We have been offered to buy a new
condo in Balestier 10-15 min walking distance to Novena MTR.
I am concerned about the area though, how is it? Any experience living there?
We plan to move to there in 2/3 years once the condo will be finished with 2 small children
thanks for the advice

Balestier? Good for Gambling dens and majong parlours in some of the older
condos there. Otherwise? Okay I suppose.
Lots of karoke lounges along there as well.

Buying a condo in Singapore

Does it make more sense to buy a condo in Singapore rather than to pay rent to the landlords?

I already own - the issue is that this distorts the market unevenly. It swings to the market towards the new units and away from the resale units.
