Well, not so much moving to Singapore, but moving within Singapore!!
After 15 months of living in Serangoon / Kovan area, my work location will change from Defu area to Jurong East later this year. I don't want to commute to/from Jurong every day so we are looking at moving closer. Other than a few trips to IMM and Haw Par Villa, we don't really know the area very well so looking for some advice on suitable areas in west of island
Priorities:
- your budget (approx range) - $3,200 - $3,600
- your workplace/s (don't name names, just approx neighbourhood) - Penjuru Rd, Jurong
- the size and/or type of property that you are seeking (#bedrooms, on-site facilities etc) - min 2 bedrooms, preferably 3.

Nice to have:

Your current home and commute:
- are you already a city dweller? i.e. Are you used to city-centre hustle and bustle, or would you hope for a bit more peace and quiet? - Currently living in Kovan, but like to have easy access to city !!
- what is the size and type (apartment, house+garden etc) of your current home? - Currently in 1000 sqft apartment within a large condo complex with many facilities
