Living Challenges and Inconveniences

​High Noise Pollution: The area is surrounded by expressways, resulting in constant, heavy traffic noise. ​Ongoing Construction: There is active HDB construction nearby. Consequently, groups of construction workers often gather around the vicinity during the early morning and evening hours. ​Poor Accessibility: The location is quite inconvenient as there is no MRT station within walking distance. ​Limited Amenities: There are very few options when it comes to hawker centers and supermarkets, making daily essentials and dining a bit of a struggle.

Central but not really central

Despite being classed as central area, be expected to travel up to 1hr to reach the closest mrt (bus wait time included). Public transport here can be improved as currently only 2 buses serve the bus stop here and these buses tend to have really long wait times (approx 20mins). The bus journey itself tends to be about 20mins to reach toa payoh or boon keng (so you might be better off walking 24mins to reach Boon Keng MRT). For those who drive, this area isnt too bad as it's near the expressway. But this is where a whole new can of worms opens up. The dust from the expressway is pretty bad. If I left my window open during the day, by the time I reached home, every surface of my house is covered in dust.
