About Tan Kah Kee MRT

Tan Kah Kee (DT8) sits in a quiet, upscale Bukit Timah pocket where schools and low-rise homes meet daily ease. Groceries and clinics cluster around Coronation Plaza, while Greenwood Avenue offers cosy restaurants for easy weeknight dinners. On the Downtown Line, it’s a straight run to city stations, with natural transfers at Botanic Gardens for the Circle Line, Newton for the North-South Line and Bugis for the East-West Line. Joggers and cyclists use the Bukit Timah canal path for breezy evening loops.

FAQs

Use light colors, mirrors, and good lighting to create an illusion of space. Choose compact, multi-functional furniture and utilize vertical storage. Keep the room uncluttered, use under-bed storage, and consider whether you can use some shared areas for activities like studying or relaxing.

Modern units may include smart locks, video intercoms, app-controlled air-conditioning, or smart lighting. Understand how these systems work and whether you'll have admin access. Check if these features increase your rent or utility costs, and ensure you're comfortable using the technology.

Rental demand typically peaks during university intake periods (July-August and January) and expat relocation seasons (June-August and December-January). Prices may be higher during these periods. Consider timing your search during off-peak months for better deals and more negotiating power. Chinese New Year period often sees reduced activity.

Ground floor units offer easy access without lift dependency, convenient for moving furniture or groceries, and potential for small gardens or patios. However, they may have less privacy, more noise from foot traffic, and security concerns. High floor units provide better views, more privacy, less noise, and better ventilation, but depend on lift access and may be less convenient for daily errands.
