"Living in Wan Chai is considered to be quite expensive. The cost of housing is high, with both rent and property prices being among the highest in the world. A small, one-bedroom apartment in the city center can cost a significant portion of a person's income. In addition to housing, the cost of groceries and dining out is also high. Imported goods, in particular, can be quite expensive. Public transportation, while efficient and widely used, is also a cost to consider. Healthcare in Hong Kong is excellent but can be costly, especially for non-residents. Education, particularly international schooling, can also be a significant expense for those with children.
