Normally , people see Potong Pasir as a small place which is lacking of the newest facilities that other neighbourhood are upgrading into . The colours of the walls of the high-rise flats look like they have been around ever since ancient history times , but what lies behind this place are people and places that makes judgers think twice on calling this the oldest place around . Potong Pasir firstly lies on the Northeast Line , and somewhere off the middle . To access town , it only takes 8 minutes to Dhoby Ghaut , and it's a stop from NEX , the newest shopping centre around . The line also allows you to transfer at hotspots such as Dhoby , Serangoon and Outram , which also lies off the centre stations of the lines they can access to . If you want to access even more specific locations , there are a wide variety of buses to choose from . This makes Potong Pasir a very happening location as commuters come and go very often .
To add on to that , Potong Pasir is a place where all types of races can come together and have fun . The community centre offers many different types of courses and classes , such as Basic English Course and Taekwondo which allows the young and the old to equip themselves with the latest technology , and the newest trends . Plus , it comes at a very reasonably low price , which allows fellow neighbours who are financially constrained to have a chance of attending these classes . There is also a street soccer court and a basketball court , where the young ones have a chance to mix with the seniors for a session to sweat it out , and there's a park and exercise corner , which allows the people to keep healthy , keep fit . The food available is also convenient as there's western food , muslim food , indian food , all within walking distance from one another . There are also venues for religious activities within the vicinity , though Buddhists believers would have to take a 5 minute bus ride down to Toa Payoh to offer prayers , as that's the nearest temple .
As one thing has it's advantages , there would definitely be disadvantages . Potong Pasir tend to experience traffic jams during peak hours , especially during St Andrew's School dismissal times , because the roads are very small , and there's no space for cars to mobilise as freely as in other areas . But overall , Potong Pasir is a unique neighbourhood , because it shines for the limited yet useful facilities within it !
