WEST COAST

We live in Bukit Batok and love the area because it’s close to the MRT, it has a very friendly vibe, we know our neighbours and we love the fact that there’s a nature reserve right across the street. We have lovely green views. – Mel NOVENA & NEWTON

We chose to live in Novena when we first arrived because my husband works in the Novena Medical Centre. We’ve since moved condo three times but have chosen to stay within Novena. We love that it maintains a lot of local charm and history while still being so close to the hubbub of Orchard, Little India, Kampong Glam and the CBD. Plus, we can get much more living space for our money here compared to other more ‘hip’ areas like Tanjong Pagar or Robertson Quay. – Dana SENTOSA

Sentosa Cove is by the water and it feels like you’re on holiday every day. I also love that we have strong community here, and there are so many activities on offer for the whole family, from tennis to Zumba! – Beth

We now live in Sentosa, and love the feel of always being on holidays! Everyone here just seems so much more relaxed and happy. It’s a great community as well, and there are so many activities here to do – Pilates, Aquafit, boot camps, walking groups, yoga, mahjong, kids’ activities. Plus, we’re a short walk away from some great cafés, restaurants, hairdressers, massage centres, pet shops, dry cleaners, groceries and even a wine shop. It really is like living on a beautiful resort. The hardest thing is to leave the island! – Linda
