• Parents with babies, toddlers, or school-age children

• Families staying 1–12 months

What kind of Serviced Apartments Family with Children usually require in Hong Kong?

Families with children typically need serviced apartment with:

• 2 to 3 bedrooms

• space for play and storage

• quiet, safe neighbourhoods

• proximity to schools and parks

• kid-friendly building facilities

• flexible lease terms (3–6 months)

• fully furnished units

• housekeeping services

• kitchen for daily meals

A serviced apartment fills the gap between:

• hotel (too small and expensive for long term stay)

• traditional rental (long leases, unfurnished)

Best family-friendly areas in Hong Kong

• Hong Kong East e.g. Lanson Place Waterfront Suites is a serviced apartment located along the promenade in a quiet area without compromise to convenience i.e. less than 10-min walk from MTR Station. Meanwhile, it is close to an international school and a shopping mall.

• Hong Kong South e.g. Hong Kong Parkview, although it is located in a remote area (yet a luxurious and traditional residential area), it has one of the largest clubhouse among serviced apartments with supermarket and restaurant just within the development. There are also plenty of car parking space available.

• North Point e.g. Victoria Harbour Residence, located away from the busiest part of North Point with its own clubhouse facilities and shopping mall available. It has a combination of convenience and comfort.

Serviced Apartments in areas usually avoided by families

While every family is different, we often see parents steering away from the following districts when choosing a serviced apartment in Hong Kong:

Tsim Sha Tsui

Tsim Sha Tsui is one of Hong Kong’s busiest tourist and shopping zones. The area is filled with large crowds, heavy traffic, late-night activity, and frequent tour buses. Pavements can be narrow and congested, making stroller use inconvenient. The environment can feel hectic rather than residential. Families generally find it less suitable for daily routines with young children.

Mong Kok

Mong Kok is known for markets, street stalls, neon signs, and extremely high pedestrian density. It’s vibrant and fun to visit, but not the easiest place to live with kids. Streets are crowded almost all day, noise levels are high late into the night, and units tend to be smaller. Parents usually prefer quieter neighbourhoods with more open space, parks, and ease of access for prams.

Central

Central is Hong Kong’s main business district. It is convenient for work, but less ideal for family living. The area is dominated by office towers, steep hills, long staircases, and busy roads. Outdoor space is limited, playgrounds are few, and after-office hours it can become a nightlife hub in nearby Lan Kwai Fong. Families often find it more comfortable to live slightly away from Central, while there is no point to pay a higher rental level for a place that is not suitable to children.

What facilities families usually need in their Serviced Apartments?

When helping families, the most requested facilities are:

• kids’ playroom or playground

• swimming pool

• 24-hour security

• shuttle bus / MTR access

• supermarkets nearby

• childcare or babysitting referral

• cot / high chair on request

• washer/dryer in unit

For babies/toddlers, parents also ask:

• blackout curtains

• quiet units away from bars/traffic

• bath tub instead of shower only

Schooling considerations for families

Families often choose serviced apartments based on:

• International school bus routes

• ESF catchment areas

• proximity to kindergartens

• access to learning centres

Staying in a serviced apartment first allows time to:

• explore school options

• understand districts

• avoid rushing long-term leases
