Kennedy Town has become an alternative to Mid Levels especially for ex-pats working in Core Business Districts. It is culturally diverse, pet friendly, and easily accessible to plenty of shops, restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets catering to all nationalities and preferences while remaining a large element of local charm for you to experience. Although it is only 8 mins from core Central by MTR, it is within walking distance from an extensive country park area. Also, you will never be far from the harbour, as many apartments are at arm’s reach to the waterfront.
