A: You can consider Southorn Garden in Wan Chai, where 670 sq ft apartments (or about 517 sq ft based on saleable area) were leased for between HK$17,000 and HK$19,000 per month recently. Opposite it is a single block building at 112 Johnston Road, which offers flats with a monthly rent from HK$11,000. If you prefer quieter areas, you can look for flats in Lockhart Road and Jaffe Road, and the rent there should be around HK$15,000.
Otherwise, you can find some options in Causeway Bay. There are some smaller units at Pearl City Mansion in Paterson Street. A 369 sq ft unit (or 287 sq ft based on saleable area) was leased for HK$11,800 per month in January.
But if you want newer properties in Wan Chai district, the rent will be at least HK$25,000 per month.
