Woodleigh Glen BTO Quick Siteplan Analysis

**********************************************************

Estimated T.O.P: 2021-09-01 Sales Launch: Nov 2016 BTO Location: Bounded by Woodleigh Link, Bidadari Park Drive and Upper Serangoon Road Total Blocks: 8 Blocks Total Units: 688 units Distance from nearest MRT: Approximately 5 minutes walk away from Woodleigh MRT Station.

**********************************************************

For this exercise, I have included the measurements of the estimated distance to the roads and neighboring residential units. This will give you an idea of roughly how close certain stacks are near the roads.

Here are some photos of the BTO site when our team visited the area on a weekend evening.

I shall pick out the popular units based on the following desirable attributes:

1. Park view; 2. Unblocked view; 3. Non-west facing; 4. Home privacy and; 5. 'Private' corridor.

Lastly, please refer to the write up here to find out how you can mitigate the effects of undesirable attributes (such as the western sun etc) on a HDB unit. :)

During the site visit, the team noted that the area is mostly bounded by landed private housing and is very windy. Therefore, here is one of the potential views that the higher units might get.

Our team checked out the road traffic noise on a weekend evening. We observed that the traffic is moderately heavy and the level of noise ranges between 60 to 70 + decibel. However, the traffic will be heavier during the weekdays and therefore, the noise level will be much higher too.

So, if you are sensitive to noise, aside from the stacks which are next to the roads, you should also avoid the following stacks which are either near to the playground, the adult or the elderly fitness station.

Blk 206A: Stack 37 & 39 Blk 206B: Stack 49, 51 & 63 Blk 206C: Stack 73" & 83 Blk 206D: Stack 85 & 93

To conclude, there is no such thing as the perfect stack. Therefore, you should decide with your partner the selection criteria prior shortlisting your units. Nevertheless, based on the attributes which I have listed above, here is a summary of what each stack has to offer.

Blocks 206A, 206B, 207A and 207B are nearer to the Woodleigh Village, which is next to the Woodleigh MRT Station. Hence, you should choose the stacks from these blocks if you wish to be nearer to the MRT.

Lastly, to help you during your selection process, I have also included the complete list of floor plans in this article.
