Staying at Duku Apartments
Unlike staying in the bustling city area, Duku Apartments in the East Coast district offers a relatively laid-back vibe due to its low-density. The idea of living a 5-minute drive away from a popular seaside getaway is very tempting. Despite being away from some of the busiest areas of Singapore, the well-established transportation network seamlessly connects residents to other parts of the country. There is minimal historical transaction data for the said property which explains that owners desire to hold the property for longer periods of time.
