Discovery Bay on Lantau gets my vote (because it's where we live with our toddler and baby),

For little ones you have-
Lots of playgrounds
Lake with fish and turtles that you can feed
Beach
Residents clubs with indoor playrooms and swimming pools
Real grass that little ones can run around and kick a ball on
Lots of playgroups, activity classes for little ones
Lots and lots of other little ones to play with (and lots of other Mummy's to chat with)

Db is very accessible to central, as vegmitekid said- the ferry runs 24 hrs; we also have buses (every 20 mins) to the MTR (15 min bus ride) and airport.
We are also very, very close to Disneyland.

Plus in DB itself there is everything you need for day to day living- supermarket, bank, post office, restaurants, doctor etc.

DB is cheaper, rent wise, than HK Island but not as cheap as Lamma, or the other side of Lantau.
You would find something for 15k here though- if you don't mind living in an apartment in a relatively high rise apartment.


Sai Kung is nice but I really think you need a car if you live there. Public transport in HK is generally excellent but there aren't a lot of public transport links in Sai Kung and getting there by public transport from anywhere central takes an age!

Cheung Chau I think would be the cheapest place to live but the ferry there takes approx. an hour(possibly longer) and doesn't run all night.
