Hi! All of them are east-facing except for 285, 287, 235 and 237. Avoid these if you want to avoid the afternoon sun. However, some people may not like morning sun too, so just something to be wary of!

Hi! It loads for us, perhaps it’s due to the connection. Sometimes the slide doesn’t load – it needs a refresh.

west brickville, for example, 531 and 533 are 2 blocks joined together, 529 is a block by itself. which is better and any price different when it comes to resale?

It shouldn’t make much of a difference, particularly since the wall connecting 531 isn’t the bedrooms.

Hi, I’m not good with sun direction. May I find out for Central Trio @ Ang Mo Kio, the 2 room flats are they affected by direct or indirect sunlight? It looks at a 45 degree angle from the afternoon sun.

Why does the sun shifts at 3:30pm at different times of the month?

Hi Joey, thanks for your question! Central Trio is almost perfectly north-south facing, so there’s very little direct sunlight since the windows face either north or south.

While we often hear that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, it doesn’t do so in a straight line throughout the year. The sun actually sets from the southwest (around January) to the northwest (around July), before shifting back again.

So the amount of sun your unit gets really depends on which side your 2-room flat faces. For Central Trio, the north-facing 2-room flats are angled slightly towards the west, so they’ll get a bit more sun compared to the south-facing ones (which are angled slightly east).

That said, because of the almost perfect north-south orientation, you won’t be getting harsh direct sunlight regardless of which side you’re on — just varying degrees of indirect light depending on the time of day and year.
