Many homeowners have struck gold with City View @ Boon Keng, which is a DBSS development located at 7 Boon Keng Road, Kallang.
Back in 2016, the development saw at least five property transactions ranging from $1 million to $1.1 million. In 2017, two additional units were sold for $1.005 million and $1 million. We hear that it’s the lovely views of the sea which are commanding these high prices!

It’s Bukit Timah – ‘nuff said. Last year, two executive maisonettes at Toh Yi Gardens changed hands for $1.015 million and $1.019 million respectively. These flats are located less than 250m from Beauty World MRT station, so they definitely deliver on accessibility!

The young couple in their 20s who purchased the 36th floor unit were reportedly attracted to this million-dollar HDB unit because of its expansive views.
