When I was at Square 2 in Novena, I noticed a small enclave of houses right across from it – so close that I could see them from the entrance of the mall! Although the Novena-Thomson area is a bit of a mess right now because of the (what feels like) non-stop construction, it is actually very central and convenient, being close to a MRT, shopping centres and even Hospitals. Hence, I thought it’d be interesting to do a tour of the area!


Now since I started the tour by extolling how convenient the location is, let’s just do a few quick shots of the amenities within the area.



At Square 2, you can find not only a small NTUC but also a Don Don Donki and a small Korean mart (as well as many Korean restaurants – Novena seems to be something of a small Koreatown, after Tanjong Pagar and Upper Bukit Timah.)




OK, we’ve seen the most important shops now, so let’s head back out to explore the neighbourhood instead.





















































We’ve seen most of the estate now, so let’s take the shortcut back to Novena Square that I showed you previously (the path to the right of the Novena Terrace houses.)

Most people assume that if you’re running a cafe or living in a rental unit, and you’ve paid your rent…







Before I go, I thought it’d be interesting to see what the houses look like from the sky, so I took the lift up Mount Elizabeth to take a photo.

So how did you find the estate? I must say, living in the Novena estate is super convenient, even more so than Gentle Villas (across the road) that I had toured a while ago. (It’s also freehold to Gentle Villa’s leasehold, with prices reflecting that: at the time of writing a terrace house here started from $7 million!) If I were a Doctor working in the area, I’d love to live within walking distance from work! Of course, the traffic situation is currently FAR from ideal, but there are only 3-5 more years before the North South Corridor will be completed, and hopefully, the road congestion will ease then!
I must say, I was a little surprised by the current asking prices, given the less-than-ideal traffic conditions, but I guess the sellers are taking a longer-term view (regarding the desirability of the area, and also probably don’t need the money urgently.) What do you think? Let me know what you think in the comments below!
