It is not only simply being near to amenities or not.
If you research the prices of the condos in both Newton area and novena area(only condos near Novena mrt), which are more than 3 years old, the price gaps between two area are certainly shrinking.
That means people are getting to want to live in Novena more and more because of convenience.
It makes a certain kind of unconscious trend, and I think this trend will be on for certain times.
Of course, at this moment the old prestigious name of "Newton road" is still on but sooner of later, it will become dimer.
