5. Jurong West Crystal (Jurong West BTO)

What we love about this BTO

The relative proximity to Pioneer MRT station is definitely a selling point for this BTO. Having access to an MRT on the East-West Line (EWL) is a plus point for homebuyers, even though Pioneer MRT is on the far end of the “green” line (i.e. further West than Jurong East station!).

Besides having an MRT station just two streets away, there are also various amenities that are available around Jurong West Crystal. Jurong West Sports Centre, Jurong West Hawker Centre, and Jurong Point are all located within a 1km radius, along with various parks including Yunnan Park. There are also a list of primary and secondary schools located within the same 1km radius, making it very convenient for families.

What you might not like about this BTO

The BTO is just one street across the industrial area in Pioneer. The concern of noise and heavy vehicles roaming along the roads might be at the back of homebuyers’ minds.
