We were on the topic of housing again and after some considerations, decided to apply for the DBSS flats in Bishan. It happened that today was the final day of the online application as well. It was a nice coincidence, so there were no qualms about it when we clicked on the submit button.

A designer built luxurious apartment project featuring 3 towering blocks of 4-room and 5-room DBSS public housing flats with full amenities nearby for modern urban lifestyle prestige living, and yet so close to the tranquility and peace of nature. Situated at one of the most sought after location in Singapore, surrounded by many of the Singapore’s reputed schools and flanked by a lavish array of nature retreats, ranging from parks to reservoirs, Natura Loft is your ideal choice to fulfil your dreams of enjoying the best of both worlds.

Enjoy all the perks of public housing and at the same time a prestige lifestyle similar to condominium living.

Here are the layout plans from the brochure, particularly the 4-room ones which we are interested in.

The quoted price range is from $465000 to $586000, or about $450 to $570 psf. I would consider it to be quite reasonable taking into consideration the location, and of course it comes fully renovated except for furniture. On top of that, most of the floor area are livable spaces, unlike a condominium which I have seen that comes with 3 or 4 planter boxes.

Another most important factor for me is that the carpark for residents will be built under the flats, which means that my precious motorbikes will probably be sheltered. To cut a long story short, the apartment meets all of my housing criteria.

The main drawback would only be the price.
