I've been a long term Siglap resident staying literally in the shadow of The Bayshore and it is a great area to live. As mentioned there's a good mixture of locals and expats. You will find that most are what I call "local expats" as we've been here a few years and very much settled into Singapore life.rjh73 wrote:Hi
I am new to Singapore and have set my heart on living at The Bayshore on the East Coast and wondered if my choice is ok?
People at work are saying it is too quiet and commuting into town (work at the Maybank) is not good. I have bus plus and figured if I am out in the evening i will just get a taxi home.
I am not a huge party person and like to relax and chill out at the weekends and thought the East coast ticks those boxes but wondered if there is something I am missing in my thought process.
Any East Coast residence out there that can offer their thoughts?
I imagine that most older condos will have some sad tale to tell similar to that one. Where I live there's a shaft (airwell) in the centre of each lobby and two apartments from each floor back on to each airwell. The story goes that a guy tried to break into another apartment by climbing across the corner of the airwell (some of the backs of the apartments have a balcony there) and he fell and died. I haven't heard of any hauntings going on, but it wouldn't surprise me if some people wouldn't live in either of those apartments if they knew.but there is a story among locals that some guy hung himself at the bayshore and the place is haunted.
long shot, but you dont stay in finland gardens do you?BigSis wrote:I imagine that most older condos will have some sad tale to tell similar to that one.

No - quite like the look of them though - especially the ground floor ones which go straight out to the gardens.darpy wrote:long shot, but you dont stay in finland gardens do you?BigSis wrote:I imagine that most older condos will have some sad tale to tell similar to that one.
