Train stations are a critical indicator of accessibility in Singapore's property market. The closer a location is to a major train line (e.g. East-West line), the higher accessibility it attains. Because convenience and connectivity is highly valued in Singapore, train station have a strong positive correlation to property prices. However, it is important to note that while accessibility is a big price determinant, there are a myriad of other factors that affect property prices, including density, schools, safety, neighborhood maturity, etc.
