How new does she want? There are quite a few blocks around 20years and newer now, and some new ones still being built. Prices are high though. Facilities in Queenstown are very poor right now, but should get better once the new blocks are completed. Redhill is pretty good, I think. My husband grew up in Queenstown, and we moved back (for him, I grew up in Upp Bkt Timah) in 1999. Before that, we lived nearly 10 yrs in Bukit Panjang.I lived in the Lengkok Bahru,Redhill and Tiong Bahru areas for the first 29 years of my life and found it hard when I moved to Bt Panjang and Woodlands areas too.
Wanted to move back to my hometown but my wife won't hear of it.She claims places like Queenstown and Redhill are quite old.She wants to live in new estates. -

Living in Queenstown from 2000-2010 before I go married is a dream for me.Nvm poor facilities.I like to stay near places like Queensway,IKEA and the big 4 markets(Redhill,Tiong Bahru,Henderson and ABC).Margaret Drive market is not bad too.In fact,I liked the feel of older estates.Reminds me of my growing up years in Lengkok Bahru and Jalan Tiong.

My wife finds that going to school from Queenstown or Redhill is a hassle for her.I did not mind because I grew up in those areas in the 80s and 90s. -

She can always ask for a transfer. Asking to transfer to a school closer to home is very common, and can be arranged easily, subject to vacancies. There are a lot of Pr schools in the area or not too far away. -
But we have since relocated to the north side for the last 7 years.
And like what you said,prices are expensive too over there. -

starlight is staying in hillview. -
Actually,Woodlands is not a bad place to stay in but nothing beats staying in my hometown in the south.

Just got off from work and enjoyed some ME time by sitting in MCD for breakfast and downing a few cups of coffee before meeting DD2ās discipline mistress and teacher later.

Actually she is quite right. I was at blk 59 Lengkok Bahru car park one day. I felt time didn't pass at this small neighbourhood! The GP clinic still kept its gate! These days I dunno where I could find those gates!I lived in the Lengkok Bahru,Redhill and Tiong Bahru areas for the first 29 years of my life and found it hard when I moved to Bt Panjang and Woodlands areas too.

But that's just Lengkok Bahru area. The cluster opp Redhill Mrt are ok. Dawson estate near Queenstown Mrt is pretty new. -

I grew up in Blk 55 in the late 80s and 90s.The GP was there for 40 plus years.The doctor was 80 plus when I went back to him 10 years ago.Went back early this year for a visit though.

Btw,I was talking about living in new blocks in that area and nor talking about living in old blocks in that area.
