Two of the Kallang/Whampoa September BTO projects — Jalan Tenteram and Jalan Rajah — are located very close to each other and share a lot of the same amenities. Both of launches are located in a mature estate.

As their names suggest, the two BTO launches are located at Jalan Tenteram and at the intersection of Jalan Rajah and Kim Keat Road respectively. Both estates are in relatively close proximity to four MRT stations – Toa Poyoh, Novena, Potong Pasir and Boon Keng, making the estates very well connected by both the North-South and North-East MRT lines.

The estates have lots of well developed amenities and good schools in the area. More notable ones include Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Toa Payoh Sports Hall, Toa Payoh Swimming Complex and St. Andrew's Junior College.

A total of 1,770 units will be available across the two BTO launches. The size of unit you are after might be your deciding factor when chosing between the two projects. The Jalan Tenteram launch offers 3-room and 4-room units while the Jalan Rajah launch offers 2-room flexi and 4-room units.

There is a third BTO launch in the Kallang/Whampoa area. Situated at Geylang Road, this third estate is the biggest of the three projects with a total of 1,140 units, comprising of 2-room flexi, 3-room and 4-room configurations. Just like the other two Kallang/Whampoa projects, the Geylang Road launch is in a mature estate.

This estate is located within walking distance of Kallang MRT station and bus interchange, making it very accessible via public transport. However, do note that this BTO project is right by the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway. This could be a deal breaker for home-buyers who are sensitive to traffic noise.

There are many amenities in the area such as Kallang Leisure Park mall, a polyclinic, and Singapore Sports Hub. For the outdoor enthusiast or fitness junkie, the estate is also very close to Kallang River, Kallang Riverside Park and Marina Reservoir.

The Queenstown BTO project is the first of the two non-mature estates in the September round of BTO launches. It is situated at Commonwealth Drive and consists of 970 units with 3-room and 4-room units available.

The area is serviced by both the East-West line via Commonwealth MRT Station and the Circle line via One-North MRT Station. While there are not as robust amenities compared to some of the projects in mature-estates, it is extremely convenient for those who work in the Fusionoopolis business park area.

It is also important to keep in mind that the neighbouring Tanglin Halt area is slated for redevelopment under the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERs). While the specifics of this redevelopment plan have not bee announced yet, it is fair to assume that this redevelopment will also result in more food, shopping and community services being developed in the area.

On top of that, there are many schools in the area ranging from primary schools to tertiary institutions that make the area attractive to families who have school going children.

Location: Commonwealth Drive

Public transport: Commonwealth MRT Station (walking distance), One-North MRT Station

Amenities: Star Vista, QMall (under construction), National University Hospital, Fusionopolis, Timbre+ One North, Queenstown ActiveSG Stadium
