Tung Tau Estate

Tung Tau Estate is a public housing complex in Wong Tai Sin District comprising 20 buildings that rise between 24 and 29 floors. The development contains more than 6,600 residential units spread across the site with various community facilities for residents.

The estate was constructed in phases between 1982 and 1993 as Hong Kong expanded its public housing supply. It replaced older residential blocks on the same location, becoming an important part of the city's housing stock.

The name comes from the original village of Tung Tau that occupied this site before development. Residents use the shared facilities like markets and parks throughout the complex as part of their daily routines, creating a strong sense of community.

The estate is located along Tung Tau Tsuen Road and is easily accessible from Wong Tai Sin MTR station nearby. The area is served by buses and other local transport, making it convenient to navigate the neighborhood.

A notable aspect is the Tenants Purchase Scheme introduced in 2002, which allowed long-term residents to buy their apartments. This transformation turned many residents into homeowners and shifted how people felt about living in the complex.
