Sorry I dun like D15. "it's an intensely personal choice", to quote the Transformers
just to make sure u know it's *personal*.
Why ? D15 to me is completely overhyped in the last few yrs. Pushed up by all the NRIs. It's not quiet by any means. It's very crowded. There is not greenery buffers. It's far from town. Ever since the gov reclaim lands along the coast and built highways along it, D15 is no longer a "coastal region". And to capitalize on this D15 craze, thousands of MMs pop up overnite. Such MM phenomenon is far less pronounced in bt timah. Why ? Because places like university Ed, kheam hock, coronation/duchess/etc, many old houses still do not have the permit to build 5 storey MMs. To me there is an conscientious effort by URA to retain houses around botanic garden. More over, most old family old riches are in bt timah,many of which won't sell their old bungalows cheap, or won't sell at all. On the contrary, D15 houses traditionally are not expensive. It's very easy to buy a house there and do a MM. Just look at what happened in all the TK lorongs.
