About the Flats

It seems like Singaporeans planning to buy a flat here should be prepared to invest in a good pair of walking shoes. Or bikeshare credits. The nearest amenities look to be at least a good walk away. Even the nearest shopping mall, Rivervale Plaza, appears to be exhaustingly far, but at least you’ll have the LRT to help you out.

However, residents of this BTO flats can look forward to picturesque views outside their windows, thanks to the estate’s ‘riverfront’ location.  Amenities in the area include green connectors, so you’ll have pretty surroundings to accompany you as you cycle back and forth from the supermarket.
