14 new-launch condos within a 10-minute walk of North-South Line (NSL) MRT stations

A major selling point of properties here is their proximity to the MRT. Especially for those who don't drive, and rely on public transport to get around the city, the distance to the MRT can make or break a deal.

One of the most notable MRT lines here is the North-South Line (NSL), which is Singapore's first MRT line. When it first opened in 1987, it only comprised five MRT stations, with the line stretching between Yio Chu Kang and Toa Payoh. The line has since grown longer over the years as more stations were added, connecting residents from Jurong East to Marina South Pier.

Using 99.co's search filter function, we list down new launch condos to look out for that are within a 10-minute walking distance of the NSL MRT stations.
