So near yet so far. While Toa Payoh is central, these flats are 12 mins walk from TPY MRT. Meaning you will need to rely on buses, which is 3 stops from the MRT. Including the time for transit, you likely need to cater 8 mins for the journey, which is frustrating because you supposedly β€œlive in toa payoh”.

Also, the buses kinda go nowhere except for TPY.

Of course, if you drive, its very convenient as you are right beside PIE. But for obvious reasons, we assume HDB homeowners don’t drive.

Inside Estate: 4/5 🟑🟑🟑🟑🌚

We found the estate to be rather charming and peaceful, with pretty good views and greenery. Maybe because the area surrounding you are older blocks (and people), so you are kinda like the crown jewel.

Outside Amenities: 5/5 🟑🟑🟑🟑🟑

Honestly, i doubt you can find somewhere with more amenities than this. It’s incredible. Let us just list them out.

  • Market? βœ…

  • Coffeeshops? βœ…

  • Supermarket? βœ…

  • Shopping mall? βœ… - HDB Hub got like 3 alr
