Contrary to popular belief, the peak of Braemar Hill lies on the eastern end of Braemar Hill Road instead of the western end, where the ascent towards Red Incense Summit is noticeably steeper. Hikers often misidentify Red Incense Summit and nearby hilltops as the peak of Braemar Hill.
The north and western sides of this hill are largely residential, consisting primarily of private upmarket real estate. Because of its convenient location and high real estate prices, Braemar Hill is considered one of the more affluent neighbourhoods in the territory.
The area is home to a large number of schools, including one-third of the secondary schools in Eastern District.[2]
Braemar Hill formerly had the Japanese International School, Hong Kong's junior high school section.[3] In April 2018 the junior high school moved to the Happy Valley campus.[4]
The Hong Kong Government has proposed building a pedestrian link and escalator system between Braemar Hill and Fortress Hill, which has an MTR station. It would be the second such system in Hong Kong, after the Central–Mid-Levels escalator.[5][6]
