Park Island, Ma Wan, Hong Kong

Park Island prices are close to record highs, (but still very cheap in my opinion). Park Island Property Prices As you can see from the graph, prices on Park Island seem to be maintaining their gradual accent.

And an 23 November 2011 an upper level apartment in Block 2 unit C, sold at $6323 per square foot. Really quite suprising given the current turmoil on the global financial markets. Rentals still seem to be between $17 to $20 per square foot range.
