Dear All

What do you think about the property near to main road side? (Sungai Long SL2 along with Sungai Long Medical Centre / Shell)

I am contemplating a terrace house along a main trunk road in terms of below downsides. Apart from these are all good (red bricks, good rental, easy access to shop lots etc)

a) Noise
b) Dust
c) Air Quality? Exhaust from the road vehicles?

Will that be an issue to you and if really want to buy, how to resolve/minimise the concerns above?

Kind share your opinion and advice.
Thank You

Warm Regards

Break ins as well. Main road or busy road houses typically have higher break in frequency.

Not familiar with the exact location as some others here. Apart from the 3 factors mentioned above, you might want to add one more, which is security. It may not be a concern to some, but it will be to others. Some housing areas which do not have a proper guard house setup still use guards with boom gate manually controlled.

For the 3 factors, I would think that noise pollution is more critical than the other two which are basically almost the same (since dust affects air quality). In other words, you can just lump up dust and air quality as 1 factor. Everywhere has dust. Even if your house is few metres or blocks away from the main road, it will still have dust. The only way to reduce the dust is to close all windows and doors at all times. Otherwise you would have to clean your house everyday. If you don't clean your house frequently with all the dust inside your house and on the floor, your health will be affected in the long-run.

If given a choice, I believe most if not all will choose a property that is not located along the main road unless there is no choice, or it's for other purpose such as renting and investment instead of own stay.

Hi, its seems like a good topic to discuss, what about if staying in these houses? Do they face any bad air problem?
