Recommendations

Stacks 1-15 are outward facing with the closest proximity to the two LRT stations, which means that the units in these stacks will face more traffic noise. Also avoid stacks 47-55 and 56-57, as units in these stacks will be hit the worst by the dreaded afternoon sun.

A wider look around Sol Acres

Sol Acres is surrounded by quite a number of kindergartens and primary schools within walking distance, making it a great choice for couples who have a child on the way. Nearby retail options include Lot One Shoppers’ Mall, Junction 10 and Bukit Panjang Plaza, and the upcoming Hillion Mall is slated to open in early 2017.

As for transport, residents can rely on Downtown Line 2 which provides them with a shorter journey to the city centre. The Jurong Regional Line is a work-in-progress, and will connect Jurong West, Jurong Industrial Estate, West Coast, Choa Chu Kang, and Tengah when it begins service in 2025.

For residents who are fond of taking day trips to our neighbouring countries, the Jurong East High Speed Rail, which shuttles between Singapore and Malaysia, is estimated to be completed by 2026. This will cut travelling time from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur to a mere 90 minutes.
