Some may claim that a drawback of HDB living is how crowded it gets. Now that's subjective, as some homeowners like the communal sense; and with the size of today's mega-developments, even some HDB projects look quieter. As a case in point, consider the HDB blocks below, which have the fewest number of units per block, to maximise the sense...
Some may claim that a drawback of HDB living is how crowded it gets. Now that's subjective, as some homeowners like the communal sense; and with the size of today's mega-developments, even some HDB projects look quieter.
One thing to note though, is that the proximity of the food hub — coupled with the tight cluster of surrounding HDB blocks — can make the surrounding roads quite congested. As the price suggests, this is one of the most convenient parts of Hougang. Just a few minutes away on foot, residents have access to Hougang Mall, which has long been a mainstay of the neighbourhood. The Hougang MRT station is also located near the mall.
There's also good access to Punggol Park from here, and the area does have a sense of how Punggol used to be: a quieter, green area. That vibe is disappearing from the town though, with the advent of developments like the Punggol Digital District.This 69-unit block dates back to 1995 and is in a nice spot between Balestier and Toa Payoh. Transactions are few though, with none recorded in the past year or so; but we'd expect the prices to be high, given the proximity to the two hotspots.
Overall this is a solid location near Toa Payoh, so we wouldn't hold out much hope for a low price despite the age.This is a 69-unit block dating back to 1997, and like our previous entry, it's a pricey hotspot near Toa Payoh Central. The block is within walking distance of Toa Payoh MRT , and along with it, the Toa Payoh/HDB Hub. This makes it easy to get your groceries, shopping, fast food, pricier food, etc. with just a short walk.
