My kind of apt. Everything is within arm’s reach.
Looks like a prison cell.
That’s 487,92 USD.
My question is…who’s taking the picture??
Definitely wrong, this is at least a few years ago and now you would be lucky if you can rent a place like this for double the amount
£360/month
Why is this post labeled with politics? Oh right, it has the word Hongkong it. Face-palm
It’s like when Bender and Fry moved in together. Make sure you check the closet there may be a living room!
Eastern Europe must be heaven then
OK, but that’s less than $500 USD. I would expect that kind of thing for that price, if anything that price existed in the US.
I don’t have claustrophobia but this picture makes me claustrophobiac
Is this an apartment for ninjas? Where’s the door?
Suddenly my 800 square foot apartment for $1200 a month doesn’t look so bad.
Looks like hell
no way this is still 3.8k a month, maybe 5-6k now
The price varies a lot depending on the district. In most cases, one should expect about 80sq ft at that price. But for some, it is just enough for the top or bottom bunk space.
Keep in mind the median income of Hong Kong is $18000 per month though. The average home size is about 130sq ft per person.
So for an average single person with an average job, you should be expected to live in an apartment just slightly larger than one in this photo.
And for those who are really poor, they live in what is called “coffin cubicles” or “cage houses”, which is just a 2 ft x 6ft space.

Well it’s… Compact? How’s the air quality?
A friend of mine emigrated to HK. When I was there for work I visited him and let as his apartment. He had a tiny room in a tiny appartment shared with two others and his rent alone was almost double the mortgage I pay for my 3 bedroom house.
Damn we have in my town 2bedrooms+living room bathroom And kitchen for 600$
Lol
lots of ‘I wouldd happily pay that’
Minimum wage in HK is 37.5HKD aka:
4.24 Euros
4.81 dollars
3.55 GBP
Per hour
How are the roommates supposed to play night crawlers in that size of a room?
And I thought my $1700 condo was small. That’s brutal
What’s that in Freedom dollars?
Funny thing is, that NY apartment is most probably rented as temporary until the tenant “makes it” while this looks like *they live there*.
Most people here don’t seem to know Hong Kong is the 4th most expensive city in the world. And you can’t just take what you make in America and transfer it over to another country that is not how things work. The Average salary in Hong Kong is under 19k USD a year.
So that is like 500 USD, no?
What’s their income tho?
I think the exchange rate is around 7-8 usd. So about $500 a month. I’ll be more interested in what a HK10,000 a month apartment looks like. That seems to be the norm when I was there
