Bournemouth Road is a long road in the Mountbatten area, considered by many to be the “prime” part of D15. It’s located between Mountbatten Road and Dunman Road and leads onto Tanjong Katong Road, where you’ll find some commercial shophouses. If you walk down Tanjong Katong Road, you’ll reach Tanjong Katong MRT (about a 10-15 minutes walk, depending on exactly which part of Bournemouth Road you start from.) Continue past the MRT and you’ll find yourself at East Coast Park (about 17 minutes away on foot.) Alternatively, cross Tanjong Katong Road and you’ll find the famous Tanjong Katong Girls’ School, so you can see the area has much to recommend. Join me as we explore the area!














Now that we’ve explored the outside, let’s head onto Bournemouth Road!

















According to PropertyGuru, this complex was completed in 1997. At the time of writing, there was 1 unit for rent at $15,000, with the last sale here transacted in 2018, at $4.9 million. (There were no units for sale at Bournemouth Eight at the time of writing, but note that it may be one of the lower entry (price) points into Bournemouth Road, as the houses listed for sale along Bournemouth Road at the time of writing started from $9 million+.)

Quoted maintenance fees are only an estimate, I get that. But when the difference is off by 150 to 200…

Sales records for Bournemouth Eight from the Edgeprop website: Something I found interesting is that the (last) sale in 2018 was transacted at not much higher than the new sales prices in 1995.






This brings us to the end of today’s walkabout in East Singapore. Before we go, I’ll do my usual Google search to see if anything important comes up. There are not many Google news articles about Bournemouth Road, although some netizens once suspected that President Halimah Yacob was moving here. That said, the most significant is the news of a dengue cluster at Bournemouth Road with a higher rate of transmission in 2020. (I also found this interview done by a resident of the area, if you want more insight into what living here is like.)
Now that we’ve finished our tour of the area, how did you find Bournemouth Road? Are you a fan of living in East Singapore or West? Let me know in the comments!
