Eastern paradise for foodies, beach lovers

Those who live in the eastern side of Singapore are spoiled for choice when it comes to the sheer variety of good food which can be found in their backyard. In addition, they can travel easily to the popular East Coast beach.

Districts 15 and 16 are famous for the long rows of eateries offering a mix of traditional and fusion food. More recently, a new breed of cafes have sprung up in the area to cater to the younger crowd.

Covering the Katong, Joo Chiat and Amber Road areas, District 15 is a choice neighbourhood for those who want to savour the rich mix of cultures there.

Some of the old homes there had seaside views before land was reclaimed all the way to East Coast Park.

Parts of the district are served by the East-West MRT line.

The page views on STProperty's website from June 24 to 30 showed that the 99-year leasehold Silversea topped the list for private homes in the district.

The 383-unit project also commanded the highest average asking price over the one-week period at $2,100 per sq ft (psf) for its two- and three- or more bedder units.

Coming in second by page views was the 562-unit One Amber project, which is the only freehold development among the top five projects in District 15.

It offers buyers a range of one-, two- and three- or more bedder units with an average asking price of $1,702 psf.

Rounding off the list were three 99-year leasehold projects Costa Rhu, Cote D'Azur and Sanctuary Green.

Farther east, District 16 is a residential area encompassing areas such as Bayshore, Siglap, Bedok and Upper East Coast.

It also has a wide selection of food establishments just like in District 15, with commuting made easy by the East-West MRT line as well as the Bedok Bus Interchange.

Topping the list of five private homes that received the most number of page views on STProperty between June 24 and 30 was Urban Vista, which was launched in March.

The 582-unit project offers one-, two- and three- or more bedder units and is located next to the Tanah Merah MRT station.

At $1,585 psf, the 99-year leasehold had the highest average asking price among the group.

The other four projects in the list were 99-year leaseholds which do not offer studio apartments or one-bedder units.

They are Aquarius By The Park, The Bayshore, Bayshore Park and Casa Merah.
