Red Portal (6) - Highest Amenity Index

The amenity index measures the amenities within 1 km of a housing project. Points are given for the type of amenity (e.g highest is for MRT) weighted by the distance to the amenity. The highest score for the amenity index (AMX) is 100.

Here are the housing projects (i.e. condominiums) with the highest AMX. Most of them are not expensive, i.e. benchmark price less than $1000 psf. They are located in the central area.
