Locals Ask
How bad is the morning traffic?
Jalan Tun Abdul Razak is a massive choke point; if you aren't out by 7:00 AM, expect to be stuck for at least 40 minutes.
What’s driving the RM30/m² top-end prices?
The newer serviced apartments with actual security and decent gyms cater specifically to professionals who work in Singapore.
Is Larkin Wet Market worth the hassle?
It’s the best spot for actual local prices on produce, but wear waterproof shoes because the floors are a disaster.
Is the neighborhood analysis positive for long-term growth?
Capital appreciation is slow here, but the rental demand is basically recession-proof because people always need to commute.
Why is the rating only 2.0/5?
The SMART_MONEY tag means it’s a high-yield, low-glamour area—it’s a move for your wallet, not for your Instagram feed.
