Fung Ting Court
Fung Ting Court (Chinese: 鳳庭苑) is a Home Ownership Scheme in Yuen Long Town. It has 2 blocks built in 2001. It was formerly the site of Yuen Long Factory Estate (Chinese: 元朗工廠大廈). The factory estate was built by the Resettlement Department in 1966, in order to relocate squatter factories and cottage workshops. In 1973, the management of the estate was taken over by the Hong Kong Housing Authority. In 1997, the clearance of the estate was completed. In 2001, two small blocks were built in the site.
Shui Pin Wai Estate
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, but one of the blocks, Dip Shui House, was later built in 1998.
Long Ching Estate
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
Long Ping Estate (Chinese: 朗屏邨) is a mixed public/TPS estate in Wang Chau near MTR Long 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. In 2005, some of the flats were sold to tenants through Tenants Purchase Scheme Phase 6B.
Long Bin Interim Housing
Long Bin Interim Housing (Chinese: 朗邊中轉房屋) is an Interim Housing estate in Castle Peak Road, Ping Shan, Yuen Long. It had eight residential blocks completed in 1999. Unlike public housing estates, it was used to accommodate affected families who are not immediately eligible for allocation of public rental housing.
