My GF and I are thinking about buying a flat in DB within the next 3 months. We are looking to get married and she is 7 weeks pregnant.
We have lived in central locations on HK island for over 6 years and love the face paced life, bars and restaurants. However, we are going to get married and have a baby so need more space, possibly a live in helper and a more relaxed environment.
In DB, we can get a 800 + sf flat for under HKD3m unlike in central where we would be lucky to get one of 500sf. Also, the transport seems to have improved since we last looked in DB.
Anyone else done this for similar reasons? Any suggestions on good buildings?

did you look at park island? very similar to db but more facilities for kids like clubhouses and playgrounds plus beach right in front of your door.
plus transport to central seems more convenient. just a suggestion...

I went to DB and looked for flat 3 months ago, some old buildings there have very reasonable price per sq ft, facing south (important in HK) and high ceiling. However, there are two reasons turned down the purchase:
1. limited shopping
2. the exhaust fume from the ferry is awful, it was terrible when I was waiting for the ferry, and sometimes I can smell it inside the ferry
