What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Hong Kong?

We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Hong Kong is like. They answered...

"Our first apartment was a very nice, large (for HK) apartment in an expat neighborhood (MidLevels). Yes, I think most expats live in this area. The apartments in this area are generally Westernized (for example, they have ovens - many HK apartments do not!). I'd recommend the area to newcomers, then they can assess if they want a more walkable area with local culture (as we did). But we are happy that we started in MidLevels," explained one expat living in Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
