Bus & MRT 🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑
Seriously, Choa Chu Kang is already not a central place. THIS HOUSE IS NOT EVEN NEAR TO THE CCK MRT, NOR IS IT NEAR THE LRT.

LRT in itself is already a turn-off, but this place is not even accessible by that. You need to take a bus.

Just look at the blue arrow in the image above, thats how far the place is from CCK mrt.

And look at the buses available, LOL. Btw, the bus only goes to CCK mrt. Nowhere else.

Amenities 🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑
Sorry, what amenities? Based on google maps, there is a “Keat Hong Shopping Centre” right in front of the flats.

But it is actually just this… and there’s no supermarket here as well..

Scenery 🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑
And once again, what scenery?

The views are more ore less blocked.

There is construction nearby, so there will be noise.

And you are literally beside the train track, how do you even stay here….

Investment 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
Honestly, I’m not even sure if you will gain much from this house, even though it just MOP-ed. There does not seem to be any future development near the area (unless you count tengah, which is a town on its own).

Cost 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
$500k for 4 room (7th floor).

Conclusion
The accessibility of the flat is downright nasty. The amenities are atrocious. The surroundings are a weird combination of noisy and quietness. Honestly, the only way I’ll potentially consider buying is if its $300k. Heck, I won’t even bother, really.
