There are many appealing factors about a larger condo project (i.e., condos with 700 units or over). They tend to be more affordable, maintenance tends to be lower, and the larger land parcel can allow for more facilities (or just more breathing space). However, it\u2019s come to our attention that some of these larger projects are quite far from the MRT station, so buyers are left with a trade-off: bigger project, or shorter distance to an MRT station? As it\u2019s a question that comes up quite often, here\u2019s a list for your reference:<\/p>\n

Big condo projects where you\u2019ll need to use the bus<\/h2>\n

We refer to \u201cbig\u201d in the colloquial sense \u2013 700 units or more. With regard to \u201conly accessible by bus,\u201d we\u2019ll take this to mean there isn\u2019t an MRT station nearby, and you need to either walk (unlikely with these distances) or use a connecting bus.<\/p>\n

The best connections from the list above\u00a0<\/h2>\n

The following are, in our opinion, the ones that have the most convenient access to the nearest MRT station or hub point (these two are often interrelated). Here are the top seven that may be more accessible than they look on paper:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Avenue South Residence\u00a0<\/li>\n
  • Affinity at Serangoon\u00a0<\/li>\n
  • Riverfront Residences<\/li>\n
  • Kingsford Waterbay<\/li>\n
  • Parc Central Residences (EC)<\/li>\n
  • Parc Riviera<\/li>\n
  • Whistler Grand\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
