South Horizons – Hong Kong
South Horizons in Hong Kong is located in Ap Lei Chau, part of the Island South area of Hong Kong Island. A waterfront development built by Cheung Kong Holdings in the early 1990s, South Horizons is an up and coming and within the next area of growth. Mass Transit Railway, MTR, the local subway operator is expanding it’s Island Line with a station at South Horizons, providing this once subway-less neighborhood into a place of convenient access. Property prices are around HKD 5,000 to 6,000 a square foot right now, but the Island South feel, along with the new subway line may make Ap Lei Chau feel like an in-city version of Repulse Bay or Tai Tam. Older properties in nearby Tai Tam and Repulse Bay fetch easily for HKD 15,000 a square foot. Though South Horizons may not be considered a luxury property, it should still benefit due to its Island South location.
For more information about properties in South Horizons, I would suggest contacting a property professional in the area.

South Horizons is in an up and coming location but unfortunately I am not a big fan of properties built by Cheung Kong. They aren’t usually of the best quality. But for the price, they are a reasonable I guess.

Yeah, I agree with Hong Kong Person.
Cheung Kong’s properties aren’t all that great. I heard that Hampton Place, one of their projects built in 2002 in the Olympic Station area – nice views, but my friend says that it is leaking. I have to confirm that, but leaks are a major problem. Also, I cannot stand their floor plans with bedroom doors directly off the living room.

Live at 2E block 10, for 5 months have tried to get management and owner to stop sewage floods in the flat. This is a major health problem in the city of SARS and no one will fix it. Department of Health will not assess for health safety unless I die or have a dangerous virus. I want the problem solved before that happens. Owner will not refund the deposit as we have a lease. Wonderful place until you have a problem Then it is Hell!

Hugh-
I think the primary reason for that is that CKH isn’t the best quality builder in Hong Kong, but overall, its still a pleasant place to live. The views are great and with the MTR coming there shortly, it will be very convinient to get to anywhere in Hong Kong. By the way, so where do you live now?
