A few weeks ago, I toured Tai Keng Villas and Paya Lebar Crescent. After which, a reader expressed interest in the How Sun/Bartley enclave across Upper Paya Lebar road, so that’s where we’re headed today! If you want to get a feel for the entire area beyond just How Sun Drive, I recommend reading those 2 posts too as Bartley is too large a district for me to cover well in just one article. (The area we’re touring during this walkabout is the triangular region bounded between How Sun Drive, Quemoy Road, Upper Paya Lebar Road, and Bartley Road.) 

One thing to note is that although the area is bounded by 2 major roads (Bartley and Upper Paya Lebar) both of which see a considerable amount of traffic, it is surprisingly not as noisy as I would have thought. Walking along the main road is a different matter, of course!
