This project TOP recently.

Anyone has views to share about this project?

Is it worth to invest since close to MRT, freehold?

If the price is right, and it fits your liking, plus the convenience of MRT and freehold, wat's stopping u? Stay or Invest is only one fine line. What u personally like to stay and live in would like suit other potential investors. At the end of day, property price is like building castles in the air, it is only a matter of time it will tumble from its peak but the smart investor exits at the right timing and right price while the end owner can choose to take losses or continue stay in his castle. At this time of the market, u wil definitely not be the end owner. ;-)

Have checked some units on sale. Owners were asking around 900-1000psf, which I find rather high at this point in time.

Also checked out some of the newer developments there, most developers are selling above 1000psf like the Verte and another one near to East Coast Road (cant recall the name now). Actually I like the Verte much more, in particular those units facing the park (really cool!) but all sold out and I guess those lucky owners probably wont part theirs for at least 1200psf. Well, it wont be at least 2years before this is completed and brochures could be misleading...:)

Treeline units that we've seen have small rooms and huge balconies(!) and nothing much in terms of facilities to speak of... the other thread on Telok Kurau boutique developments having tiny swimming pools is quite spot on, haha. Can't imagine say 3 families (father, mother and 2 kids x 3 = 12 pax) sharing the pool all at the same time, definitely congestion problem! Having said that though, our current place has a pretty decent pool but come to think of it, we hardly ever use it, haha.

However, the location is one of the best in Telok Kurau we've seen so far, if not the best. Very close to the Kembangan MRT and yet very quiet neighboorhood. My spouse actually loved it and was seriously contemplating the plunge but I guess one of us had to be more sane, what with the prices being quoted.

For rental, we think could make sense due to the MRT but we're a bit skeptical if the small sizes would interest or attract good tenants, especially in the longer term. Guess I'll need a bit more safety margin if going for rental investment.

All in all, we'll keep looking around this little corner as we consider Telok Kurau a nice place to have a home, not too atas, not too ulu, not too crowded... it's a bit of a mixed, charming, hidden gem really!

I agree with u that treeline is one of the best among all the projects in TK..but not much landscaping and pathetically small pool.

I gave an offer of around 800psf before it TOP, but too bad...rejected...

Verte is the best project in TK, but all units facing the park are above 1mil!

Ambrosia is good too.

Not too crowded? Try imagine many of the current landed will soon be boutique apartments....the traffic is already a nightmare as of now!

Hahaha... that is quite true about traffic!

I think for the Treeline, however, there is one side road into Changi Road, so at least dont have to drive all the way to the end to channel into main roads. For other Lorongs, could well be a bigger problem although some Lorongs do have a couple of exit points... Maybe the day the TP start drawing a long white line on the roads there, we'll see all the parked vehicles cleared and no more congestion! :) ... Congestion in terms of people though, I think is still quite reasonable. Been to the Siglap park connector and in fact walked all the way to East Coast Park once, was quite a pleasant and relaxing walk along greenery. Hope it'll always stay that way!

Still thinking of the Verte too, really regret missed the soft launch as was busy that time! :doh: ... I think Ambrosia was the other project we visited recently (the one on East Coast Road??). Nice showroom but location-wise is not for us as one of our criteria must be MRT within 10mins walking distance.

Hmm... that is true. Then again, boutique apartments bring along with it self containing car parks..

The problem now is that many of the landed owners have more cars than their houses can handle thus parking on the public road...

I don't think it will get worse... but the problem is not likely to go away as well...

Boutique's meaning
09-06-08, 10:07
Boutique apartmentas are supposed to have unique "theme" and special features. TK apartments are small, lack unique features and definitely not boutique. Let's not bastardise the word "boutique" okay?

Thank you for your feedback.

I was, in all circumstances, merely brorrowing the phrase from a comment posted by "IMHO".

With respect, most apartment projects are also being marketed as boutique apartment without really any content so there you have it...

for any property consideration, buyers should have in mind what's their objective (buy to stay or invest) and their desirable psf entry range which provides an indication of their overall budget.

next, buyers need to open their minds and not be obsessed with the leasehold freehold factor, esp when they're exploring private condo projects for investment. this will open them up for a more objective range of project choices..so u need to lay these out before u embark on any exploration (identify those mandatory features/factors)..

objective-stay/invest (anticipated rental returns)
price range
freehold/leasehold
location's attractiveness
condo's surroundings
condo' condition/appeal (if looking for theme development, what themes)
unit's condition/appeal

Dear all,
Just my five cents worth. I went to Treeline for a viewing today (agent brought me there) and I noticed the following which sort of disturbs me a little
1. Workmanship was really bad - some wardrobes was not even working (cannot open).
2. Flooring was bad with cracks
3. Pool appears to be quite small
4. Balcony is rectagularish in shape... personally prefers square like balconies
5. The bedroom balcony was way too small to even do anything at all
6. No covered car parks.
Good points:-
1. Very convenient near to MRT
2. Quiet environment
3. Located immediately next to Park connector


Owner wanted 990K for a 1100sf apartment. What say you guys?

My personal opinion, if you do drive, compare treeline vs esta, i'll opt for esta..

TK is crowded
16-06-08, 00:11
Covered car park makes a huge difference in terms of maintenance of your car and convenience. It rains 40% of the time in Singapore. Imagine having to brave the sun and rain just to get to your car...

I stay at landed property at Telok Kurau area. I must say the traffic here is already quite bad with all the condos springing up everywhere! I find these condos such an eyesore - all look exactly the same. Even I can't tell the difference between project A and project Z. The small lanes were never meant for hundreds of units of condo within a short stretch. In fact, every morn when the rubbish truck comes to clear the rubbish, it jams up the entire lane - that's how small the lanes are. It's horrifying how the condos are appearing everywhere when the facilities can't cater for the influx of people moving in. For those who think it is "exclusive" here - it's not and very congested. I really hope the developers stop building condos on small plots - not condusive for the once-quiet environment. Also, beware of small developers. I have some neighbours staying in the condos here and complain about the poor workmanship. The small developers usually go for the cheapest possible materials. Some of the condos have leaking problems into the walls.

We just visited Treeline over the weekend, it was sunny, I managed to find sheltered carpark lots at the back of the pool.

The pool is normal for Telok Kurau developments, maybe as we'd seen smaller ones at places near Lor L, Joo Chiat Place and other nearby small development.

We viewed a 1500++ square feet unit. Its nice move-in condition with planter box convertible to balcony, not as bad as previously mentioned (perhaps defects done)... when asked, the agent mentioned developer will do any defects within 1st year.

We saw the proximity of the MRT from this unit, this development is one of the newest and nearest to MRT. Seriously considering this project for the convenience of my family to MRT and food areas, and can even cycle to East Coast beach as the Siglap Park Connector is just beside this Treeline development.

While I was driving out of this Lor G project, I managed to avoid the whole stretch of Lor G road, by turning out from a side road Jln Wa.... on to Changi Road (got many cafe there). Realise this side road is a thru-and-fro lane, that means I can skip that Lor G stretch.

Aiya... after looking at Blu Coral and Ambrosia, I appreciate Treeline better, but now waiting for spouse to decide when to proceed for big or small unit... fingers crossed.

We are also considering the Treeline.

Some of the things mentioned are true (we also saw the defects) but these can be fixed. Room sizes are small but acceptable i guess.

This project, on balance, is not too bad compared to some others in the vicinity, mainly due to good location. Amenities, food, MRT, yet quiet and next to park and park connector.

May I know what psf the seller asking for the 1500sf unit?

Actually not everywhere is crowded. Just gotta look for gems!

Anyway, I think I will move out of my landed at Telok Kurau when the time is right before all the condos TOP. I don't forsee the possibility of expanding the narrow lanes as the houses (now replaced by condos) are built row by row very close together and there is no room to widen the road at all. IMHO, the east coast is in some way overrated because East Coast Park is also overcrowded and polluted. So I'm thinking of moving nearer the nature reserves at Bukit Timah area, which I think is less crowded and underrated. At least the landed there is not infested by condos! Hope I can see my place @ Telok Kurau to a condo developer! Then huat already..... Too bad I move too slowly....

wow moving from east to west, what a big change it'dbe for u.. better rental an unit to see if u really like it there before uprooting yourself... also depending on yr age and how "reliant" u have been on what tk/east offered u, u may come to regret cos it may take u longer to adapt ..

Totally agree... also generally East commands more than West...

My friend related a story that both his relatives bought properties 6 years ago, one in Jurong area and the other in tampines (all private) at about the same prices but with the Jurong one slightly bigger...

Back to the present, the Tampines Unit commanded a higher price even if the unit is slightly smaller than the Jurong one....

I read in the papers there is much higher proportion of HDB upgraders in the east compared to other parts of Singapore, which will keep the prices strong. It's an aspirational thing for HDB upgraders to move to the east. Personally I'm not a big fan of the beach in Singapore - find it dirty so wont be too fuss about staying near the beach. I find Bukit Timah a nice place and got relatives staying there. It may seem strange but the Bukit timah area seems cooler than my current home at Telok Kurau. I dont think one can say east is "richer", in fact, the old money areas are all skewed to the west. There're also many mass mkt condos in the east as well. Anyway, see first lah. Dunno can sell my home at a good price or not..... now condo market is so dead, let alone landed property with no foreign demand.

I was saying generally without going into specific areas... Of course Bukit Timah commands more but other than Bukit Timah, any other area in the West is of the equivalent of Bukit Timah?

I think the East invokes a feeling of resort/vacation what with all the major beaches and chalet in the East, and the Airport as well. While the west tends to be a bit of industrial.

talk rubbish - if you indeed own a landed property in TK then you should know that the law forbids you selling your property to foreigners unless of course you bought leasehold landed which makes you a bigger idiot that you already are ..

Why u call me idiot? I said precisely there is NO foreign demand! Do you need me to spell out in ABC that there is no foreign demand because of which section of the law? OMG!

I don't think it is fair to say that the west is industrial, actually only Tuas is industrial lah and that is very far out. Other than that, Alexandra, Rochester, Bukit Timah, Upper Bukit Timah, Hillview, Holland Village, Ulu Pandan, Gillman, Portsdown etc etc. is quite nice :) Chill out at these places sometimes and find out it's quite happening. But the higher proportion of HDB upgrader in the east pvt ppty means prices should remain quite strong even in a down market which is good news for everyone :)

How about jalan loyang besar which is along pasir ris park/beach which is less crowded and cleaner? The environment over there seems very pleasing for self stay as it is very laid back and resort kind of living as it is surrounded by chalets...The only set back is the distance to the city...

Foreigners is not eligible to buy landed properties regardless of freehold or 99LH right?

Landed owners r usually having old cash who hopes to pass down their homes and lands to future generations...They own the LAND so ur kids etc can choose stay on and even rebuild....That's old tradition...Nobody is idiot...

You are a bigger idiot for not knowing what we're trying to point out. All you mentioned are facts that are already known. What we're trying to point out is that there is no difference between owning a landed in TK and BT with regards to sellling it to Foreigners - because you simply can't!

Just realised that directly opp the Treeline, there is some sort of old folks home. Don't read chinese (hehe) so did not realise till wife mentioned it.

Anyone know what exactly is this place and how long they've been there? Maybe got enbloc potential since their location is really good, hehe...
Can anyone just pay to enter or have to be some clan or association member, my wife thinks but cant recall exactly, that it was some kind of clan or something. We've got aged parents so maybe a good idea if we do move into that neighborhood eventually. Dont ask me to call them directly, I'm curious but not that curious!!

Any fengshui expert got comments about old folks home directly facing your property? Any 'remedies'? hehe...

Nice place the Treeline but maybe not for us... we'll keep looking though because we like this neighborhood!

Is there any reason why you go around calling people idiot? Is that how you carry yourself? Why can't you just engage in proper discussion? Just curious, do you stay in Telok Kurau? If yes, you really shame everyone there! I feel sorry for your neighbours.

People buy landed property for a reason. I don't see why you call them idiot! For all you know, this person has made tons of money from this landed property as well (realised or otherwise)!

The person who stay in landed in TK was just sharing his experience staying in the area about the place getting crowded and roads not wide enough for so many condos. There is no need to call people idiot - name-calling without engaging in proper discussion doesn't make you wise and raise doubts on your upbringing. There is nothing here that say that people who stay in landed cannot comment here. This is one of the worst threads. Other threads are at least more civilised and open to both positive and negative comments. Let's all learn to discuss properly without calling names.

There is no need to call people idiot - name-calling without engaging in proper discussion doesn't make you wise and raise doubts on your upbringing. There is nothing here that say that people who stay in landed cannot comment here. This is one of the worst threads. Other threads are at least more civilised and open to both positive and negative comments. Let's all learn to discuss properly without calling names.



Agree with you!

Now, there is nothing wrong with sharing your experiences abt TK but he is comparing his landed with the same in BT. I ask you what relevance is there in that?

Have you actually read his post and understood what he was talking about before you posted?

Anyone can post anything. if he want to compare TK to another area which he is moving to. So be it. At the end of the day, nice or not is relative to something right? Let's move on. Or else like someone say like Everitt neighbours like that which is not far away from Telok Kurau! Don't let the bickering neighbours and name calling virus spread to TK :)

haha .. that's like shooting yourself in the foot. so i am entitled to post my views and opinions then. well, since you guys have likened TK with Everitt, then so be it cos if you look at all the TK threads, they're all the same.

It's not like I as defending TK or anything. Hell, I don't even live there and probably never will but we're talking about condos here and not about LANDED. You can have your views about landed in TK in relation to condos in TK or even the area in TK. You could probably compare condos in TK with other condos elsewhere. That's fine but he was going totally out of point ... and look at the ttitle of the post .. it says Treeline ...

Actually frankly speaking, all the "condos" in TK seem to have the same outline / shape.

It's like to developers ask the same architect to cut and paste the development plans.. (abit must change the name a bit)..

Whoever paid 900 to 1000 psf for these condos will be screaming CCB come 2 to 3 yrs time when the prices plunge down to realistic levels.

If you give the whole estate a fleeting look, it does appears they all look the same.. after all, one characteristics of TK is low rise… that in my opinion is also a key advantage... after all, that means no HDB is in sight

But looks carefully and deeper and you will see the difference...

Then again, if you give all condo a fleeting look… don’t they all look the same…. Windows.. balcony…

I hope you are right that the prices will come plunging to "realistic" level... the thing is, in Singapore... income never seems to go up and property prices never seems to come down. For the sake of everybody, i do hope you are right.

Been to a few projects, how do you guys rate this developer Roxy Homes?

Think they're very active in the TK area, we've seen at least 4 projects that they do (Treeline, Verte, something opp the Verte, etc)... so maybe that is why some think the "look" is quite similar. Certainly for their designs, "iconic" does not come readily to mind... although their ID I must say is quite nice... but when you think about all the ledges, balconies, walls they tear here, tear there, its kinda misleading... :)

Also, Fragrance is active i think in the East, although more towards Joo Chiat area...

Heck, why dont we talk about the Developers here... which Developers are the responsible ones giving good value for money... ie which ones are good, average, avoid...? And WHY?

Would be useful to know as a general guide...

Hi guys,
I went to see Treeline a couple of months back and I understand owners were trying to sell at about 1000psf for that development (it was about April 2008 I think).

I went to one of the apartments and did note it appears the workmanship is somewhat less satisfactory than what I had hope for. I am hoping to hear some views from you on the following:-

1. What is the current asking price for Treeline, for apartments which are on sale; and
2. What is the quality of the finishing/workmanship for this development, given my one-time experience with this development may not be representative of the works' and
3. What is the broader/general feel of Roxy Homes' quality of finishings in their development ?

Thanks in advance.
