Being near access gates and facilities are important too especially if you're the sort who hates walking. It could mean the difference between walking another 200m each day to the gym, mall, or railway station. 

Don’t choose Bin Centre and BBQ Pits

Unless you only want the most cost-effective units within the development, there are few reasons to settle on a unit facing the bin center and substation (Usually next to every other). 

Aside from the fragrance and roaches, the views will feel much un-accomplished and can be a harder sell when it is time to exit the investment. So, always look to buy a premium luxury apartment in Singapore with a greater resale value.

 

BBQ pits are potential hubs for noise as gatherings are going to be held there regularly and therefore the smells might unintentionally waft through your home in the dark causing uncontrollable hunger pangs at the incorrect hours.
