If there’s anything Singaporeans are, it’s kiasu. We queue like nobody’s business, hustle onto the MRT in the hopes of getting the best seats, and take matters into our own hands when it comes to planning for the next generation.
More than amenities, a top priority for prospective home buyers is location. For future parents especially, picking a home that’s close to a choice school is of utmost importance. Living within a certain distance from the school renders the child eligible for priority admission, and once admitted, the proximity allows for unparalleled convenience in the form of an easy commute.
Here, we’ve compiled a list of 10 condos near good schools in Singapore, so you can make sure you make an informed purchasing decision.
