When you hear the words "waterfront living", what comes to mind? Probably Sentosa or East Coast right? The kinds of homes where you can watch the sunset by the ocean. It's an instant stress reliever. It feels like a peaceful escape from the busy city life.

I know what you're thinking. I can't afford that. Well, you're right, sort of. Let me explain.
Waterfront properties in Sentosa and East Coast aren't just known for the stunning views, they're also known to be expensive. Even the cheapest options in these areas are still beyond the reach of us mortals. Just take a look at the transaction trends of these Sentosa projects over the past 5 years.

The Berth by the Cove holds The lowest average price at $2.62M with an average psf of $1,433. Meanwhile, Seven Palms Sentosa Cove holds the highest average price at $14.38M with an average psf of $3,053.
More often than not, people purchase these homes for the lifestyle rather than for investment purposes. It's been said that the capital gains in Sentosa don't stack up as well compared to suburban condos. Of course, if your goal is to just enjoy living by the water, you'd probably be happy with what you're getting here, but I just want to keep you informed.
East Coast is slightly better, with it being the best side and all. The housing options are more varied and their performance is more stable too. But the prices are still pretty up there, especially since the new Thomson-East Coast MRT line was introduced. That definitely kept demand strong.
In fact, properties within 500m of Tanjong Rhu (TE 23), Katong Park (TE 24), Tanjong Katong/Amber (TE 25), Marine Parade (TE 26), Marine Terrace (TE 27), Siglap (TE 28), Bayshore (TE 29), the upcoming Bedok South (TE 30), and the upcoming Sungei Bedok (TE 31) stations, stretching along East Coast Park, have appreciated by 57% over the past decade. As you can see, the price psf has recently crossed $2,000, and it will probably continue to get more expensive.
