therock Supersonic April 30, 2019 Share April 30, 2019 Again depends where you are on balestier road. Itâs a long road.The builders like to pitch the end near Whitley as “novena” and charge the prices associated with that moniker. If you are in the middle of that road, it will be hard to escape the jams .. And the road noise there doesn’t stop till past midnight. The area nearer the Little India is quieter but if you get closer to the Farrer hospital it gets messier and closer to the Jalan Besar area it gets “exotic” ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

13177 Hypersonic April 30, 2019 Share April 30, 2019 Again depends where you are on balestier road. It’s a long road. I find no matter which part of balestier rd you are on still cannot escape the heavy traffic in that area. Even you stay near the quality hotel marlow which is the starting point of balestier, but the heavy and slow traffic starting from lavender st can kills if you come from that direction during the peak.

For condo, high in the air with own big compound still not so bad. For landed, er......rather not lah. Edited April 30, 2019 by Throttle2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That area indeed not a good place for residential, whether condo or landed. Everytime when i go there, i get headache. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throttle2 Supersonic April 30, 2019 Share April 30, 2019 Me very near Kovan Lexus land plot quite small, the roads around the estate are very narrow. crowded and cramp place. Kovan area is quite spread out many different plots. Some wide and spacious, some are small and tight Really depends on exact spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volvobrick Supersonic April 30, 2019 Share April 30, 2019 Saw a 3 (or 4 storey?) terrace there maybe 20 years ago. Nice and cosy, but super far from the main road even taxi may not want to go in to take booking! All members need to drive. I believe it's 99 LH. any comment on Swiss View? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkl22 Supersonic April 30, 2019 Share April 30, 2019 (edited) what about macpherson and circuit road area. Not that idea a location but i think prices are lower there. bottomline is it tough to find a steal in the current market. what about cambridge road area. rather messy, but i think prices are lower there as well. i think it is the closest to the city without paying city prices if you get what i mean. it all depends on what TS wants i guess. 3M doesnt go very far.

Brand new.. 4 mil If you rebuild a 3mil house you’ll be paying around there too.. From the Ad , it sounds good as they push all the positives. But if it is in between kovan and serangoon means it is neither here nor there. Probably this is around lorong lew lian? Just guessing. Price is good for move in and build up size so there must be a catch somewhere. Maybe by the roadside Maybe beside temple Maybe maybe maybe Advertiser dare not show any more details.

Not that idea a location but i think prices are lower there. bottomline is it tough to find a steal in the current market. In todays market there is no steal anymore Just like Rolex market Macpherson and circuit road also very messy. Similar to geylang type. Lichee Ave side is quite ok. Quite qaint but also overpriced by now. Good luck. wind30 Lentor Grandis Kovan CT3833 Very near Kovan Magfocus Seletar Hills/YCK PSP415 8mins to airport... 8 mins drive can drive very far...
