The demand and <\/span>price for a unit in a mature estate can be 10 to 15 per cent higher<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than the same flat size in a newly developing town.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is largely attributed to the former having tangible amenities aplenty, such as accessibility to public transport or neighbourhood malls to serve the existing community. Actual locations of BTOs in mature estates may fall on the outskirts of the neighbourhood, given that most of the land in mature estates have already been filled up with urban developments. It is rare to find a BTO project in the heart of the town near the MRT station. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(I\u2019m looking at you, Tampines GreenSpring, just 5 minutes away from the holy trinity of Tampines\u2019 malls, and also 11 times oversubscribed in November 2019)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_34077\" style=\"width: 848px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34077\" class=\"wp-image-34077 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/server1.webstudio.com.sg\/~staging\/ypsg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Tampines-GreenSpring-the-amenities-surrounding-the-site-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"838\" height=\"575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/server1.webstudio.com.sg\/~staging\/ypsg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Tampines-GreenSpring-the-amenities-surrounding-the-site-1.jpg 838w, https:\/\/server1.webstudio.com.sg\/~staging\/ypsg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Tampines-GreenSpring-the-amenities-surrounding-the-site-1-480x329.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 838px, 100vw\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-34077\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiaone.com\/lifestyle\/nov-2019-bto-tampines-greenspring-unit-analysis\">Source<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given all of the above, your flat may possibly be in a location with sparse amenities, which will be developed in time to come when more home-owners move in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Things To Consider:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Future Development: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What types of future development projects are near to the BTO project you\u2019re eyeing?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Master Plan by Urban Development Authority: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The annually-updated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ura.gov.sg\/Corporate\/Planning\/Master-Plan\">Master Plan<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0allows you to scope out the intended use of the land around your property of interest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34083 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/server1.webstudio.com.sg\/~staging\/ypsg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-05-at-12.22.04-AM-1024x505.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"343\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019d recommend to keep an eye out for the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rapid Transits (MRT and LRT stations)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commercial sites <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">such as heartland malls, markets, food centres or other entertainment facilities<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">White sites, as their intended uses are commercial, hotel, residential, sports &amp; recreational spaces<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good to have sites in decent proximity include health and medical care <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(denoted in pale yellow with a H),<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as well as education institutions <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(denoted in red with an E)<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you plan to drive, you may want to take note of key roads and nearby expressways\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Explore Your Town by HDB: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get a head-start by familiarising yourself with your area through viewing HDB\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hdb.gov.sg\/cs\/infoweb\/residential\/where2shop\/explore\">Explore Your Town<\/a> feature.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Trade-offs: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some factors to consider may make or break your future lifestyle.
