    Default MRT estates that are exclusive

    Ever wondered why projects near these MRTs almost always also create new highs?

    Green line: Kembangan, Tanah Merah
    Blue line: Lakeside
    Red line: Dhoby Ghaut, Somerset, Orchard, Newton, Novena
    Purple line: Woodleigh, Kovan
    Orange line: Pasir Panjang

    Because there are few or none HDB blocks in the near vicinity of these stations!

    Never see the MRT lines in terms of colour... But then next time when the downtown line 2 is completed which is along an exclusively private belt up Bukit Timah and Upper Bukit Timah, then these existing "exclusive" condos will be outshone already lor because they are not that exclusive in comparison - because no other MRT line exclusively serves the private market other than downtown line 2. So if you tell people "I'm taking the downtown line 2" then people will assume you stay in private condo/GCB/landed (and mostly FH) lor.. Anyway, if u drive, doesn't matter lah.

    What FH/999LH condos are within 200m of MRT stations? Are these more valuable than say >500m away?

    Simei estate also has a high ratio of landed and private condos... around the vicinity, there will also be a new Upper Changi East MRT station under DTL3 opposite the future 4th university at the shell station location. Amenities wise, Simei estate is far better than Tanah Merah area with East point, Changi Business Park and Expo nearby. Any comments on the upside for this area?

    astoria park side is low density hdb. the kembangan hdb estate is a very small estate only n the area looks quite affluent to me.

    I got units at kembangan plaza and kembangan court which is so near kembangan mrt and no hdb around. Is that considered good investment? Freehold as well.

    Excellent thread indeed. Can also factor in projects which have atleast 200 units in the development.

    Of coz. 200 vs 500m is a lot of difference for the Singaporean.

    Resale pricing for the newer or newest projects there already maxed out the psf liao i think... See how much more the new plot near DBR can fetch.

    Same as Farrer Park - not generally regarded as atas, esp with SIR and tons of foreign talent congregating daily...

    To me 3, 5, 7, 10 min, really not a big dif. I think we spend a lot more time chatting here than walking to mrt stations. I have not taken mrt in ages

    For property investment, near mrt still important but as long as within 800m radius, acceptable lah
