Moving to HK from U.S.

22 years ago
I am travelling to Hong Kong in early September and will be looking at possible places for myself, my wife and my young son (11 months) to live.

Can anyone recommend any locations in particular that would be convenient and nice to live in if I will be working in the Central area? It has been suggested to us to look at Happy Valley, Mid-Levels, Discovery Bay and Lamma Island. What are the real positives and drawbacks with each of these places that I can't glean from a book?

We are looking for a place with a nice mixture of Local Nationals and Expats (at least initially) before we become comfortable with the language and culture.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
