Question about location

Post by aks_1979 » Fri, 09 Jul 2010 3:04 am

Hello everyone. I'm going to be working at Suntec City when I move to Singapore, and I'm trying to find an apartment that's not inconveniently located. I also like being near sail boats, since I like sailing on weekends. So I found this condo (the Caribbean) near Keppel Bay, where I read there is sailing. The nearest MRT is Harbourfront. I wonder if anyone could tell me how long the MRT and taxi ride from there to Suntec would be and if it's a bad idea to live that far (I assume it isn't close).

Thanks in advance...

You can get travelling directions from gothere.sg or google maps. Both will give you a guesstimate of travel time as well.

I would recommend that you check out some waterfront condominium in Tanjong Rhu (it's just the river across Suntec). Many CBD / Suntec expats stays there. Shuttle bus service to Suntec. At times, there are expats walking to work at Suntec from Tanjong Rhu condominium.

Condo there:
Costa Rhu
Pebble Bay

Check it out.

And if you want to go a little further afield somewhere along the East Coast would suit. Plenty of sailing along East Coast Park and the bus services are frequent and reliable to Suntec.
