Lung Tak Court (Chinese: 龍德苑) is also a Home Ownership Scheme court in Stanley near Ma Hang Estate. It was originally planned for rental housing, but it was later converted to HOS court for sale. it consists of four residential blocks completed in 2000. Owners who have paid the land premium may rent their premises out in the open market.

It is considered to be very convenient because it is located right next to Stanley Plaza and to the transport interchange.[5][6]
