I think I will use the distance between Beacon Heignts and the MRT as my warm-ups for my training. 2 rounds round an indoor running track in the stadium. That's what it is.
To the 760 property agent selling Becon Heights koyok.... 15 minutes is an eternity in the sweltering heat of Singapore
Haha, if only I am the little girl in x-men who walks thru' walls, no need to look left and right for traffic...
For those who's interested, before you plonk down $$$, do yourself a flavor, do walk the distance yourself. Also, with your missy, else get blamed when her makeup melts before reaching MRT.
Regards

I believe the buyers are mostly investors who hope to flip or rent out.
BTW, my ang-moh friends rank OL must higher than BH and uneven intero is more attractive too them than BH.

Dont underestimate us.Originally Posted by Upgrader lah
Beacon Heights is too far from the MRT
maybe if ur legs cant take that little walkng, i suggest u join the wheelchair marathoners in this forum. bh is closer proximity to town than OL and Blossom whch is sets it apart frm the latter 2.Originally Posted by Marathon runner

I saw OL and the building looks obiang, seems to blend in wth the hdb in the area. BH stands at 28 flrs and is a distinctive landmark when built.Originally Posted by Marathon runner
No one is disputing BH is closer to town than OL/intero... general PP area.
We are just saying BH is not that close to MRT station. Period.
What's on brochure may turn out very different in reality Just look at strata @ novena. Looks great on brochure, now stick out like sore thumb.... distinctive.. definitely...

If i send my car to a repair workshop, i take the taxi, mrt is never in the picture for me. in any case, BH is 8 min either to PP MRT or BK MRT, so to average people, it is not far. I have lived in England for many years and 10 min walking distance anywhere is a normal way of life for most people. Of course to pampered and lazy singaporeans, even 300m can be far. In singapore property terms, every step nearer to town would means a higher price and in terms of location and proximity to town, BH is a winner compared to OL. In terms of structural appeal of the building, BH is also a winner in terms of height and architecture. BH is sheer elegance and being further into St Michael Rd, it is away from the noise that OSM is experiencing.

The way the distance is to the MRT, might as well not say that BH is near an MRT.
Dakota is much better. It is definitely near an MRT, and proximity to town is INDEED true, unlike BH.
you are one lowlife DR agent that keeps coming back here to promote ur condo which is in front of a smelly long kang and near the red light. if you got nothing better else to do, why don't you take leave from ur showroom and find a few chickens to bonk in geylang....from the way you put it, you must be in the wheelchair league as well.
Nobody in the right frame of mind would ant to buy DR as it is simply too near the red light and paying more than 1k psf for a D14 and only 99 years.....pathetic

On the other hand, DR still got entertainment, even if it is just china mei mei. Still much better to be acosted by dangerous darker skinned workers near BH.

2- food within 500m
3- supermarket and shopping within the area
4- view of sea or greenery

bh is still e best. Govt will develop whampoa n st michael area in no time
You gotta be careful.
While the master plan display in URA office looks impressive, the government is taking a very long term view and not everything will happen. Likely, many things have been delayed.
I forsee nothing huge will happen to whampoa / SM / woodleigh for at least the next 5 years, and the woodsville interchange will be the last big project till then.
