This article is about public housing estates in Yuen Long New Town. For public housing estates in Tin Shui Wai (also in Yuen Long District), see public housing estates in Tin Shui Wai.
Shui Pin Wai Estate (Chinese: 水邊圍邨) is the second public housing estate in Yuen Long Town. It has 7 residential blocks mainly built in 1981,[4] but one of the blocks, Dip Shui House, was later built in 1998.
Long Ching Estate (Chinese: 朗晴邨) is the site of the former Yuen Long Estate. The former estate had five buildings and was demolished in 2001. Originally the Housing Authority planned to build three 32-storey blocks on the land. However, the District Council believed the land should be privately developed to boost the local economy. The government eventually divided the land in two, offering part of the site for private development of Yuccie Square.
The new estate comprises two blocks of non-standard design offering 483 flats. It is designed to accommodate about 1400 residents.
Long Ping Estate (Chinese: 朗屏邨) is a mixed public/TPS estate in Wang Chau[6] near MTRLong Ping station. It is the third public housing estate in Yuen Long Town. It has a total of 15 residential blocks completed between 1986 and 1989.[7] In 2005, some of the flats were sold to tenants through Tenants Purchase Scheme Phase 6B.[8][9]
Long Bin Interim Housing (Chinese: 朗邊中轉房屋) is an Interim Housing estate in Castle Peak Road, Ping Shan, Yuen Long.[6][11] It had eight residential blocks completed in 1999.[12] Unlike public housing estates, it was used to accommodate affected families who are not immediately eligible for allocation of public rental housing.[13] The estate was then demolished between 2016 and 2017 for development of public estates.
Long Bin Interim Housing is in Primary One Admission (POA) School Net 72. Within the school net are multiple aided schools (operated independently but funded with government money) and one government school: Tin Shui Wai Government Primary School (天水圍官立小學).[14]
Wang Fu Court (Chinese: 宏富苑) is a Home Ownership Scheme estate completed in 2017. It comprises a single residential block in the Tung Tau Industrial Area, next to the Yuen Long Nullah.[15]
