Bartley Residences next to Bartley MRT Station . New Singapore Property Launch

Hot on the heels of Watertown condominium that sold over 750 units in 2 weeks, comes another project next to an MRT station. Residences at Bartley is right on the doorstep of Bartley MRT station, so if you missed the VIP Preview pricing for Watertown, you might want to quickly take advantage of the Preview pricing here instead.

 This development may not sit directly on top of a shopping mall, but it is just one train stop from Serangoon MRT interchange station, where Nex Megamall is. So you could eat there, then do a bit of grocery shopping or catch a movie, before hopping down to the basement to take the train one stop home.

The slight inconvenience is compensated by the more quiet and peaceful neighbourhood here. Not everybody relishes living in the midst of a crowded town centre. Below are some more reasons we think this Bartley condominium could do as well as Watertown…

Reasons We Recommend Bartley Residences

Location

Bartley is not too far from town. In fact it’s considered pretty central. By car it is just 10 – 15 minutes drive to the CBD. By train, not much longer, around 15 – 20 minutes.

The newly constructed 4.5km long Bartley-Tampines viaduct makes driving to the east a breeze. Tampines Regional Centre, is surprisingly, just ten minutes’ drive away, as are the Changi Business Park, and IKEA & Courts.

 

 MRT Effect

It’s just beside an MRT station on the Circle Line, which connects all the MRT spokes around the island. You could as easily get to NUS / One-North or the Harbourfront as to Marina Bay or Changi or Woodlands.

Property near MRT stations carry a premium – the nearer it is, the higher the premium. Those within 10 minutes walk have shown the greatest capital appreciation & resilience in downturns. Those within a minute’s walk, like this one is, are rarer and more coveted.

 

 Open Views

Not only does Bartley Residences step up to higher ground above Bartley Road, but it sits in a private residential estate. Surrounding developments are mainly low-rise so it enjoys open views & space.

The towers fan out in 2 wings that maximises the unblocked views, with the remaining units getting either pool or garden views.

 

 Schools

Directly across the road, within 1 KM 5 minutes walk away, are the reputable Maris Stella Primary & Maris Stella High Schools. Other good schools in the vicinity include Paya Lebar Methodist Girls’ Primary & Secondary, and Cedar Primary & Secondary Schools.

The Australian International School at Lorong Chuan is 2 stops from Bartley MRT station.

 

Investment Value

Quite apart from its location next to an MRT station which always makes for a good bet, there are potential tenant pools nearby. Such as the Australian International School, and Paya Lebar Commercial Hub down the road.

Actually, any place along the Circle Line is a potential tenant resource. Even One-North / NUS and so on, are barely 25 minutes by train, door to door.
