    Default where do you stay and WHY?

    kind of curious about the factors people consider in deciding where to stay and which are the DECIDING factors.

    Let me start.

    I stay in AMK.

    Number one reason is my in-laws and my mum stay there. I am 5 mintues walk from my in-laws. 5 minutes drive from my mum.

    Number 2 reason, familiarity as I used to stay in TPY and AMK my whole life. Too used to the old estates hawker center food.

    East. Because I work there, family is all in east, and I feel the east side generally cleaner and fresher... .. .

    The choices are always where you grow up in, where you're familiar with, where your friends and family are....

    So, there's always demand where ever you are....

    Yup.. I think East is nice especially the ride using ECP to the city... everytime can see our beautiful city landscape.

    Most famous eateries are located in the east ... the beach is there...

    all other forms of amenities like MRT, Hawker, shopping also sama sama like other surburbs...

    I have stayed in Jalan Besar, Bendemeer, North East, Bukit Timah, RV and now East Coast area. I have a choice to stay either in Orchard or East Coast, but I chose East Coast in the end and no regrets since. It is very convenient and near to the CBD (my workplace), the airport (I'm a frequent flyer), and the beach (my children like to rollerblade). I heard that ECP is the most and will continue to be the most well design expressway to avoid jams to the airport, an continuous effort and our pride to show to our foreign visitors. I have no complain and happy staying here, the only problem here is that there is no MRT and my children have to take taxi most of the time when out with friends.

    I grow up and stayed in the east all my life and will probably continue to do so....

    But having said that, my investment properties are in the CCR or on the fringe of it. There's difference between buying properties of own stay and investment....

    Own stay, it's about emotions

    Investment.... try to keep emotions out of it and be as rational as you can be....

    Interestingly a lot of forumers here stayed or like to stay in East Coast. My initial impression is that most here stay in the west, which I hardly been to, never invested(although I almost invested in one north, but dropped due as I'm unfamiliar to the location) and most likely would never stay or invest there.
