What Residents Say
If you drive, it works well. Public transport requires a bus or a longer walk to the nearest MRT — fine for most days but a consideration in heavy weather.
Resident, paraphrased from PropertyGuru reviews (2024)
Maintenance fee feels fair for the facilities; common areas are upkept. Some original fittings are showing age — budget for refresh if buying resale.
Resident, paraphrased from 99.co (2024)
Quiet at night, friendly neighbours. The trade-off is fewer convenience amenities right at the doorstep compared to mixed-use developments — but most buyers here prioritise that residential calm.

Strengths & Weaknesses
- Boutique-scale development with lower facility-related management overhead
- Established neighbourhood character with mature streetscape and amenity profile
- MRT proximity data is sparse — confirm walking time before assuming convenience
- Thin transaction history (0 sales) makes pricing comparables hard to triangulate
- Facilities suite is limited — pool and basic amenities only at boutique scale
- Limited nearby-school data — verify school-belt access manually for family buyers
Who This Actually Suits
This is a strong match for mrt-walkable commuters. Located ~189m from Aljunied MRT, this property is a comfortable daily walk for transit commuters.
For young couples (no kids), families with young children and empty nesters / downsizers, it can work — but weigh the trade-offs before committing.
cbd walking distance and yield-focused investors should probably look elsewhere. Walking distance to the Marina Bay financial cluster lets you skip transit entirely.
Verdict
Composite assessment: ADVANCE APARTMENTS demands specific buyer-profile fit. The blended editorial score lands at 5.9/10, weighting facilities, layout, value, neighbourhood, MRT access and lease tenure equally.
For most buyers, a holding period of longer holds (10+ years) generally improve outcomes given valuation sensitivity.
