rains:Unless you have been living under a rock, I find it shocking that you actually need data to prove that flats near popular schools are expensive. You just have to google for 'flats in yishun' and 'flats in queens road' to know that a 5 room flat in yishun cost about $420k while a 5 room flat in queens road is valued at $768k. I wonder if such ignorance is genuine since the property prices are pushed up by people like you who die die want a piece of others' alma maters.
You kept saying it's by logic that distance priority should come in, but if you had exercise any logical thinking, why wouldn't the alumni move near to their alma maters if not for the rocket prices of those rich people's flats?
Go get a life, 3Boys. Please know that the 40 seats are introduced not bcos you made a lot of noise on this forum but was reflected as feedback at One Singapore Conversation, unless you were also there and called for it to happen.
Oh I just looked up the HDB website. A 5 rm next to Ai Tong just sold for $620k. A few others opposite kuo chuan Presbyterian pri sold for $750-850k. Hmmm I never realized Kuo Chuan Presbyterian is so much more popular than Ai Tong. :roll:
Please lor.... Real estate prices are a lot more heavily influenced by other factors than just good schools. Going by your logic, you should be able to afford a property in sentosa easily because there are absolutely no schools there within more than 2 km
