Amazing rental of small 1br in OCR

[phantom_opera]

why why tell me why? is it due to proximity to MRT? why Optima/Caspian rental $1000 more than Trevista

There is one May transaction 1bedder at 3.2k for trevista. A few earlier at 2.8k.

Generally i feel that OCR rental is comparable to city fringe ones recently.

It is really astonishing to see optima/caspian 1 bedder to command 3-3.2k.

Nobody would have guess it and some MM haters previously predicted 2-2.5k for ocr 1bedder.

MRT of course. 20 mins to CBD from Optima.

1 hour to CBD from Toa Payoh.

pasir panjang ..to CBD 28 mins by bus ...tried that in 2008 ...
not sure how long by circle line mrt though


so PP rental shud also be higher than TPY ...

[phantom_opera]

Tpy to CBD one hour are u sure is that far?
Tm to CBD that near?!

[auroraborealis]

but optima walk to mrt 2mins
trevista walk to mrt 12mins (not very sure about this)

makes alot of difference

Tpy to CBD one hour are u sure is that far?
Tm to CBD that near?!

[roly8]

may i know where you get the transaction from?

good for me to keep track in future.

Yishun to City Hall should be around 30-35min.

For sure it is something to do with Trevista being further away from MRT (500m-600m) vs Optima/Caspian 100-200m distance

Also not many ppl will pay 3k for TPY prison like living condition I guess

Looks like these tenants either stay in town for $4k or OCR for $3k ...
