Took your advice and had a play around on the property site and followed the train lines in various directions including around Kallang and going further North and East. The Modules (SOHO) looked interesting as did One St Martin's although that's without really knowing what the neighbourhoods aroun...

I live near Southbank in a much older condo. In our experience, you're spoilt for choice in terms of food and transportation. There are tons of good eateries around (both cheap hawker fare and classier joints). There is a HUGE number of bus lines within walking distance (Beach Rd, Jalan Sultan, Nor...

Seriously - a 40 min walk is NOT close to the office. Southbank has nice but small apartments. A number of them overlook the National Stadium building site, so I'm not sure how that impacts the apartments. There are a couple of shops on the ground floor, but that is about it.

It currently takes me about 40 minutes door-to-door. I also judged it on being near to what seems to be a...

First post on the forum so thanks for having me and looking forward to spending some time browsing and contributing. I've had a search for threads with information on apartments at Southbank but I couldn't find anything. I was wondering if anyone who lives there or knows the place could give me thei...
