A minibus line is located outside United Count to connect to the Yuen Long town center. Modular integration construction method is adopted when building United Court. It consists of 8 residential blocks; each block has four floors without lifts. United Court offers 1-person, 1-2-person, 2-3-person and 4-5-person units and accessible units to cater for the needs of different families.
