A condo near Queenstown MRT places residents at the heart of a well-connected, city-fringe enclave, where everyday convenience meets swift commutes. Next to EW19 Queenstown at 301 Commonwealth Avenue, the 462-unit project pairs full facilities with instant rail access, easing trips to the city core and western nodes.
The elevated station sits between Commonwealth and Redhill on the East–West Line, right on the road’s central reserve, so arrivals are frequent and predictable. Its official station code is EW19. After a swim or gym session, residents can stroll to the platform in minutes, a perk busy households appreciate.
The island platform simplifies boarding in both directions, and clear signage keeps flows smooth. Since 2015, pedestrian bridges have linked both sides of Commonwealth Avenue, complementing two exits, elevators, and bicycle facilities.
Safety and comfort are handled, with half-height platform screen doors installed in 2011 and high-volume, low-speed fans by 2013. Operated by SMRT Trains, service runs from about 5:47 am to 12:10 am, with trains every two minutes at peaks, and up to five off-peak, a schedule that makes timing coffee runs almost an exact science.
Daily needs line the area. Queenstown Primary School, Queenstown Stadium, and Princess House sit close by, alongside the Rainbow Centre Margaret Drive campus and the New Optometry and Ocular Care Centre. Several churches are within walking distance, including The True Way Presbyterian Church, Church of the Good Shepherd, Queenstown Baptist Church, and Hephzibah Christian Fellowship.
At the station, a Citibank ATM and Toast Box cover quick errands. Buses, taxi stands, and direct access to Commonwealth Avenue, plus a free shuttle to selected estates, keep multimodal trips convenient. Property agents must perform due diligence checks when facilitating transactions in this desirable neighborhood, as mandated by Singapore’s regulatory authorities.
History adds texture. First announced in 1982 as “Princess,” then “Commonwealth,” the station took its Queenstown name in 1987, opening on March 12, 1988, after road realignments, block demolitions, and brief labour disputes. The opening was officiated by Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew.
Architect Michael Granit of BSK-BS Konsult referenced shophouses with blue pastel walls, horizontal louvres, a cantilevered roof, and Palladian hints, reducing glare and rain. For residents, this means fast, reliable travel wrapped in thoughtful civic design, a pairing that quietly elevates home life.
