Good for you! You sold off your sail already? :)
I heart D9, regardless what others say about it. River valley and those devts near botanic gardens (eg Somerville, Botanika) are great places to stay and raise kids. Near orchard and raffles place, but not too near.
I am eyeing the prices ard D9. When prices are right, may want to go in for another. Saw a 1281sqft 3 bedder unit at Domain21 asking for $1.6m lately. Wait a while longer may come down to a level where I am keen.
yeah sold - 'downgraded' to a bigger place at a not so good locale to have cash in bank for future opportunities. but main reason was to find a child friendly environ. TS was unbeatable living for adults and tweens but open concept posed a huge security risk - not to mention quite a f-up maintenance by mcst common areas are starting to look like hdb. i still dun like d9 personally but it's a good compromise for the kid, next door to some of the best kindergartens/playschools, and great shopping/spa for the wifey. i'm gonna miss my full bay/sea view/lasershow tho
Nah, I don't either. Domain 21 was just quoted as an example that prices in prime are worth watching. Same psf as Watertown@punggol. Hahhaha... Both 99LH. Apple for apple comparison.
From what i read over this forum, watertown pricing range from 9xx to 1300psf. It is difficult to make a meaningful comparison
Just did a check on domain, i would prefer to monitor prices over at one jervous or twin regency

Haha I recalled a conversation with you a long time ago... I dun really see the merits of D1 whereas you don't see the merits of D9. :) but truly D9 is not a bad place to stay imho. You'll grow to like it. :)
If not, you can check out D10! Can join my kid at nanyang primary or check out RGPS one day. :)

Haha yeah. But at $1,249psf (negotiable some more), it is cheaper than those nuts queuing at Watertown. Hahaha...
I like Somerville Park. Or Martin Place Residences. A long time ago, I almost bot a unit at MPR. I shd have made my move. Now it's too exp. sigh...
Nanyang is good. Bilingual environment. I like. Can start looking out for the Parent Volunteer registration.

i very old skool when it comes to district codes. D9 to me is orchard bounded by grange, cairnhill, and south of newton. those funny stuff e.g. newton edge is really kampong java so i dun consider that d9.

There is one guy over here bought it for 9xxpsf

Never underestimate far east. They can sell anything... Even ice to Eskimos at three times the market price for ice, plus make the Eskimos feel good after over paying for their ice.
The MPR unit I almost bought was on level 33. View must have been breath-taking.

Yup. Agree. Even river valley can be so different! From one jervois all the way to Robertson quay area. From d9 to d10.
Even d11 is very varied. Some of them are practically in thomson already. :)

Join the NC, Grassroots way. Much easier route compared to PV. But you have to act now as there is probation period. Current rules state you need to be executive member at least 1 yr before registration.
My family also either ACS or MGS (Primary education) but I chose NYPS for my boys. My dad protested but eventually my other half won the battle.

Reading again all the old comments regarding concerns about Soleil bec it is next to hospital. Looks like all these concerns do not make a difference at all.
May be the take home message should be: Next to hospital or not, if it is convenient, it will still sell like a hot cake.

Wow!! 10.8 million.. :scared-1:
Soleil's price is still going strong because it is a rare superior product in that area:1) Larger site is hard to come by in a densely built Novena. Tt can accommodate large pools and a central garden, with panaranic view of the city skyline at high floor. More Land area with comparatively lesser plot ratio in centralised location is a rarity, it translates to more views, more privacy and more future value. 2)Unlike many recent mixed development, its has residential privacy and ambience, with mixed development facilities and conveniences at door step----the best of both world. Its subsale price was about 1350psf for a low floor 2 bedroom unit in early 2011. My friend got it and has been enjoying rental value at $5500 per month since TOP. Identifying superior product in property investment is important. Knowing what constitutes superior quality need years of experience, extensive knowledge, lots of hard work and conviction.

One of lousiest location in Novena, facing the Tan Tock Seng Hospital, every day and night "Yee Orr Yee Orr Yee Orr", don't know whether the people there will get used to it?
According to Feng Shui or Geomancy, never buy a property directly facing the Hospital or Temple!

There is a huge downside... its 99-year LH and surrounded by FHs around the area and that is precisely why it has to be built as `high-end' to differentiate from the rest

The ambiance near Soleil is quite good, quiet, and comfortable for living and convenience itself is no need to say!
And besides that, Soleil facilities are one of the best and inside lush greenery garden landscape is seamless and matchless among condos in novena and newton.
I am very doubtful why you say Novena is one of lousiest location in Novena!
If you still say it is due to facing Tan Tock Seng, then,, nothing to say to you!!
But one thing I need to say to all of forumer is everything about property is shown by its price how it has been risen and moving.
I still remember people who had been saying badly about Soleil with hospital and Feng shui things blabla since 2007 until TOP, and poorly confused other forumers and investors,,
But I am still holding my Soleil unit and quite happy and enjoying renting my unit without trouble so far with relatively high rental yield!
Those low floor units beside novena square kena the exhaust fumes and air con exhaust of the mall. Occassionally got pumes of white oily smoke bellowing out from there one. :scared-3:
Those low units facing car park + exhaust are no good. The site layout has the problem of giving too much space for the garden + pools, as a result the towers are being pushed back and located too close to hotel oasis and novena square. However, It also means that those garden facing units have all the best view and privacy, and are able to command higher rental and selling price. Buying the best units in a property is important? Being adjacent to TTS is not really a problem. Fengshui or not, Soleil property is one of the most popular and successful in Novena.

been to see a few units around the area. For Soleil, main attraction is city view for the high floors and good facilities and near MRT. But a lot of units face the hotel/blocked or TTSh or novena hosp. for investment ok, for own stay some owners may not like. the mortuary is just around the corner, again, no issue for some but maybe an issue for others.
the convenience attracts tenants, so probably why rentals are good.
As for issues facing carpark and exhaust, it also depends on the individual's views. For example, a lot of the units at Viva face directly the carpark and the exhaust/ventilator shunts blow directly in its direction. can be loud at night. again some may mind while others don't.
whatever one's views, prices of these condos are still very high.
every condo sure got faults

Whatever the concerns, rental generally good
Problem will come 15-20 years later when its lease gets much shorter and most devepts there are FH.

No worry lah! The area will be developed into a "world class medical centre".
There are currently several high profile medical projects at various stage of development. More such projects are coming....Novena square office rental is rising again.

That would help.
However, some agents said the waters are a bit unknown, and the test case for LH in the area will be Amaryllis.
Think Amaryllis is into 16 years of its lease and another 10 years or so, may get some answer how it fares against the FH in the area.
