In the decades since quarrying ceased, nature has taken over the old mining sites, flourishing alongside the developments that have transformed the area into a self-sufficient residential town. Bukit Batok boasts one of Singapore\u2019s most unique landscapes; the distinctive formations of Little Guilin and Bukit Batok Nature Park have been backdrop to many local period dramas and selfies alike.<\/span>\t<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21300\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21300\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Amenities-Le-Quest-Westmall-Bukit-Batok.jpg\" alt=\"Westmall has anchor tenants such as Bukit Batok Public Library, Cathay Cineplex and Cold Storage\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Amenities-Le-Quest-Westmall-Bukit-Batok.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Amenities-Le-Quest-Westmall-Bukit-Batok-380x284.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21300\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: Krristy Lam<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>Live, dine and play at Bukit Batok<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Westmall, located beside Bukit Batok MRT, is a comprehensive heartland mall with anchor tenants such as Bukit Batok Public Library, Cathay Cineplex and Cold Storage.

To further refine our search, we only looked at the per square foot (PSF) pricing of 99-year leasehold condominiums that had received their temporary occupation permit after year 2000. In addition, we zoomed in on PSF data from 2011 to 3Q 2018. <\/span>\t<\/p>\n<p>We found that <\/span><b>99-year leasehold condominiums in Bukit Batok performed remarkably well &#8211; appreciating by 50.53 per cent across an eight-year period<\/b>. The same property segment in Jurong registered gains of 16.6 per cent while its Bukit Panjang counterparts increased only slightly by 4.94 per cent. <\/span>\t<\/p>\n<p>If one is looking at buy a home or investment property in the West, private homes in Bukit Batok certainly warrant a closer look. Robust gains have been made by 99-year leasehold condominiums in just under a decade.<\/span>\t<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21312\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21312\" style=\"width: 1397px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21312\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Jurong-Lake-District-Near-Le-Quest-Bukit-Batok.png\" alt=\"The Jurong Lake District is a 10 minute drive away from Le Quest in Bukit Batok\" width=\"1397\" height=\"514\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21312\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: URA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>The strategic positioning of Bukit Batok\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>When the 360-ha Jurong Lake District (JLD) is complete, it is expected to be home to some 20,000 residential properties and support 175,000 jobs, according to projections shared by the Urban Redevelopment Agency. \u00a0<\/span>\t<\/p>\n<p>In the long run, areas in the JLD are expected to register an increase in both property and population buildup.
