Hi Guys
Just joined the forum after many weeks of reading and considering my options. I am in the final stages of agreeing a job move with a new employer and would like some advice on best areas (currently considering Ang Mo Kio or East Coast areas), what is available at approx. budget etc.
Priorities:
- your budget (approx range) - 'Reasonable' according to current proposal - Estimated $2,800 - $3,800
- your workplace/s (don't name names, just approx neighbourhood) - Defu Avenue
- the size and/or type of property that you are seeking (#bedrooms, on-site facilities etc) - min 2 bedrooms, preferably 3.
- will you have a car here? - No
- proximity to transport required. MRT-subway/buses/the airport/Malay border post (if so, which one). - 10mins to bus route for work location
- will you have any accompanying children needing to attend school? If so, age/s? - No
Nice to have:
- will you need to be able to say walk to the local shops, a library, your doctor, a market, and so on? - 10-15 mins walk to supermarket
- access to any specific sport, social, and recreation facilities? - Close to cycle space would be nice, golf seems a bit too pricey !!!
- are you considering bringing any pets. If so what kind, and will they require outdoor access and/or exercise? - No
- are you considering bringing any parents/in-laws etc? Do they have specific needs (for example difficulty climbing stairs?) - No
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 live in small town, but enjoy city life (in short bursts) !!
- what is the size and type (apartment, house+garden etc) of your current home? - Currently in 1500 sqft house with 2 grown up children who will not re-locate at this time
- what are any current commute times like? - Current commute is an easy 25-30 minute motorway drive
Any feedback is appreciated
Thanks
