Woodleigh Village 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: 3 Blocks Total Units: 330 units Distance from nearest MRT: Approximately 2 minutes walk away from Woodleigh MRT Station.

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

Again for this exercise, I have included the measurements of the estimated distance of the stacks to the roads and neighbouring residential units. This will give you an idea of roughly how close certain stacks are near the roads. For this BTO project, I noticed that the roads are considerably much nearer to the stacks when compared to the Woodleigh Glen project.

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

The popular units will be picked 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. :)

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.

Hence if you are someone who is sensitive to noise, aside from the stacks which are next to the roads, you should also be mindful that since Woodleigh Village is designed to be an integrated transport and residential hub, the amount of human traffic will be significantly higher than Woodleigh Glen. Therefore, since public facilities will be located on the lower floors, residents like you will experience some form of noise generated from the human activities as sound travel upwards.

Do take note that Stack 92 in Block 201C has a pretty oddly shaped living room. Thus, you might need to spend more on customized furniture in order to maximise the floor area.

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

Well, there is no such thing as the perfect stack. Therefore, do discuss with your partner the selection criteria prior shortlisting the units. In conclusion, based on the attributes which I have listed above, here is a summary of what each stack has to offer. As Block 201C is nearest to the Woodleigh MRT Station and also facing the Heritage Walk, it should be the most popular choice among the homeowners in this BTO selection exercise.

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