Is the cost of living in Discovery Bay high?

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Discovery Bay, they wrote:

"The cost of living in Discovery Bay is considered to be quite high compared to other areas. Housing is the most significant expense, with rental prices for apartments being particularly steep. The cost of groceries and dining out is also higher than in many other parts of Hong Kong, due to the area's remote location and the fact that it caters to a largely expatriate population. Transportation costs can also add up, especially if one needs to commute to the city center for work or school. However, the area offers a high quality of life with its clean environment, recreational facilities, and international community, which many residents feel justifies the higher cost of living," explained one expat living in Discovery Bay.
