TJ's interest in property was sparked after returning from the UK- where balconies are not counted in one's square footage!- and finding that the Singapore property had totally changed in the 7 years she was away.

“Location, location, location” is a popular property saying that dates all the way back to 1926 (when it appeared in print.)
One of the first areas that come to mind when I hear this phrase, in the Singapore context, is Jalan Mutiara, a tiny landed enclave consisting of around 13 terrace houses and several high-rise apartments. The area is so central and so well-located that you can walk to Valley Point in 7 minutes and Great World City in 9. (I don’t know how many of you still remember the days when Great World used to be a “dead” mall with not much to do, but these days it has almost all the conveniences you could need, including a MRT station at its doorstep.) For those who enjoy a longer walk, ION Orchard is also only 19 minutes away on foot!

As shown above, you really get the best of all worlds here as in addition to posh malls, you are also walking distance to local hawker food (namely Zion Riverside Food Centre, which is 9 minutes away and one of the prettier hawker centres thanks to its waterside location.) Via Zion Riverside Food Centre, you can also access the Singapore River (i.e. Robertson Quay) and Alexandra Park Connector.
Since we’re on the subject of the nearby amenities, let’s start today’s tour by walking out to the main road.

Despite how busy River Valley Road is, there wasn’t much road noise here (and almost none when standing outside the terrace houses.)







We’ve seen quite a bit of the surrounding area so let’s head back to Jalan Mutiara.










We’ve seen almost everything here, so let’s head to the fork with the terrace houses now.

Why I Look For Old Malls Before I Buy Property
The typical response I get to this is “siao ah, what’s so good about that.” But hear me out: old,…



One of the reasons people want to live in a landed property is to enjoy a more spacious way of life and I’m not sure you’ll find that here, sharing one exit/entrance with 400+ units! What do you think?
















That brings us to the end of today’s tour! How did you find the estate? At the time of writing, there was only one unit for sale – a corner terrace at $10.5 million. Let me know if you think it’s worth the price in the comments!
