Neighbourhood Features
Kowloon Tong, located in the central part of the Kowloon Peninsula, stands out as a rare low-density luxury residential area in the city. Since the 1920s, it has undergone land reclamation and the development of British-style residences and urban planning. Today, the government maintains the original low-density British architectural style, restricting the plot ratio and number of stories for residential developments in Kowloon Tong. As a result, the predominant housing types in the area are villas and detached houses, contributing to a serene environment and high privacy levels.
The district is home to two government-funded universities, Hong Kong Baptist University and City University of Hong Kong. Being part of a prestigious school network, Kowloon Tong is favored by many families. The large shopping mall, Festival Walk, is a prominent landmark in Kowloon Tong, offering a wide range of shopping and dining options with various chain restaurants and stores, catering to residents' daily needs. In terms of transportation, Kowloon Tong Station is a crucial interchange connecting the Kwun Tong Line and East Rail Line, providing convenient access to various districts in Hong Kong.
