a lot! but why need mrt, stay HDB better, 50m from mrt better
I am still waiting for a few examples if so many. There are a lot of 99-year LH near MRT but so far I have not seen freehold near MRT.

All those FH condos around newton and novena MRT. so obvious!
Future MRT
e.g. Cashew Heights / ESPA (999 Yr) (Cashew), Floridian, Nexus (Blackmore), Peak at Balmerg (West Coast)
Existing MRT
the Parc (clementi), Marbella (dover), the Arte (Toa Payoh)

dont know why singaporean so obsessd wth mrt. I have not taken mrt or bus for a long long time liao. When i send my car for servicing, i just take taxi for that 1 day then go back to driving again. There r many people who also dont need to use mrt, stayng near mrt is just a kiasu mentality.

very true ..
like living in condo ..becos wants the pool ...end up also hardly use..might as well live in HDB next to public pool .. or simply go friend's condo when want to swim ...
save on maintenace
Maybe it's because typically a whole host of commercial and entertainment facilities (shopping malls, cinemas, civic services etc) are built over and around MRT stations.
Although i don't take public transport, having a citilink mall-type of shopping at your basement is quite convenient

You are spot on. I make a few trips to the shopping mall every day, to have breakfast, to shop in NTUC, have dessert in Hanis Cafe, haircut, send my son to tuition centre or Montessori all within same shopping mall near MRT.
And mind you, once all the MRT lines are done in 2020, the cost of using a car will skyrocket (it is already happening slowly, ERP up up up, car park getting more expensive). In Hong Kong & Japan, using a car is so expensive that people keep their car at home and take MRT to office.
singapore is such a small country, everywhere is just a short distance away, even if it is from jurong to changi. i used to live in england and scotland for 2 years and the old folks there (around 70 plus years old) can put a youngsters in singapore to shame. people in big countries treat 15 min or 30 min of walking as nothing and some people even commute 2hr to work by train everyday. that is the reason why caucasians or expats living in singapore sometimes dont mind paying lesser to live in the suburbs coz everywhere is near to them. i even came across a crazy mainland chinese in shenton way once who asked me how he could get to Ang Mo Kio by foot (my jaws almost dropped). I think a lot of singaporeans are just overly pampered. Of course buying property, we often have to buy with a lazy singaporean mentality in mind, but as for the singaporean culture and their pamperedness and kiasuism, what else can i say?:doh: :doh: :doh:

I oso lived in England for 3 years. I don't mind walking for 10-15 mins there if it is not in deep winter or raining as the weather is dry and cold. In Singapore, the weather is hot and humid and we have a lot of traffic and noise to annoy you.

I fully agree with you. A walk / stroll in Singapore is no walk in the park. It's terribly humid and it really gets to you. Before you reach your destination, you would literally smell and sweat like a pig. Even the trains are terribly warm. I'm fine if it's just packed, but sometimes the airconditioners seem to be turned off or something. I certainly hope SMRT isn't taking the 24'c thingey literally cos you gotta consider the fact that you're packing ppl to the brim in a train. 21'c is more like it.

better dry off before going into aircon, otherwise you may get the flu. smelly pig flu! :D

I think those FH in the 500m radius around the MRTs of North-South Line Dhoby Ghaut, Somerset, Orchard, Newton and Novena MRTs are the best for long term investment!
East West Line is a waste of time, as well as Circle Line.
rain or shine, people walk in england. i remembered going out on a day when there was strong wind and i could literally see people holding on to the lamp posts intermitently during their walk but that did not deter people from going out and about. i see old people walking in the rain without an umbrella and i don't hear them complaining about flu or cold. when i was in uni at sheffield, i had to walk more than 2km up and down bloody hills just to go for lectures, was indeed a pain, but that was almost a decade ago. english people would die to have our kind of weather even though we detest the humidity etc. in england when spring came and the sun was out shining, i could see people basking on open grass patches just soaking in the sun and enjoying the moment. here in singapore, we have summer and spring all year round and yet we complain and complain.....:doh: :doh: :doh:

kan ni lao bu lah. Sheffield is such a third-rate uni, u also dare to say in public! U engineering rite? Your Sheffield degree worth nothing now, good for wiping my arse only lah.
Friend, if I had graduated from a ****ed up uni like Sheffield, I wouldn't boast about it. I'd be thinking of where to hide my face.

sheffield is just 1 of my unis that i did postgrad and i m also nus alumnus where i did masters. Goh chok tong n many of our mp also graduated frm nus n i dare u to say nus degree is toilet paper. Whichever uni u cme frm, better dont tell us coz u have just berated it with ur mouth that is imaginably in the shape of my dog's arsehole

Masters is a postgrad degree. So if your Masters was from NUS, what's your other postgrad degree from Sheffield then? PhD? Boy, that sucks even more. Waste money, waste time.
In yr post, why would u term one a postgrad degree and the other a masters. R u confused? U can't even get your degree terminology right. I doubt u even have O levels. Many idiots confuse graduate (postgraduate) degree with bachelor's degree.
Hey Regulators , good to know that someone else is a sheffield alumnus. Anyway, no point talking to a cock like orange, maybe he has not even graduated from high school. A person of his calibre would do more damage than good to the uni he comes from.
Orange, i dont think you have the balls to even say which uni you come from or perhaps what your highest qualification is even.

franzmark and regulators, both of u registered in april 09, supposedly graduated from sheffield, one with a "postgrad" degree, and both argued with me. You phony clone! You are both the same person!
orange, are you a numbskull? regulators said he did a postgrad at sheffield, he did not say a postgrad degree or postgrad diploma, so who is the confused one? i think you are the idiot that thinks postgrad means only degree coz some specialised courses are offered only as a postgrad dip. i think you better don't say which uni you come from coz it wud be very malu for you...:doh:

Which uni was I from? Ranked higher than yours is all you need to know lah. Ok logging off now, no need to waste time talking to stupid people.
Sorry I assumed he meant postgrad DEGREES. Can't imagine any sane, self-respecting person would even mention a mere postgrad DIPLOMA from SHEFFIELD. It is just so insignificant. Ugh.
of course your uni is ranked higher than mine. it is ranked higher for producing empty vessels like you with no substance. :doh:

Regulators did not mention anything about the qualification he got from sheffield apart from it being postgrad, you were just hallucinating everything else. I do not think you understand simple english when i mentioned that some specialist courses are offered only as a postgrad dip, nothing to do with how high or low the qualification is. I do not even think you have gone past a bachelor to understand postgraduate learning so stop embarrassing yourself here, little boy....

It doesn't matter if it is a specialist qualification, high or low. It is a postgrad diploma from suckfield. Enuff said.
little boy go and study harder. get a higher qualification then come here and talk. "horse don't know its face is long"....

i graduated from uni so many years ago and studies and school is something i have put behind me for so many years now, can't a believe kiddo like orange would come along to compare unis. you even went to the extent of criticising OKT's aussie degree, but what has your degree made of you in this forum? an utter joke is all i can say. you can criticise all you want bout my alma mater NUS or Sheffield Uni and maybe you should tell it to Goh Chok Tong's face that an NUS degree is also toilet paper coz these criticisms mean nothing to the matured and sensible adults.....

dont know why singaporean so obsessd wth mrt. I have not taken mrt or bus for a long long time liao. When i send my car for servicing, i just take taxi for that 1 day then go back to driving again. There r many people who also dont need to use mrt, stayng near mrt is just a kiasu mentality.
I am a driver myself, but I know why people like to stay near MRT.
1) No need to wait for bus. (Frequency varies and sometime is it very frustrated why the feeder service took more that 15min to come and the bus journey distant is only 10 min away - Total time taken should only be the journey time 10min but istead, it turned out to be 25-40min :doh: ).
2) If office is near to MRT, it will usually mean the MRT journey time is the time from home to office or office to home.
3) Not all people drive. Especially if you have kids, it will benefits them.
4) Need MRT give a higher resale value.
