Sembawang of course! Allow me to share with you, what this wonderful town can offer and it's potential.
There are about 200 blocks of HDB flats located in this estate where the residents are mostly of young families. Regardless of which part of the town you may be from, it is possible to reach the MRT station in a matter of 3 to 15minutes on foot. Not to mention that most of the blocks are linked with pedestrain covered walkways which makes it easy and convenient to walk around and between all clusters.
There is also a wide range of selection in terms of 4 room, 5 room, and Executive Apartments (EA) in Sembawang Town. There is a balance of Design and Build, together with normal flats. Typical floor areas of 4 room flats are 95 sqm, 5 room flats are 110-115sqm, and for EA, about 130sqm. With most of the flats are of less than 10 years old, each block and level comes with their own lifts. For drivers, there are plenty of covered parking spaces available in multi-story carparks. Almost every cluster of flats in Sembawang comes with their own mini mart and coffeeshops for convenience.

Travelling in and out of Sembawang town on public transport is a breeze. There are buses linking to Yishun, Woodlands or all the way to the City. The Sembawang (NS11) MRT station is on the North-South line. Exiting from the MRT station, you will be greeted with a wide selection of food and shopping. The Sunplaza is located just next to the MRT station. Their tenants include big names like Macdonald's, KFC, Coffee Bean, Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe, Old Chang Kee, Kopitiam, Fairprice, and Popular etc. Not to mention that the newly revamped Sembawang Shopping Centre is just a stone throw away from the town too.

There is also a community club; Jelutung CC with a huge hard court and park available where major community events are held.
Developments are still on-going for this town with opening of more roads which can lead to the SLE and major sports facilities. Can you imagine, a town with only about 200 blocks having the facilities of a full fledged town like Punggol and Sengkang? The fact that it is surrounded by parks and greenery definitely give it a laid-back feeling to its residents while the availability of amenities within reach of the whole town is a plus.
Not sure if this is really so? Come, spend some time and have a walk in the town, you will be pleasantly surprised!
I have the opportunity to work with residents in Sembawang for their purchase and sale of flats there since becoming a realtor and the development of this town has astonished not only me, but my customers as well. Definitely a good balance of price and value.
