Direct answer: Homes near NUS and NUH may appeal to healthcare, research and education professionals as well as families connected to the institutions. Premium new-launch prices require careful net-yield and commute analysis.
A diverse demand base
NUH, NUS, Science Park and one-north create overlapping employment pools. This diversification is helpful, but not every worker chooses a premium condo or the same bedroom type.
Transport matters
Door-to-door travel can depend on bus connections, walking shelter and shift hours. Investors should test actual routes rather than relying only on map radius.
Unit selection
Efficient one- and two-bedroom homes may target professionals, while families need real bedrooms, storage and practical kitchens. Furnishing and quiet work space can affect tenant appeal.
Emmeline’s takeaway: Proximity creates a potential audience; the unit and rent must still match that audience’s budget and routines.
