One Balmoral
S$8,500
Overview
The overriding advantage that One Balmoral has is the fact that it is in an exclusive area, and is away from the hustle and hassles of inner city living. It could well be ideal for those wanting to live in an area known for its landed property, but are unable or unwilling to pay landed property prices. One Balmoral is also a freehold property, which comes with its own advantages. For its relatively small size, the development also comes with a large range of facilities. One Balmoral – Accessibility Compared with many other areas, Balmoral and Stevens Road does not have good access to a wide range of amenities or transport options. The nearest MRT to One Balmoral is Stevens MRT Station on the Downtown Line (and also on the forthcoming Thomson East Coast Line), which is at least a 15 minute walk. Newton and Orchard are further away. One Balmoral is also lacking in local amenities with residents having to travel a little distance to their local eateries, banks, retail outlets and supermarkets. There are bus routes that service the area, but the traffic is almost always heavy and slow, making walking probably a quicker option. Because of these factors, residents at One Balmoral really do need to own a car, but even then the traffic can lead to delays and frustration.
