There are plans to build an integrated health care facility nearby, but we are still waiting for official announcements of the plan as well as the roadmap since COVID had hit the construction industry.

As the town is not exactly a new establishment, there are plenty of schools in the area. For primary schools, there are Xinghua Primary School, Holy Innocents’ Primary School, CHIJ Our Lady of the Nativity, Xinmin Primary School and more.

For transportation wise, you will be spoilt for choices as both projects are near to main MRT lines. For the Hougang Citrine, it is located in between Kovan MRT as well as Bartley MRT, and these will provide you with plentiful of options.

Most people in Singapore would know to avoid the west sun because they probably known the sun to rise in the East direction and sets in the West direction. Singapore's afternoon sun mainly are from two directions, northwest and southwest. From March to September, the sun is in the direction of the north-west, and from September to March, the sun is in the south-west direction. Homeowners generally avoid buying west-facing units due to the strong sunrays where the sun will be on the afternoon!

Most of the stack are north and south facing which has no direct afternoon sun!
