful to my country and our home

[venom]

I would cry if I had to pay that much for such small a space.

[faureamour]

I'm always so amazed at Yvette varying apartment sizes and prices. I pay under $400 for a renovated attic in a midwestern US home. In my area, you can usually find 1-bedrooms that range from $500-$2000(for extremely nice.) You can also find 3-bedroom homes from $900-$3000+. It amazes me to how money stretches or doesn't around the globe.

[waynesworld]

Miss living in HK. The hk harbour is easily one of the most beautiful views at night

[aroundtheworldinaprildays]

I thought Japan apartments were small relative to rent, HK is on another level.
