Sai Kung/Clearwater, Sth Lantau or stay put?

I'm just looking for some advice from some fellow expats. We are considering moving, but having a hard time trying to weigh up the values of different areas. Not new to HK, but sometimes feel very ignorant of things about HK. We have 3 kids under 4 and currently live in DB... nice place (with yard) but we are kind-of popping out at the seams. So, we are thinking of moving out - I love Sai Kung/Clearwater Bay area, but what concerns me is, how much is there to do for really young kids. And which one is better, Sai Kung or Clearwater - or has anyone got any other ideas? Huge advantage of where we are now you walk to the end of nearly any street and there are parks and then of course on terrible days, there is Residents club which has decent facilities. Even though we have an outside area, kids sometimes go stir crazy and need adventures- plus I do a bit of work from home, so sometimes it is nice to send the helper out with the kids so I can get a moments peace. Will I be able to do that safely over there. I know even though DB is very Truman, you have to admit it is really set up for really young kids. Also the oldest goes to kindergarten and the second one goes to playgroup & the third loves socializing too... i just can't sacrifice that for a bigger place, a car, etc etc etc

The other place we are considering is South Lantau.... same issues again though, but up side is Hubby won't take as long to get to work as he would from Sai Kung. Finding it hard to find Alot of info on the places, but really would like to weigh up all the facts in order to make the right decision for us, but most importantly the kids - so I would really appreciate anyone's input and thoughts.

Hi, I am in a similar situation. I am an aussie mother of 3 (6,4 & 11months). We have just relocated here from Sydney. We have looked at all of those areas, but have not found anything suitable(for us). All of them have got great points as far as I can see, however the choice between space/facilities and location to be a hard one . We had a look at the Goldcoast on Saturday and it has everything there. The housing was great, the facilities were great and it only took us 20min in a car from Central. Apparently it can take up to 45mins in the traffic. The hardest thing is the schooling, so if I was you I would consider where your little ones are going to be going to school. Anyway, take a look at the website www.goldcoast.com.hk or you can email me at thestirlingfamily5@msn.com A lovley lady Sonia, has been helping me (through this site) and she lives at Clearwater Bay. Im sure she will let you know how beautiful it is there. Good luck with your decision.
