Valentine’s Day is coming, which means it’s the BTO season again! This February 2020, the Housing Development Board has announced some 3,020 build-to-order flats to be launched in 2 areas: Sembawang and Toa Payoh.
Sembawang is known for being one of the cheaper, more affordable areas in Singapore, but without the crazy reputation of its next-door neighbour .And then there’s Toa Payoh, which I expect to be the more popular of the two. That’s because of the upcoming developments in the area, like Canberra MRT station, Canberra Plaza, Sembawang Hot Springs Park, Bukit Canberra sports and community hub and the North-South Corridor expressway. Many of these are still under construction, but most of them are expected to be up by this year .
If you find the Canberra amenities insufficient , you can head to the main Sembawang central, where Sembawang MRT, Sun Plaza, Sembawang bus interchange and the Sembawang Public Library are. It’s only 1.7km away, which is a 3 minute drive or 20-minute walk. You can probably also take a feeder bus ride if you’re lazy.
That makes Toa Payoh quite a premium choice, a “luxury” BTO of sort. So if you’re just looking for a roof over your head, you may not want to pay this much. Additionally, there are no 5-room and 3Gen units, so small families only. The blocks at Kim Keat Ripples are a little less convenient, but still good when compared to other BTO launches. To be honest, I’m quite surprised that HDB managed to squeeze out that much in the already-crowded Toa Payoh.
