Cons:
Hmmm, the people abit more "messier" there. Neighbours smoke, the smell somehow will get over to my unit, once in a while. But there are actually alot of young couple with kids there. When raining, the place very muddy there, but they are "refurbishing" the place there. There's cockroaches once in a while, maybe a monthly visit. Never seen that many in my entire life! So, get a higher unit if it's available.
Oh, and, strangely low (height) kitchen counter, after putting my temp cooking stove, it is still too low.
Pros:
Convenient. Even though to lakeside MRT only have 1 bus (240), but there's a 240P that operates during peak hours, waiting time not that long, generally will be able to get there in 10mins or less. If not, to Jurong Point, u have quite a few no. of buses. Supermarket(24hr) and eatery are just 3 mins away. Walking distance to police station (change address once moved).
Cheapest rental location, yet convenient. The place was built in 1978 (iirc), pretty old, but they revamped quite a bit. So, still liveable.
