Personally, for own stay, I prefer to buy a house close to where I work. That’s means it will be in the mature area. Possible a 2/3 room high rise apartment since the land property in these areas is beyond my budget. Simple reason that I hate the traffic jam to and from my working place if I stay far.

For investment wise, I will consider to invest in the landed property in one of upcoming township. There are more factors to consider when investing in upcoming areas compare to the mature areas.
