Accessibility/Location
Accessibility is one of the most important factors when choosing a place to live. Although a secluded neighbourhood may offer quiet mornings and greater privacy, it could also come with a longer commute and an increased reliance on cars. Conversely, a living space in the city is convenient but may feel too hectic for a young family.
For the best experience, choose a well-located property that’s intentionally designed for peace, comfort, and serenity. Aside from convenient access to popular places and public transportation, you’ll also benefit from the delightful living experience such a place provides.
Property in a subpar location is a headache for everyone involved. It’s difficult to give your children the best education when their dream school is an hour away. Transportation for the entire family is harder to come by and, as a result, more expensive. Instead of enjoying days off at a nearby park or shopping centre, you might end up stuck at home.
Not only is it a challenge to access the facilities you need, inaccessible locations may also feel lonely or isolating. And what if you decide that it’s time to move? Your property may be hard to sell, or go on the market for a lower price than you’d hoped for. When choosing a home, always consider one that will be easier to sell later on.
A property should be able to serve as an investment and a home. Consider property with access to lively commercial districts and charming views. A property built in a prime location will offer the best returns because people are willing to pay the most for enjoyable, safe living places.
Although a great location may be more expensive upfront, it quickly pays for itself. You can freely walk around with your family members, interact with friendly neighbors, and have diverse lifestyle amenities at your doorstep. In the case of an emergency, you can quickly reach the facilities you need; when you want to have fun, entertainment is just a walk away. The value of your property will only increase as more facilities are built.
As the MRT or a bus can get you almost anywhere you need, you’ll also save money on transportation. Singapore boasts express bus routes that make travel quicker—for example, from the East, there are express bus routes to the CBD and Orchard. Singapore’s public transport system is ranked in the top 10 out of over 100 cities around the world, and you should be able to enjoy it.
If you prefer to drive, easy access to the freeway will keep your commute short. For people who drive daily, proximity to major highways like Central Expressway (CTE), the Seletar Expressway (SLE), or the Tampines Expressway (TPE) may be a major determining factor when choosing a place to live.
No matter how you get to your destination, you’re sure to enjoy a short and pleasant trip.
Every individual and every family has different needs and ways of life. The living space you choose should take these unique differences into account and empower you to make the most of your day.
The peace of mind such a location offers is priceless.
