Telok Blangah Parcview Review: Great Sea And Greenery Views But Not The Most Enjoyable Walk To MRT Telok Blangah Parcview was launched in the July 2013 BTO exercise alongside two projects in Yishun and one in Sengkang.

The Peak @ Toa Payoh Review: Convenient Central Living Close To 3 MRTs But Pricey The Peak @ Toa Payoh is probably one of the most well-known DBSS out there (apart from Natura Loft). This time – for a good reason. 30 May 2022 32 min read 0

Telok Blangah Ridgeview Review: Peaceful With Greenery And Sea Views But Not Near MRT Telok Blangah Ridgeview was launched in 2012 together with Depot Heights with Ridgeview having the better accessibility over Depot Heights due to its shorter distance to an MRT – Telok Blangah Hill Station along the Circle Line. 14 Apr 2022 26 min read 2
