I'm considering moving to HK. Assuming money is not such an issue, where is the best place to live? I'll be working in Central. I am married with a kid on the way. I have heard Repulse Bay and Stanley are very pleasant but I'm worried it'll be a bit of a hike to work every day. I'm very attracted to the mid-levels for this reason. Summing things up, where should we definitely not live and where should we strongly consider?

It depends on your budget. You will pay far more to live at Repulse Bay/Stanley than you will pay for other places on the Island. It also depends on how timid your wife/you are. The two areas you mentioned tend to be very expat based areas which may be good if you are not keen on the move to HK.
I don't like mid-levels as it is incredibly dense living but if you are coming from another major city you may well be used to it. Also I wouldn't want to raise a young child in such a confined area. It would be very convenient for you though workwise.
Check out other areas such as Happy Valley, Jardines' Lookout, Shui Fai Terrace, Stubbs Road for alternatives.
